Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 29, 2015

So which side of the political chasm are our visitors on? I know folks on both sides that could be these folks. : )

You know, Flo, you could just inform them that you don’t serve their type here. The fireworks would make quite a show.

I’d love to drink a beer with jaw man there….I already like him better than her….

I’ve always loved the line in most bad movies…“It is so written!”

Interesting that those who can’t stand to have their beliefs questiioned, are the same folks who refuse to accept others’. (btw: facts aren’t just “beliefs” foks)

Maybe they think their amidst vegetarians, not veterinarians as I thought yesterday?

Painting Christians with a pretty broad brush, are we?

Cue “Us and Them” by Pink Floyd.

When was it ever said that they are “Christian”? Y’all are projecting. All we really know is that they’re loony intolerant religionists of as-yet unspecified denomination.

If we said such it is because we have been the butt of most jokes about rude, ill humored, ditzy, bigoted, poorly mannered people The list is much longer than that but you get the point (?)

when someone swings a bat at your head you wince and duck Unless she’s referring to a giant ant behind Earl

It’s not any specific religion. It’s just the fanatics, zealots and fundamentalists from every religion.

religion ruins everything.

They are probably Devout Humans.Humans are noted for this type of behavior.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

They must be Obama Democrats

See, now this is exactly why I go over to Lake Michigan in the summer time…Wisconsonians live over on the other side…That means they are them, over there……We must go to the Lake to stand guard….Against them…..Many times I go to the Lake even on hot days in the summer…Just to watch out for them over there……

If you’re too embarrassed to say what you think, or have to back it up with lies, you know deep down that what you’re defending is wrong.

I once knew a family so screwed up that the only normal one in the crowd was the gay one.Mom was a religious nut. Hated every body not a member of her (insert religious preference here).Dad was a gung-ho National Guard Hero Warrior .(Not dissing NG, just him). Lived and breathed military. Carried an M-1 Garand in his truck.Wore fatigues. This was BC (before camo). The “straight” boys were as screwy as Dad. Two of them became teachers and both had to change schools occasionally for "improper conduct " with students. Two of them became big time lawyers and both were caught in shady shenanigans, even for lawyers. Usually involving blackmail, booze, broads, illegal money, shady real estate deals, etc.

The gay one was a nice guy, courteous, thoughtful and considerate of others. Even in a small Texas town in the 50s, people knew he was one of “them”. But it didn’t matter. He was welcome in his church, nobody tried to “convert” him to straight. He was accepted just as he was.

it seems no one stops these “loonies” from their dirty deeds. how these “kind” are allowed to ruin “religion” for the others who are of the “loving” faith. speak up and stop these kind or else all are painted by the evil ones.

I thought questioning the dominant religion or even not being part of the dominant religion was oppression against said religion. At least to hear some people talk.

The great thing about closed minds is that they never have to worry about learning something new, or correcting something thats not true.

Definitly Liberals.

Gee, I thought it was the ones who were intolerant of religious people.

Somehow, this song chorus seems appropriate:“Go ahead and hate your neighbour,Go ahead and cheat your friend.If you do it in the name of Heaven,You can justify it in the end.There won’t be any trumpets blowing,Come the judgement day!On the bloody morning after,One tin soldier ran away.”

It’s all about the cat.

Mr. & Mrs. Buffoon are obviously made of straw, but Wiley has chosen not to draw them that way.

Yeah Flow, a very long day. And now whether it is blasphemy or hearsay. Another little problem besides them and them or is it they and they. Just what religion is so intolerant? It seems as if it does not even tolerate the intolerants or the other way around or whichever way or not that way, or I mean . . . well maybe forget. . .

“hatred is justifiable………as long as religion says so.”~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Love it!

They are probably just dog lovers and want nothing to do with “cat people”

that’s not intolerance, that’s “religious freedom”!

for the slow out there, that was sarcasm.

From childhood I came to associate all religion with intolerance and hate. As a child I was taught who had the right religion, we did, and who had the wrong religion, everyone else did. I was told to only associate and marry “my own kind,” and to distrust and avoid all of “them.” The fact that I had the ability to think for myself and see all the silly rituals and beliefs for what they are didn’t endear me to my family who I eventually separated myself from completely, in part due to their virulent racism which showed its full ugliness when my niece was living with her boyfriend who was from Africa. I feel like I’ve broken the chain of ignorance and I judge all people “by the content of their character,” as someone once famously said, and my life is good and not filled with hate or chauvinism, nor are the lives of my grown children. I feel very fortunate.

Well (if they don’t breathe any air previously breathed by sinners) That About Wraps It Up for (them and their) God. (See Oolon Coluphid, according to Douglas Adams)

That’s why I’ve become a Frisbeetarian. We just drift through life and when we die, our souls float up onto the roof and just lay there.

>>>So which side of the … chasm are our visitors on?

I’m shocked, SHOCKED, at the narrow-minded perspective that the chasm only has two sides. The philosophically ideal chasm is a true circle, affording an infinite number of sides.

They represent the LGBT community. They’re out to persecute anyone who disagrees with their thoughts. They have no problem with putting honest people out of business, ordering pizzas that they don’t intend to pick up, yelling, and making death threats. They’re the true intolerant ones.

I must admit, I have this degree of negativity towards smokers.

Whatever their beliefs, they are most definitely insane. as are most far right (or left) wingers.

Wait…did Flo just call Eddie sane?

I don’t think that questioning the beliefs of adherents of religions other than one’s own can be either heresy or blasphemy. Your religion has no authority over me.When the questioning becomes Hate Speech as defined by the secular laws of my country then the line has been crossed.Questioning others’ beliefs (as well as one’s own, of course) leads to constructive and healthy intercourse in a civilized world.Wiley, I’m afraid it is going to be a long day.

I am so sick of this. Haters all around. Checking out of N S for a while.

“Our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children’s future. And we are all mortal.” – John F. Kennedy

I am bored with this story arc already

Ah, the broader the statement, the narrower the mind.

cahn’t figger out if the cat is left wing or right wing. seems to be a swing shoulderer.

I bet if Wiley looks at this thread of comments he is laughing his ass off at how so many can get so worked up over his comic strip.

Acupuncture is the least understood medicinal practice.Ty Webb claims to be an expert at acupressure.You can’t be the ball if you can’t see the chi.

Hey, folks – these are just generic loonies.You know, the “my mind is made up and the facts can’t sway me” type.Doesn’t matter what group they belong too; what matters is who’s identifying with them.

I don’t think it’s blasphemy OR heresy if you’re not a member of the same faith?

Whiteheron, don’t tell ‘em…..Hate to lose the element of surprise….No, we won’t attack…because we’re too lazy….But we’ll be sittin’ there on the beach pretending to drink beer….waiting…..

Religions don’t kill people, people who believe in religions kill people…
