Pickles by Brian Crane for March 17, 2024

If you cross out the untrue parts, you’ll be left with a book of truths.

Welp…guess grampa’s in trouble again.

Now ask Grandpa why he highlighted Song of Solomon.

Priceless!

Dang.

You better cover your face with the newspaper Earl!

That’s why she put an X over his face in their wedding picture.

I think he nailed it.

If everyone crossed out the parts they don’t like, it would become ‘the condensed version.’

She would counter by saying Earl is like Samson: He has the jawbone of an a$$.

From the Book of Generous to the Book of Revolutions!!

There’s a Proverb for This!!

It won’t work, Earl…she can still see you!

Timothy 2:12 – “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.”.

Ephesians 5:25-Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

Two Democrats

That’s what Jefferson did. He took out all the miracles of Jesus and anything that pointed directly that Jesus was divine.

Kinda hard to cross out things with a yellow marker.

it’s cherrypicking anyway

Earl in trouble? He is never out of trouble.

Thomas Jefferson did this first.

Earl is cruising for a bruising….LOL

Here is the book that tells me I am better than the rest of you.

Nelson hangs around with adults too much, which is why he catches the things he shouldn’t repeat (and should (soundly) be told to keep to himself!)

LOL!!!

“Oh…….. is that SO”

Grammar about th gain some highlights.

She must be an evangelical.

Awesome. I wonder if I’ll ever get the chance to use this.

Attaboy Earl……..nah, not this time!

My grandma did that to remember what passages were important to her. She was an Alacarte christian.

Like the Jefferson Bible

We’re going to need another gallon of highlighter.

Earl is probably rights.

Based on many responses to the cartoon, it is obvious that there are a great many butthurt religious types who have NO sense of humor.

Hey! That’s the Devil’s job.

That would take too many black markers…..

“RUN EARL!!”

If Grandpa don’t watch out he will get a line drawn through him!

Some folks do that apparently

Gonna have to violate that book of fairie tales today. Having a cheeseburger for lunch in my cotton-wool shirt with a milkshake to wash it down. And cioppino for dinner tonight.

99% of everyone ignore the parts they don’t like.

Assuming there IS a god, which I doubt, I wish She would protect me from all the readers of just ONE book.

Just hiding behind his newspaper.

I feel sorry for those of you who have had a bad experience with religion, religious zealots, etc.. All I can say is that churches and religions are made up of imperfect people, which we ALL are. If you’re seeking God, pray to him and be honest with him about your thoughts and feelings. He’ll answer you in some way. As far as churches go, try to find one that preaches what the Bible says, not what some person says.

As usual, the “full” Sunday comic for the “funny papers” is available HERE…just scroll down https://www.facebook.Com/picklescomic/

Man, I think that book is a bunch of fairy tails with morality that is questionable.

I am more or less a secular, left Democrat, pro-universal health care, anti-US militarism Jew extremely critical of Israel who has felt concern many times over the views expressed by Christians and their leaders and is a bit horrified by evangelical support for the Occupation. But I feel that many remarks here are kind of unkind toward Christians. We’re all human, all flawed, and each group has its, umm.. this and that ;)
