    Live by the snowball, die by the snowball… And to think this is his own imagination doing this to himself.

    “Dawning comprehension”- sometimes it can be worse than being hit with a ton of snowballs . . .

    They called to the mountains and the rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who sits on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb! For the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?” Revelation 6:16-17

    That’s an awful lot of snowballs to come out of one bucket. Kinda like a gunfight where you don’t ever run out of ammo.

    Not going to happen. First of all, she doesn’t want the job. Second, her ongoing health issues would prevent her from running even if she wanted to. Finally, she has too much baggage — people still haven’t forgotten about Whitewater or the recent fiasco regarding the invasion. I don’t want the Republicans to win in 2016, either, but the Democrats are dreaming if they really think that Hillary is a viable candidate!

    Calvin is looking aghast in panel 3 with his mouth agape. It’s ‘open’ to conjecture, but he might even have swallowed a few snowballs

    To whom it may concern (from yesterday):The process of evolution involves billions of years of pain, suffering and death long before humankind (and sin) entered the world. A loving God wouldn’t create in such a cruel, callous fashion.Adam (and Eve) sinned when they ate the forbidden fruit. It brought a curse (pain, suffering and death) upon the entire universe. All humans descend from Adam and inherited the sinful nature from him. See Romans 5:12. Fortunately, God provided a Savior to pay the penalty for our sins and reconcile us to God. See John 3:16

    If you mean Puddleglum2’s comment…she (I think they are a ‘she’) only rarely waxous religious, but has been here since 2009, far longer than you. She’s not a troll, but a valued commenter. Once in a while isn’t gonna’ kill you. Free speech and all that.

    Because everything that Hobbes does is really done by Calvin. … Is this an early warning sign?

    May I tiptoe lightly across these waters? (If you say “no,” then skip to the next comment ;-)-No argument that we humans limit God to our own experience or views. That is a shame, and we deserve every caution to not be so foolish.-But…you mentioned individuals recorded in the Hebrew scriptures who knew God face to face; then you call those same scriptures mythology. Which is it? Even Jesus did not deny the reality of Adam and Eve, even quoting Genesis 2 as if it were historical fact (See Matthew 19:4-6). You have repeatedly asserted these texts are mythology, without citing an authority or giving specific proof. You know better…-You stated we know “absolutely NOTHING ABOUT God.” Can that be true? Then why did He reveal himself in a Bible? Why did He send His Son to the earth for us? Why does James 4:8 tell us to “draw close to God, and he will draw close to you?” No doubt that we cannot claim to know ALL about God, but we can and should know SOMEthing about Him, even if it is merely His view of right and wrong. Even by looking in the metaphorical mirror, as humans made in His likeness, we should learn something about God just from analyzing our nobler selves.-Your viewpoint, please: Doesn’t the original Hebrew word for “sin” involve an archery term and merely means to miss the mark, as in a bullseye? If so, then our being in God’s likeness but continually missing that mark even on our good days is all that is meant by “sin.” It is not synonymous with “evil,” but just imperfect. What do you think of that? Where would such imperfection come from, other than where Puddleglum correctly cited St. Paul at Romans 5:12?

    Therein lies the common sad belief. God is not punishing us all for Adam’s transgression. He is showing us how to save ourselves. Here’s how it works:-The tree that Adam and Eve ate from was called the “tree of the knowledge of good and bad.” The most important word there is “the knowledge.” (I know, sounds like two words). In the original Hebrew, “the knowledge” meant absolute right to decide what was good and bad; not the awareness of good and bad. So, when they ate that fruit, they were taking from God something only He could possess as the Creator. They were stating, in effect, “We can decide for ourselves what is good and bad. We don’t need you, as you are not a good ruler. We declare our independence from you.” This, before they had any children.-We are born with this innate independence from God, as if we inherited it. It does not condemn, no, instead it provides reason for God to extend mercy to us. As if we have a natural excuse, as if we are disabled at birth. So, he gave us His Son as a sacrifice to buy us back, if we so choose.-But it is still our choice. We can allow ourselves to be saved by listening to God and behaving accordingly, or we can stubbornly refuse by continuing to reject Him. Our choice.-This world is often an indifferent place, often because even those who claim to listen to God do not really.

    Such deep thoughts you have no gathering place or enough people that think alike to trade this wisdom to have a web cite .You must use a cartoon of a 5 yr old boy to express your self.no wonder all you guys are at war all the time.

    Hi rgcviper. Glad you enjoy the strips. Pearls Before Swine is a bit of a twisted strip, sometimes like The Far Side. But Stephan Pastis has a genius not unlike Bill Watterson’s, sometimes touching on deeper issues and sometimes being just plain funny at the same time. Here is a Pearls Before Swine strip that really cracks me up. And since today’s Calvin and Hobbes strip involves a bucket, I can even argue that this one is related and therefore not off-topic.
