So the frickin' Bible is the answer to all our problems?!?

[n2doc]

Ok, dimwit, How's about we start with "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you"

and "Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's...'

And "What you do to the least of them you do to me"

and " Thou shalt not kill"

Christofascist moron ....

1. it's like those quick fix take a pill and get thin things. people want an easy answer.

as long as we don't have to be responsible for our actions... we can just say it was god's will. or that we were following what the bible says. then we don't have to take responsibility for our choices and the way we treat others.

3. religion, the cancer of a rational society

the world would be a much better place if religion had never been invented.

12. From your lips...

Jesus himself said that he didn't come here to start "religion" but to end it.

Pity the bulk of his followers don't seem to *get* that.

[Count Olaf]

23. Jesus spoke of the same hypocrites in the bible

filling the churches, praying in public...



The answers to our problems are in the teachings of Jesus, and more recently our American prophet Martin Luther King Jr.

All we need to understand what is happening in this country is MLKs speech on Vietnam.

It is the perfect summary of where we are and where we need to go.



"I am convinced that if we are to get on the right side of the world revolution, we as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values. We must rapidly begin...we must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than people, the giant triplets of racism, extreme materialism, and militarism are incapable of being conquered.

A true revolution of values will soon cause us to question the fairness and justice of many of our past and present policies. On the one hand, we are called to play the Good Samaritan on life's roadside, but that will be only an initial act. One day we must come to see that the whole Jericho Road must be transformed so that men and women will not be constantly beaten and robbed as they make their journey on life's highway. True compassion is more than flinging a coin to a beggar. It comes to see that an edifice which produces beggars needs restructuring.

A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa, and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say, "This is not just." It will look at our alliance with the landed gentry of South America and say, "This is not just." The Western arrogance of feeling that it has everything to teach others and nothing to learn from them is not just.

A true revolution of values will lay hand on the world order and say of war, "This way of settling differences is not just." This business of burning human beings with napalm, of filling our nation's homes with orphans and widows, of injecting poisonous drugs of hate into the veins of peoples normally humane, of sending men home from dark and bloody battlefields physically handicapped and psychologically deranged, cannot be reconciled with wisdom, justice, and love. A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.

22. Yeah, "serve one another in love" Pffft!

What's that all about, anyway?

[maxsolomon]

26. My life would not be better without the Dharma

but many consider Buddhism a philosophy rather than a religion.

[WhiteTara]

5. no, Jesus is the answer

I always ask the question...Why is there war and suffering? The answer...Jesus.

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

8. That's a really broad and unfair generalization.

You can't blame that crap on Me!. I was pretty damn clear as to My feelings on the subject.

Not really my fault that a bunch of idiots running around using My name who probably couldn't even give you 4 lines of the Gospel from memory.

[msanthrope]

14. Then why will you not smite them? Your dad did plenty of smiting in

the Old Testament when people pissed him off. Heck, he killed 10 of Job's kids just to make a bet with Satan.

But you? All you've ever done is kill a tree, and move the biblical equivalent of payday loan companies down the street. That's the sum total of your smiting.

Pathetic.

[Canuckistanian]

6. Well, according to this comic

It's the "predominantly white crowd" that has all the answers.

[anthroguy101]

7. Jesus told people to be nice to each other...

I'm sure if Jesus were around today, the first thing the GOTP would say to him is, "Yer not Jesus."

[Yeshuah Ben Joseph]

9. IF Jesus were around today?

Whattya mean "if"?? :hi:

[Canuckistanian]

10. We apologize most humbly, my Lord

:hi:

11. All of the things you mentioned ARE Biblical.

I know you know that, but thank you for pointing it out.

[Joe Bacon]

13. But don't you read their "Bible"--"Atlas Shrugged"?

You know, that wonderful "¢hri$t ¢entered" gospel that goes...

I was hungry and you told me to get off my "lazy ass" and work. You didn't care that I was elderly, disabled or orphaned.

I was thirsty and you said the "invisible hand" of the free market would force me to dig for some water.

I was a stranger and you despised me because of the color of my skin or I was gay or lesbian.

I was naked and you had me arrested for lewdness.

I was ill and you told me that I should have bought a better health insurance policy, even though nobody would sell me a policy because of my pre-existing condition

I was in prison and you cheered because it was my third strike.

[Ruby the Liberal]

21. Those beckites would hate rand if they knew she was an atheist.

[HopeHoops]

17. Sure, if you you can't get the backyard firepit to light.

Of course, I'm talking about the teabagger version of the bible (lower case in this instance) that only contains selected passages from Leviticus and heavily modified or invented passages from other portions - all of which prove that God is white, Jesus was white (with blond hair and blue eyes), and both is/are Republican. The 2nd Amendment is one of the 10 Commandments - the other 10 have been left out due to massive violations by teabaggers (math isn't their strong point - if they have one). It is also written in 24 pt. type, about 12 pages long, and without any words beyond a 2nd grade level ("fag" is okay because they can spell it out).

[Tsiyu]

20. K & R

That Big Ol Constitution doesn't say anything about a Bible...



Thanks for continuing to bring us these awesome 'toons...

24. Right wing 'Christians' believe in Smith & Wesson, not Jesus.

I know an extreme right wing conservative fanatic. He posted on Facebook how he was looking for advice on what was the best handgun to buy and wanted to spend $500-$600 for one. Then he was going to get a concealed carry permit for additional money. He obviously doesn't put his trust in the Lord, but rather a deadly weapon. He is a Becaholic who believes everything Beck says and that included Beck's lie about Obama wanting to take everyone's guns away.

This 'Christian' constantly condemns the poor, the sick and the unemployed. He believes they are all irresponsible. He even said if a person wearing a gold necklace arrived at an emergency room they shouldn't be treated, because it was obvious that having a necklace was proof of that person's irresponsibility. But this hypocritical right wing Christian didn't even have medical insurance for his wife and three small children. Yeah, that's right, he was wanting to buy a deadly weapon rather than use that $600 to get medical insurance.

From what I've witnessed about right wing, conservative Christians this kind of story is typical. They readily condemn others when they are irresponsible themselves. It's obvious they never read or understood the part in their Bibles about removing the plank from their own eyes before trying to remove the splinters from others. And it's also obvious they love to judge and condemn others. In this person's case he would be a one man 'death panel' who would stand watch at emergency rooms and determine who gets treated depending on what they wore or what jewelry they had on.

Oh yeah, one more thing: When his daughter was born she was in intensive care for almost a month and he didn't pay a dime toward the expenses. Isn't it about time we start to expose these heartless, soulless hypocrites for the kind of people they really are? They thump their Bibles without having a clue what is contained inside. They are hypocrites of the highest magnitude. They profess to be followers of Jesus, but they hate all of the things Jesus taught. Their lack of compassion for others is not just unChristian, it's evil.

[Count Olaf]

25. they would probably faint if they read "sermon on the mount"

Jesus pointed out these hypocrites, and we need to do the same.


They tried to steal the teachings of Jesus, we need to take it back.

The Democratic Party has traditionally been the party of love and compassion- they don't even understand their own religion. BUT that doesn't mean we need to remain quiet while Beck and Palin mislead them- confront them with it.

[AnArmyVeteran]

27. Conservatives believe Jesus should have charged for the fish, bread and the healings.

[gophates]

28. The Bible is the problem to all our answers.

More like it.
