Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for August 25, 2022

The “life” membership was only for the term of the contract….

Last night I prayed for a beer, and then one appeared. Was it god man, or did the bartender notice I was empty? Well, I’ve never tithed a cult, so it must have been the keen eye of the bartender.

Don’t let your membership lapse. Resubscribe to the God-Man Fan Club today. FYI the price has gone up… a tad… And certain benefits are now only available to Gold and Platinum members.

Worst “superhero” ever.

George Carlin was right: "God, sees all, knows all, but just can’t handle money!! Religion takes in millions of Dollars a year, pays no taxes, and always needs just a bit more!!’

If an orange faced buffoon makes it back…those who donated to the Cause will be saved. The rest of us who did not donate will be rounded up for a cement shoe try on.

Only slightly off-topic, but with Lake Mead drying up there’s been reports of bodies being discovered after decades in the water. Have any of them been found with their feet in a bucket of cement? I heard that one was found in a barrel, but none so far wearing “cement shoes”.

Nowadays it a thirty day free trial. No credit card needed. ( I do recall taping two quarters to a sheet of paper, then mailing it in for one silly thing or another)

God-Man had a side gig delivering the Record of the Month Club selection that you didn’t order. Kept him pretty busy

The “God-Man Fan Club” seems reminiscent of the “Supermen of America” club that DC Comics did in just about every issue of Superman and Action Comics from the mid-1940s through the mid-1960s. Each issue would present a cryptogram readers could solve by using a membership card that also served as a decoder. In the beginning, the cryptogram solutions were inspirational (though non-religious) sentences. By the 1960s, the cryptograms served to tell readers of what was upcoming in the “Superman Family” of comic magazines. The codes used were identified as “Code Neptune Number (whatever),” “Code Saturn Number (whatever),” and so on.

I never needed those “codes”…I’ve been solving cryptograms out of the Dell line of puzzle magazines for decades. And thanks to this site:

…I was able to see all those “Supermen of America” promotional spots from before I was born. d;o)

Yesterday’s Super-Fun-Pak-Comix also featured God. If you didn’t see it, here’s the link: https://www.gocomics.com/super-fun-pak-comix/2022/08/24

Build your church on a rock.

You have to keep up your membership. Omniscience and omnipotence include the power of memory erasure. The omni part is subject to Divine Whim. That’s why the Problem of Evil is a non-issue.

Does God take attendance each week? Does he keep a spreadsheet of your tithing? The church would say “No”, but then shames people who don’t attend weekly and tithe.

Paying your dues would have been a wise move if you don’t want to pay the vig.
