And now, in the 21st century, a person cannot become leader of this country unless he or she professes belief in an alternate, and equally preposterous story.
Throughout history, religion has been one HAIRBALL scheme aften another to control people one way or the other. Danae’s is just a bit more upfront! Love it Wiley.
As a curiousity, I wonder how Danae and her sister would respond to learning about Malala, the girl shot in the name of “God” for the crime of wanting an education and saying so.

Darn! That’s the problem about living on the west coast … by the time I get to the comics all you witty folks across the country have already gotten the best lines.
I try to stay awake, listening to good jazz streamed on my computer until 1:10AM, read my favorite strips and comment, then go to bed about 2AM, whenever possible.
I’m back up a little after 5AM to walk the dog. We both then go back to sleep until 8:30AM when I again get back to check out everyone’s witty comments.
MY cats agree with her. And her science is as good as anything the “Real” scientists can come up with sometimes. life from inorganic life with no outside agent. We came directly from Cro mag until the DNA sent that one out the window. Yeah, she’ll get a degree in biophysics this way.
aww, cḿon, krain: you really think there’s cultists involved in theme parks that have cretaceous, jurassic, triassic, and dummassic creatures (i adore the velociraptor peacefully GRAZING next to the caveman family)? XD
Hey Debbie, “Just follow along and no one gets hurt”. Reminds me of all the ministers in my experience who didn’t have an answer for ticklish questions. Wonder what they were taught in theology college – probably “Follow along … etc”
Sounds about as legitimate as any other creation myth. From now on, when cleaning up after one of little kitteh’s barfs I shall now paraphrase the Bhagavad Gita, “I am become death, destroyer of worlds and cleaner of hardwood floors!”
My dog has instructed me to inform the masses that this is not the way it happened…and she should know because dog spelled backwards is…well I think you get the point.
The profession of shaman has many advantages. It offers high status with a safe livelihood free of work in the dreary, sweaty sense. In most societies it offers legal privileges and immunities not granted to other men. But it is hard to see how a man who has been given a mandate from on High to spread tidings of joy to all mankind can be seriously interested in taking up a collection to pay his salary; it causes one to suspect that the shaman is on the moral level of any other con man. But it is a lovely work if you can stomach it. [Lazarus Long, Time enough for Love, by Robert Heinlein]
(Religous) Faith strikes me as intellectual laziness.
