Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for March 16, 2014
Transcript:
Homer the Reluctant Soul Bert: So you were accused of sorcery because Duncan's wolf pack protected you and Speranza*? Homer: Yeah...so the Roman army was sent to arrest me...or kill me... *Italian for hope. Homer: They're only here for me... We can't fight them. You and Duncan need to go hide. Hope: But... Homer: There's no time...go! I was brought before a tribunal to determine my fate. Man: Things would go much easier if you'd renounce your practice of sorcery, young man... Homer: How can I renounce something I haven't done? Man: Exactly the sort of clever diversion tactic a sorcerer would use...perhaps you need more time to think about it...

Homer’s ordeal continues in heaven. If we believe what our parents believed, have we evolved?

I am progressive enough to be for gay civil marriage. A civil marriage is not recognized by the church, which is fine. But, it is an alternative lifestyle. If between said gay partners, one has a child, I think that child should be with them. But, I am against them adopting children. Their lifestyle is still not the norm and we should not allow adoptions of unrelated children to them. I am not saying that I am afraid of sexual abuse, I am saying that showing that lifestyle as normal and correct is not in the child’s favor.

All these comments are why I ignore organized religion. I try sticking to the first Golden Rule, so far, so good.

The lightning rod is proof that Churches accept the logic that Science can protect the building where God cannot. (Puts on Nomex underpants, ducks and runs from the less-amused bigots.)

There’s a standing ovation for you at my house. Thank you for your eloquence, sir or madame.

Mr. Miller – I enjoy your story, sir. It reminds me of story time at the library when I was a kid (40+ years ago). It was on Wednesdays, and was about half an hour in length. Many stories were “continued next week”. We kids all looked forward to the next time. Thanks.

A propos of nothing that has come before, there’s a winter storm named “Wiley” that has moved across the northern US and will hit Philadelphia, etc. (Looks as if it’ll miss Maine!) Wonder whether it’s named after our own beloved Wiley?

I learned a simple fact a long time ago….that is this: As long as there are pop quizzes in school, there will be prayer in school.
