Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for April 08, 2022

My ego shows me someone who is perfect

There is a group for that – it is called Celebrate Recovery

If there’s a god(dess) who actually created each and every species, then (s)he’s either very VERY strange… or not very competent. I cite the human appendix, the human sacroiliac and how praying mantises and octopuses have sex.

God screwed up when it invented religion.

“I’m looking at the Man in the Mirror…” (Bert should have been Michael)

I always get a good laugh whenever someone goes on about how we’re the pinnacle of doG’s creation/evolution or his/her/its “intelligent design.” Really? Intelligent design? Designing a recreational facility as part of an organic waste disposal system? Puhleeze!

I have no gods, but I have no problem with those who do, unless they insist on preaching the gospel of hate and intolerance.

The ulna nerve is on the wrong side of the elbow. I personally think that is a mistake.

I beginning to think that God is an atheist… and had nothing to look up to!

God did exist, with his/her powers all encompassing, he/she decided not to exist, and so it came to pass.

Lot’s of people who are unaware of this still wrangle over what is the meaning of everything and what is gods purpose etc etc ..ad nauseum!

So the wars continue and….there you go!

It doesn’t matter what you believe, so long as it helps you through the dark.

My mirror underlines that imperfect image every day.

I’ve been watching how Ken Burns portrays the evolution of Benjamin Franklin beliefs on PBS. I learned what a tight religious grip Cotton Mather imposed on the citizens of Boston.

If the trigger of Bert’s revelation is looking in the mirror (or reading daily headlines) and concluding that the reflections are epiphanies of the culpable for all the constant messing up, then I’m a believer.

(Believing in gods – or not – is quite beside the point.)

Do good for yourself, and harm none.

Somebody’s been reading Oolon Coluphid’s blockbuster philosophical trilogy: Where God Went Wrong, Some More of God’s Greatest Mistakes, and Who Is This God Person Anyway?

Tomorrow’s theme song: ‘Losing My Religion’.

An art installation that wouldn’t last 3 minutes.

every time i look in the mirror i say, who are you and what did you do with me…?

“When did I realize I was God? Well, I was praying and I suddenly realized I was talking to myself.” — Peter O’Toole

God Made no error. He makes no Errors. Men and women are created in the image and likeness of God. We are given free will to choose right from wrong. If we choose wrong, it is due to our own proclivity to sin, not God’s error. If we give in to temptation to sin, it can often be satan and his demons tempting us to do so and celebrating as he works to claim another soul and keep that soul sperated from God through sin.

GOOD NEWS! JESUS redeems us from our sins and brings us back to God but it requires repentance and sincere and constant efforts to sin no more. Jesus Conquered Satan and death and is victorious eternally. The only questions are these: Do we join Jesus and How do we do it?

Nonsense. God created us in his image. We just reproduced his work poorly.

Most lack the ability to see what the mirror actually reflects.

Why did he design man with perhaps the poorest sense of : sight,hearing and smell for all mammals? Man is also slow afoot, can’t fly and barely swim?

GOD gave us free will and look at what we choose to do with it!

Every morning !

Maybe we’re version 1.0, upgrades coming.

Here’s you Fun Fact for Friday, 8 April 2022;

On this date, in Milan, Italy, 1674, the first pocket was added to Men’s trousers. A tailor, Luigi Fenestrata, had the idea, to make a place for a guy to put his hands, when he had nothing else to do with them. The first pocket was so popular, Luigi added another, opposite the first and then two more in the back. And that is why we celebrate National Pocket Day, today.

Amaze and amuse your friends by sharing this fun fact, with everyone you meet today.

God didn’t mess up. SHE just has a warped sense of humor!

What God desires is in your heart, and your head, and right action…

(paraphrased from “The Kingdom of Heaven”)

If you don’t see yourself in the mirror, you may be a vampire.

Bert is the perfect one, it’s everyone else that God messed up…

It’s handy to have someone else to blame.

I have found the problem, and it is us

I am mailing one of those mirrors to Texas,Missouri,and Arkansas.

Yeah, Bert, but you CAN be saved.

Send your money to a televangelist TODAY!!!

IN THE BEGINNING … marriage was strictly a civil contract. Then the faithful asked for their deity’s blessing on the union. Soon “blessing” became “permission.” That’s when marriage and religion went off the rails.

Considering God starts (always use the present tense when discussing fiction) by lying to his firstborn, I’d say he’s the one that screws it up.

@toma&co. – Good for you, bad for the collection plate.

I believe in God with all my heart but I think most of the bible is made up stories or, at least, tremendously embellished to fit a narrative. Am I alone in this thinking?

Religion is for scared people who can’t or won’t deal with reality .

Too many people believe God messed up. More accurate here would be, “See for yourself an example of God’s best work.”

Two groups, one of Western children, the other of Hindu kids, were asked to point to Heaven.

The Westerners pointed upwards, the Hindus pointed to their hearts.

Telling, izzn’t it !!

Well, I keep looking but I don’t see God!

I don’t care if it rains or freezesLong as I got my plastic JesusRidin’ on the dashboard of my carThrough my trials and tribulationsAnd my travels through the nationWith my plastic Jesus I’ll go farRidin’ down the thoroughfareWith a nose up in the airA wreck may be ahead but he don’t mindTrouble comin’ he don’t seekHe just keeps his eye on meAnd any other thing that lies behindWith my plastic JesusGoodbye and I’ll go farI sit with my plastic JesusSitting on the dashboard of my carWhen I’m in a traffic jamHe don’t care if I say damnI can let all my curses roll‘Cause Jesus plastico doesn’t hear‘Cause he has a plastic earThe man who invented plastic saved my soulWith my plastic JesusI said goodbye and I’ll go farI sit with my plastic JesusSitting on the dashboard of my car, oh yeahAnd if I weave around at nightPolicemen think I’m very tiredThey never find my bottle though they ask‘Cause plastic Jesus shelters meFor his head comes off, you seeHe’s hollow and I use him like a flaskSave me

LOL that’s a nice paradox.

That’s why God tried again with Women.

He’s still thinking about what to do for Number Three.

Seems we don’t want to take responsibility.
