Mrs. Almighty: It was working just fine... no need for any commandments, no judgment day paperwork... but would mister "Let's tweak it" listen and leave the dinosaurs alone? No-o-o-o... Mrs. Almighty
Well, there was the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit personas, so I wouldn’t put it past the Almighty to make a Mrs. Almighty. Better to complete the omniscience, methinks.
The dinosaurs were here how many hundred millions of years? And we’ve been on the planet how many thousands and have already compromised its viability?
Love the oil dripping from the bottom. Well don’t love it but….
In certain Gnostic traditions (including some Abrahamic/Gnostic syncretions) the feminine principle of the godhead, aka Mrs. God, aka the Mother of what the Father created, is Sophia - “Wisdom.”
I have to agree with the wife. If man was created in the image of God, that would mean God is a man himself: He can’t leave well enough alone and His attempts to create a better product backfired spectacularly.
Billions of galaxies, billions more stars and planets, and the narcissists on this clump of rock think it’s all about them??? That has to be the chuckle heard across the universe.But observation of our abuse of that rock, and it’s occupants, all of them, has to bring a tear.
OK (no pun intended… well, ok, sorta intended…), he could be long-winded and annoying (a bit of the pot calling the kettle light-reflection-challenged here… boy, this PC stuff is a pain…), but he did often have something interesting to say.
At any rate, he deserved some respect for being a veteran. On balance, I’m going to miss his comments, and I think we’re all the poorer without them…
Joe, if you’re out there reading this stuff sans account/comment privileges, a tip of the hat -
Okay, but in order for her to become MRS Almighty, there had to be a minister or preacher or justice of the peace or someone to marry them! Who was it? Was this person created before Adam and Eve, or an offspring of theirs? This opens up so many questions.
Funniest thing of all is that it’s actually going as planned. We keep screwing up and he keeps forgiving as we exercise our “freedom”. His feminine side is expressed in the Holy Spirit and folks like Anthony are always ripe to actually get to know him once they realize all they have outside him is their hate. That some of us inside him bring it with us and take time getting it cleansed is just the usual order of business.
Funny stuff as usual, W. Wicca may be a little mad at depicting the woman so awfully, though.
Allan, don’t forget the earlier Jihadists…although they called themselves Crusaders…
Actually, if you are going back that far, go back another 500 years to the original Jihadists, who conquered from Spain and France to Anatolia and the Caucasus to India.
Reminds me of the fellow who sadly told me, “When I married Miss Right, I never realized her first name was ‘Always’.”
“Amazing how much venom is spewed at an “imaginary” God , isn’t it ? ;o)”
It’s in equal and opposite measure to the venom spewed in the NAME OF that imaginary God.
In addition to the chicken-and-egg of the Crusaders and the Jihadists, you’ve of course got a couple hundred years of Christians offering New World “savages” the choice between conversion and slaughter. (The “conversion” option came with the bonus of enslavement, at no extra cost!) And the marvelous practice of converting heathens at sword-point and then killing them anyway, so they’d get to go to Heaven! So kind. So compassionate.
It’s those who believe that God gave them dominion over the Earth who’re destroying it, not those who believe they’re a part of the Earth.
@highpriestM - sorry, but the “man” created in his image is “human” - not “woman” or “werman” (old words for male & female - wonder why just the male prefix got dropped?)
LOL, WIley - life would be so much simpler if there were just the dinosaurs
I don’t see why JAD would be blocked or removed or whatever they do. Yes he is long winded and sometimes a bit annoying, but, as you said, he did have some interesting things to say sometimes and deserves recognition for serving us in Nam. I don’t recall anything he said that deserves removal. It seems more likely that something is wrong. Hopefully his internet connection went down or something like that and will be fixed. We should hope and, if a believer, pray he is OK.
If you hadn’t seen ALL of the posts that got Joe banished, then you don’t know. If you only know him from some strips, you don’t know what what he was posting elsewhere. Like Eris with the apple of discord, his very presence caused unrest. I’m just sayin’…
Joe dreamed of being a martyr to his beliefs, of being persecuted for the One True Faith, By being banished from GoComics, no doubt he feels a certain satisfaction. Let’s leave him to that,
As for the disappearance of Joe, it could be that he finally got sick of all the grief (deserved or not) that he got and he just had himself “removed”. It could happen … maybe.
I’m just sayin’ Christians really haven’t shown themselves to be better in that regard than anybody else, and much worse than some.
Anybody claiming to be doing the work of God (or gods) needs to be watched very carefully, because there’s no extreme they won’t feel is justified, no behavior to which they will not stoop.
wow, I didn’t realize all his comments were gone! That probably means kicked out, doesn’t it?
Ekert might find some interesting stuff in the comments here and there. Wish Wiley had put an extra k in the name - Ekkert means “nothing” in Icelandic :D
I think the reason that Joe got kicked out was because he was harassing a number of cartoonists. I know of at least 3. Rather than not viewing those cartoons he chose to publicly criticize them and became very confrontational. On Sunday7/11/2010 he started in on the creator of “Frog Applause”. The creator simply would post his remarks on her blog and he blew his stack.
You can see some of the posts that she copied to her blog at http://tinyurl.com/feel-the-love-frog-blog .
She never once attacked him. She only made his posts public in another forum.
“I’m just sayin’ Christians really haven’t shown themselves to be better in that regard than anybody else, and much worse than some.”
Perhaps you should use the qualifier “nominal Christians” . They may claim the name but don’t play the game (much like the imams who teach teenagers to blow themselves up along with everyone around them).

See prior response. Any “Christian” claiming that God told him to blow up an abortion clinic is obviously ignorant of Christ’s teachings. Same goes for the “smallpox in a blanket” crowd .
