Lord of the Beans

I was referring to the concept of one's "gift" being from God (and specifically, Christ) and needing to find out what He intends you to use it for. I think it's pretty clear that VeggieTales comes at their values from a Christian standpoint -- that's the point, ha ha -- so I think it's fair to call it Christian morals. A more secular viewpoint would be more ambiguous about where one's gifts, or talents, come from. Or, as I've more commonly encountered, would say that you have to look inside yourself for guidance, rather than trying to understand what God wants you to do. Both might lead to the same conclusion (throw the Bean in the well, Toto!) but there's a slightly different slant on the reasons why.

Anyway, the main thing I took away from it was that freshly baked cookies are a good defense against raging Sporks. It's a sound strategy.
