Who knew the clergy was capable of puns?

Bravo!

Be sure to maintain your celibacy padre or you’ll be deflocked.

This joke is prayed out.

If a minister can be defrocked, can a cowboy be deranged?

And here i was thinking this strip was for the birds and you go talking about sheep.Psalm 14:1

You may be thinking of this song, by Knowles Shaw

Sowing in the morning, sowing seeds of kindness,Sowing in the noontide and the dewy eve;Waiting for the harvest, and the time of reaping,We shall come rejoicing, bringing in the sheaves.

Hard for me to see “Sowing seeds of kindness” as a curse —

And at the end of the service they join in a rendition of “I’ll Fly Away!”

Um, the song is “Bringing in the Sheaves”, as in, grain for the harvest, a metaphor for reaping lost souls by evangelizing, NOT fleecing.

If you’re going to hate (again), get your facts straight, although I suspect with your non-medicated dementia, that’s not gonna happen anytime soon. Why must you be such a hate-filled troll?

Besides, I’d rather put my faith in the Creator than his creation. Ya think humans could do any better by themselves? Nope, they gave us liberals – excuse me, “progressives” – who think (or not) that man is somehow above having a God to worship, that we needed to create one for our own benefit, not His.

I challenge you, dare you, defy you to read the Gospel of John or the book of Romans and see for yourself what has been said of the human condition and what God has to say about its remedy.

Unfortunately, there’s more of them than us.

I gather he also refers to them as his … flock?
