Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for September 14, 2012

A true talent always goes unrecognized in their own environment.

Danae has a future in Political Speech Writing…

Yes, Danae. Thank you very much for ending your story.

They’re just stunned by your greatness, Danae. Greatness of what, I shall not say.

I love the skull and crossbones emanating from her. Danae, my little Princess of Darkness!

It’s an awed silence. They probably think it took her all summer to complete a computer game.

That’s what I like, a teacher who can ZING without sending to the principal’s office.

A prohet is not without honor in his own country. Good thing they recgnized that she’s a false one.

ppfffhhhhheaaah!(That’s the nearest I can approximate what came out of my mouth at the last panel.)Good one, Wiley.

Yes, Danae. Thank you very much for that piece. And when December comes, think about what Santa will give you for Christmas…that is, when you go visit him!

I dunno — I’d think the rest of the class would enjoy the story. It sounds better than a trip to Disney World,

It ought to make for best-selling sci-fi.

Philosophy is questions that don’t have answers, religion is answers that can’t be questioned.

“The ‘Golden Rule’ appeaers no where in the three Abrahmic based religions. If it does point it out please?”

Well, according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_Rule :

The “Golden Rule” has been attributed to Jesus of Nazareth: “Therefore all things whatsoever would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them” (Matthew 7:12, see also Luke 6:31). The common English phrasing is “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”.

This source also discusses the Golden Rule as it appears in Judaic and Islamic writings, as well as in the writings of other religions.

Space monkey enslavement doesn’t sound so horrible…might be fun…

Danae….the adoration seeker.

The students look surprised. You would think, by now, they would be very used to her strange antics.

Don’t you mean spaced out?

Is this the teacher Calvin had?

Truly, I say to you, no prophet is acceptable in his hometown." Luke 4:24

The golden rule.

Whoever has the gold, makes the rules.

the kids look scared.

I love that kid!

Well, at least give her an “A” for creativity.

The story of this invasion has left me speechless. Just speechless. I just don’t know what to think…. space monkeys… oh my….. .maybe a movie deal?

Danae, a future writer for Fox News.

maybe she really had a very boring summer?

Luke 6:31: “Do to others as you would have them do to you.” Said by Jesus to the disciples.

Matt. 7:12 adds, "This is the law and the prophets. "

Muslim: “Not one of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” Forty Hadith of an-Nawawi 13

Leviticus 19.18: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD.”

and Lev. 19:34: “You shall treat the alien who resides with you no differently than the natives born among you; you shall love the alien as yourself; for you too were once aliens in the land of Egypt. I, the LORD, am your God.”

and also Judaism (Talmud): ’When a certain heathen went to Hillel, he said to him, “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor: that is the whole Torah; all the rest of it is commentary; go and learn.” ’ Shabbat 31a

+++++

It actually appears in all three Abrahamic religions. If only we were good enough to live up to it!

So you mustn’t murder someone but you can kill them?.Death as a punishment is no punishment at all. It frees you from suffering. It strikes me that the bible is interpreted to say whatever one wants it to say.

But the ten commandments are Old Testament, aren’t they?

I didn’t start this religious diversion and maybe I should have ingored it.

Slave space Monkeys? I want some…Know why? So I could free them! Well,after they mow the lawn, or shovel the snow., anyway…Wait, kids are space Monkeys? I knew it!

Am a very spiritual person, but don’t have a clue how this comic inspired religious commentary. Maybe it’s just a private conversation betwixt members….

The kids do looked stunned and scared – I would like to hear the whole story, not just the ending.

I have a feeling this will pass….the Principal is possibly in a straight jacket over Danae’s stunts from last year…..and besides the teacher’s reaction tells me she doesn’t beleive a word of it.
