Peanuts by Charles Schulz for July 06, 2018

If you’re near the cabbages, just make sure you’re not in the Avatar universe. I hear the cabbage cart there seems to get smashed a lot.

Be careful you don’t become a moneychanger in the temple, Linus. Many a sincere theologian has fallen into the snare of “Christian marketing.”

Linus remember the beatitudes of Matthew 5:1—12.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.

Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.

Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.

Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for your reward is great in heaven.

I think it is because of the need for theologians to say “Lettuce spray”.

“Lettuce” pray…

Keep it simple. When you get to the point where you debate what the Bible might mean when it uses a specific word, you stopped being a theologian and became a lawyer and you’ve lost the true meaning of the message.

I fear you’re not the most indicated for that, Linus.

And if Lucy tries to slug him, he’d have witnesses.

It’s always about the Benjamins.
