I'm amazed..again..to find a hidden gem from Rob Bell..one that, though published, has never been quoted on the interwebs or Googled. Let me change the course of history as soon as I hit "publish" on this post.
The first time I found a Bellism that had been missed, it had to do with his "watermelon in the garden" thesis.
This time it has to do with a question I once tackled years ago, in a former life, when I had a "Dear Abby"/Ask Dave column online. It's THE question; one that has dogged many: do dogs go to heaven?
Here you go, hidden in back of the teen edition of "Love Wins":
Of course, we know his theology on cats (they apparently don't make it, as God didn't even make them) from this clip. (:
Gee, for someone being accused of being a universalist (which he denies, watch this), it's nice to know he can exclude. (:

And it has to do with a bias towards penguins.
