Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for February 11, 2025

They are still separate in the Constitution! It’s just some people refuse to accept anything that goes against what they want.

Trump and all magats treat the Constitution and the Bible the same.

They embrace the parts they like and sh!t on the rest.

Are you allowed to talk about one or the other, but not both (separation of church and state)?

I’m [mumble mumble]!decades old, and for most of them there decades relatives treated me civil, and so did I. But with the rapist traitor Queen Trump and King Musk? I can’t comprehend no how folks that lowdown mean and ignorant!

tRump is the new religion

A lot of people want their religion to be the State religion but scream bloody murder if it is someone else’s religion. Look up the 30 Years War if you want to see the reason why separation of Church and State is an extremely good idea.

Actually people are so clueless about what separation of church and state mean

Did people know that many states are persecuting Christians on a regular basis ? California, Oregon, Washington state governments hate Christian’s but people want to live in their imaginary world

The mixing of a heart and smiley face is kind of creepy.

Is Wiley trying to tell us something?

As far as I can tell , the only thing that MAGAs like about the Constitution is the Second Amendment—and even then, they only like the part that says they can own guns. The part that requires that gun ownership should be part and parcel of a trained militia unit is completely ignored.

I can’t think of any English-speaking country that’s not a hellish theocracy. Were there diners in 1491?

I’m not sure religion & politics have ever been separate.

Besides the racism, misogyny, stupidity, cruelty and incompetence, what do MAGAts like about the Reality Show Con Artist?

Mom’s Diner?

The Drunken, Incompetent Secretary of Defense is the perfect example of a MAGAt.

’You are an abuser of women — that is the ugly truth and I have no respect for any man that belittles, lies, cheats, sleeps around, and uses women for his own power and ego. You are that man -and have been for years – and as your mother, it pains me and embarrasses me to say that, but it is the sad, sad truth. – email from his Mother

Someone not even a mother could love.

Either way, she’s right.

Now when I say, “Keep your DELUSIONS to yourself.” it covers both areas.

Wow. Such projection by right wing commenters. Best quote I have seen in a while: If fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in a flag and carrying a cross.

The two have been combined for millennia.

That Trump is not Christian (or spiritual) is screamingly obvious, and now there’s a golden-hooved goat idol at Mar-a-Lago covered in fake $100 bills bearing Trump’s picture with In Trump We Trust, and the base of the figure says I Love You with the man’s signature. Why anyone with an ounce of religious foundation can support this monster is beyond me considering how he flaunts his ridicule of them.

When the MAGAts say they “want god back in the schools”….the question is; which one?

There are approximately 4,200 religions, faith groups, and denominations around the world today. The major religions include Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, and Judaism, among others.

Wow! And I thought it was hard to choose a puppy.

If your politics is your religion you’ve got a serious problem. And ANYONE who thinks tRumpty Dumbty is a Christian has no concept of what Christianity is.

Repubs have leaned heavily to the side of religiosity but live deeply in the self-before-country mode. Any schtick that will get the masses to vote their way. Prey on their fears, the worries about ‘the others,’ those who looks or speak differently. Make them uncertain about their medicines, food, and shelter. Blame it on the Dems. Best ways to turn a democracy into an oligarchy.

DOGE they pronounce it D-oh-ge. I think of it more as Doggy, who pretends to do Buttercup’s bidding, whether or not he ever articulates what that is.

“Render unto Caesar, the things that are Caesar’s. Render under God, the things that are God’s.” I guess this quote never made it into the Trump-approved, Evangelical, White Christian Nationalist Bible.

The phonies who pretend to be Christians got OFFENDED when a Bishop called for mercy. Which tells you exactly how authentic their “Christianity” is.

So far, Debaucher In Chief (who claims to be Christian) has attacked Catholics, Episcopalians, and Lutherans. So far.

Or Superbowl half-time shows, apparently. I didn’t watch the Superbowl, so I didn’t see the show, but there’s no escaping the brouhaha.

Is there anything about Trump’s behavior that just doesn’t scream “DICTATOR” That’s what he wants and he’s making it happen.

Perhaps a wall of separation between school and state would help. Maybe governments should get out of the “education” business.

I’ve spent some time in the UK, and they seem to be able to talk/debate peacefully—unless, of course, it’s about football.

It’s amazing how many people vow fealty to both the Bible and the Constitution, seem to be utterly ignorant on both. For example, the first amendment and the first commandment contradict each other. Then again, they dismiss the Jesus of the bible as a “woke libtard”, claiming Trump to be the real Jesus.

Have a talking and a no talking section. If you talk in the no talking section, you get no desert.

What would Jesus do ?

mom’s a little scary!

At least it’s possible (though not likely these days) to rationally discuss politics.

Fine, I’m more than happy to talk about how the Eagles just straight-up whooped the Chiefs this past Sunday.

E-A-G-L-E-S, EAGLES!

After perusing the comments to this comic, it becomes very apparent why the democrats lost the election.

Religion is useful if you want to control people. They’re going that route for a reason.

Good one, Wiley.

yeah… cuz we don’t want ketchup thrown on the walls!

Sounds like good advice to me. It used to be common practice, wonder what changed ? Maybe no FaceBook too would help ? ;-)

For those who want examples of Christian persecution + violations of church and state check out all the examples on the website

Www adflegal org

Just add the dots where they belong

And when was that?! Never!

But we can talk religion OR politics.

They were never separate. It still says In God We Trust on the back of dollar bills

Perhaps it is time for Wiley to do another Leonardo BearVinci panel.

Hmmm, no mention of the great pumpkin.

An old RIPLEY BELIEVE IT OR NOT I remember said there was once a grove of 13 trees that were named after Jesus and his 12 apostles.

During a windstorm,only the tree named Judas was blown down

The last time religion and politics were together it was called the Dark Ages,
