Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for December 14, 2022

We’re all equal under St Peter’s gaze.

I hope to see Muskrat standing there, that dude is dangerous!

It’s not what you have accomplished that counts.

It’s what has been accomplished for you that matters.

The day many find out how great they weren’t.

Apparently it isn’t anything to do with what a great person you were, but WHETHER YOU BELIEVE!!

Interesting take on “The first shall be last”.

Humility, obviously, isn’t one of his greatest accomplishments. It’s sadly true for most, if not all, televangelists. Probably the most under utilized superpower in all of Christendom. I should know. I used to be one.

A man said to the universe:

“Sir, I exist!”

“However,” replied the universe,

“The fact has not created in me

A sense of obligation.”

War Is Kind Stanza 96 – Stephen Crane (1871-1900)

“You got to cross that lonesome valley / You got to cross it by yourself …”

I used to think “you can’t take it with you” only applied to money.

If there were actually a God and people believed and followed what their Supreme Being leader preached, the naked would be clothed, the hungry fed, the homeless sheltered. By extension since there is still rampant need in the world “God Believers” do not do the very things their god demands of them. They lie and think they do good by utterances of prayer and thoughts.If they lie then their beliefs are a lie.

I spent the years just before retirement reducing my minor presence, cutting back on articles, talks and interviews. Since I retired I do my best to make sure my name never appears anywhere, with the goal of fading anonymously back into the dust at the end.

Shouldn’t that guy have orange hair?

Love it!

The great fear/nightmare of the one percent.

When did Pete upgrade from his book to an IT-System?

At least Pete hasn’t strapped him to the stone and dropped him for the sin of pride…yet.

And I’ll bet you got those awards on the backs of a whole lotta other people. . .

Matthew 6:1Giving to the Needy“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.

Classic “don’t you know who I am?” stance!

Just about everyone who has a Near Death Experience has what they call a Life Review. They see from all sides the events of their life. If you kill someone, you see that through their eyes and the eyes of their loved ones. If you do loving actions, you see the effects of those too. You are the “judge” but there is no judgement. And it’s reported that beyond the veil there is only Love, permeating everything.

There is a story of a police office stopping a young man who was driving a very expensive car. The driver yelled at the officer “Do you know who my father is!?!” to which the officer replied “Did your mother not know?”

Gee, this is EXACTLY what will happen when a certain Fat Orange LOSER makes it to the Pearly Gates… before being directed to the DOWN Escalator where all his fans will be waiting at the bottom to cheer him. Only THIS TIME he won’t have to PAY ACTORS to pretend that they like him, like he did the LAST TIME he came down an escalator.

I have yet to see that whole “Do you know who I am?” thing get anyone anything but a bigger ration of sh1t. However, it never seems to stop anyone from saying it.

The toon seems to be more about the legacy value of “greatness” than the existence of a final judge. I get it. I’ve always questioned the greatness of Alexander the Great. He left his home kingdom to spend the rest of his life doing war so he could move to Egypt and die. What did all that do for the people he left behind in Macedonia? He is as all of us shall be dust and maybe some bone.

…sheep and goats.

And the guy will be in hell because he can’t accomplish anything. That’s what hell is.

I know who he is.he’s the guy who copied off my test in the fifth grade.

And the first shall be last. Interesting concept.

The worldly awards hardly cut ice here, fella. No favors, bribes, nepotism, caste, creed or race.

I can’t wait to say, “No, really officer, do you know who I am? ‘Cause I don’t remember!”

I’m of an age where I can get away with this, and who knows, it may become real…

Mythology is amusing as literature but a really poor guide to reality.

I’m pretty confident I’m returning to the dirt from wence I came, I only hope someone will grow some nice plants in me

He’d probably do better hoping St Peter doesn’t know who he is.

Some more equal than others? Just shove into the line-wherever.

Ego like this ruins everything it touches.

That must be Donald J. Trump, Sr.

And he’s on the next bus south.

just remember God is watching

Omniscience is omniscience.

That guy never learned, that people like you better when you’re humble. I’m humble and everybody likes me. Humility, I recommend it.

That was quite a wasted effort for him to haul that monument up there for St. Peter to see it. Now he’s shot down for lack of humility.

“Yes, I know exactly who you WERE. Too bad for you.”

I’m hoping Wiley meant Eternal…Waiting Room to also be viewed as this Chump’s eternal condition.
