Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 07, 2019

I have a feeling there will be a collection plate involved.

Looks like Lucy’s old Psychiatric booth that got updated. Is it still a nickel or more, adjusted for inflation.

No Danae, this is the way to Bliss: https://www.gocomics.com/bliss/2019/08/07

So many churches have already done this and made billions.

Not for me. I’m sticking with the Church Without Jesus: where the blind don’t see, the deaf don’t hear, and what’s dead stays that way.

It’s like George Carlin said, “how can something be both new and improved? If it’s truly new, it can’t be an improvement on the earlier version, and if it’s improved, that implies it’s already been around a while.”

Well, at least she didn’t say that it was “even perfecter”.

“New and Improved” is almost as bogus as “Totally Unique”. There are NO degrees of uniqueness. Something is either unique, or it’s not. Period!

Do not forget, the word “logical” and the word “religion” do not belong in the same sentence.

My grandfather used to say “if you want to make real money, get into religion because P.T. Barnum was right”.

I get a spam call daily saying it is my FINAL NOTICE!! Marketing.

Might as well run Danae. The candidate list can’t get much worse

DANAE SEASON!

Hard to imagine Danae can show the way to bliss when she doesn’t seem to experience it.

And how can a country be made great again if it is already great? Or is this one of those $#!+hole countries?

I don’t happen to be religious, but I envy those who are. It must be great to be sure of something—— anything. Faith seems to be a pretty solid, powerful thing, it affects many who are quite intelligent about everything else, so I can’t buy the idea that only the gullible are religious. My mind refuses to allow me to have faith in religious doctrine, although I’m pretty sure there’s something greater than us ( which isn’t a very high bar), but it must be nice to be able to just believe.

One of those bored again religions.

Lucy has horse-sense. Danae…nope!

Danae says logic is optional. Actually you’re required to leave it at the door.

Question is, will The Church of Danae offer “thoughts and prayers” when something goes wrong?

Well at least Danae is out doing something unlike dad and sis who seem to only sit around and have no life.

We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.

New and Improved Perfection – a true Non Sequitur!

which probably why something with a “totally new design” is virtually indistinguishable from its predecessor

“Get down on my knees and pray, We don’t get fooled again!”

Does it come with a free gift?

“Logic is optional.” Classic! That explains the current White House administration, the Republican Party and the NRA’s perverted view of the Second Amendment.

I’d rather die on my feet than live on my knees.

There was an all gospel, full time revival radio station near enough to our home to be tuned to:

“Put your hand on the radio brothers and sisters! Can you feel the spirit moving you?”

I was always amused: If your radio is sending a tingle sensation to the case, there’s something really wrong with it.

You could send in to get your _"Genuwine autographed photo of Jeeezus Christ … just send Five Dollars and a self-addressed stamped envelope to P.O. Box 999 (that’s the opposite of the number of the Devil, my friends!)"_ Note: A good pair of blue jeans cost $4.00 then, $5 was pretty serious money, so we never did get one of those photos.

“The profession of shaman has many advantages.

It offers high status with a safe livelihood free of work in the dreary, sweaty sense. In most societies it offers legal privileges and immunities not granted to other men.

But it is hard to see how a man who has been given a mandate from on High to spread tidings of joy to all mankind can be seriously interested in taking up a collection to pay his salary; it causes one to suspect that the shaman is on the moral level of any other con man. But it is a lovely work if you can stomach it."

— Robert Heinlein, “Notebooks of Lazarus Long”

I wonder if she considers “stinky booger brained boys” to be demons, heretics or sinners…
