In the Bleachers by Ben Zaehringer for June 25, 2009

that’s so base of him

this comic is always so real and funny!!

threw him a curve that time

So that’s why so many barkeepers have a bat behind the counter! I always wondered…

You could have a fantasy team of Don Money at third, Dave Cash at second, Norm Cash at first, MARK Belanger at short, Curt Schilling on the mound, BUCK Martinez at catcher, BILL Robinson in left, Hunter Pence in center, and Brad Penny (normally a pitcher) playing right field in an emergency.

the last time i was” voted in” to something i wound up spending 40 years with the government

LOL! bald

Thanks for the explanation of your name EMET. I don’t know much Hebrew, but it is interesting. Are you a Messanic Jew?

Thanks for the vote of confidence! A

bmonk I found out in my concealed carry class that it is legal to carry a baseball bat or golf club even if you don’t play the sport, but it is illegal to carry a stick especially designed as a weapon. (Like a night stick, etc.) At least that’s the law here in KS, and I would imagine that goes for most other states. Therefore, people who don’t have a license to carry a gun, often keep a bat or golf club handy.

EMET Just wondered. When we were looking for a church home, we visited a Messanic congregation a few times, and much of what you say reminds me of what I heard there, although I’m not positive, as we didn’t go to their Sabbath school and hear their theology in detail.

Proverbs 17:22 “A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

pookid I resemble that Avatar or maybe I’m just bragging :D

i am breaking my rule about commenting on religions here, just this once. i’ve not made any great study comparing them, but what i have learned seems to indicate that they all have the same basic message. to wit, live in peace and harmony - don’t hurt each other - treat others as you would be treated by them, etc. if you’ll excuse the expression, it seems the devil is in the details. i have gone from being raised a catholic, through professions of atheism and (later) agnosticism, to where i currently state that i belive in God without believing in religion. probably confusing to some (and heresy to the fundamentalists), but it suits me. (and i won’t bug anyone about their beliefs if they don’t bug me about mine.) i now return to my normal silence on the subject.

We liked the music, but since their services start at 7pm on Fridays, and last past 10pm, the schedule just doesn’t work out for my husband, as he has to get up really early for work.

I asked someone who I knew had Hebrew heritage (her grandma experienced Nazi Germany) and asked which tribe they were from. She told me that no one really knows what tribe they’re from because the records were all destroyed. (I think in 70 AD, but my memory might be wrong.)

Since Jesus was born as a Jew, and lived in that culture, I think it helps to understand the significance of a lot of the NT, if we understand the OT better.

yyyguy The important thing is to have a relationship with Jesus. We are to assemble with other believers to encourage one another, but every group (congregation/church) of humans will have problems. If you read the Bible and seek God, you will find the Truth. I don’t mind talking about religion, but I don’t think arguing is profitable. I’d rather people answer questions calmly, and otherwise leave the subject alone. However, I have trouble with people expecting me to be silent on religion, but it is okay for them to spout things that go against what’s in the Bible. Even though I may not agree with the theology of someone’s relgion, I find it interesting to learn more about the terms, culture, etc. of that religion. As long as we treat each other respectfully, the topic shouldn’t be forbidden. That said, we’re at gocomics to read the comics, and have fun, so I will try to not turn this into a religion forum.

religion? religion? we don’ need no steenking religion!
