Peanuts by Charles Schulz for March 30, 2015

I will have to try that.

sounds blasphemous to me

What if you kneel on the other side of the bed?

Lucy seriously has that “I’m so done” look on her face.

Though, she’s pretty much like that with everything and everyone.

At least they’re still publishing comic strips that show people praying.

Such are how great theological advances made.

Back to 1968 daily strips, and with praying with your hands upside down you feel like you are in a Bizarro world.

So why is Linus all ready for bed, and Lucy isn’t? She’s not that many years older. Of course, there are also strips where she’s seeing Linus off to school, but there’s no sign that she’s going too. The dilemma of not showing adults when you actually need one for the set-up.

Religious belief, however, is not a victimless crime. For support of this statement I refer you to the well reasoned and written book, The End of Faith: http://www.samharris.org/the-end-of-faith

R’amen

This has nothing to do with theology and everything to do with psychology: Linus is merely testing out reverse psychology on God!

OK, let’s all try Linus’s trick and report back here with our findings.

A recent survey revealed a significant percentage of folks actually consider themselves “spiritual” but not “religious”. This means although they believe in a spiritual being, they do not practice their faith in a physical presence such as in a church or with like believers…

so, what if God says “no”?

Lucy has the patented Charlie Brown “Good Grief” expression in the last panel.

Cute… Real cute.
