Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 30, 2024

Both chimpanzees and macaque monkeys have fought wars.

Yeah, right.

All the more reason for the rest on the seventh day.

Mrs. Almighty ! Mrs. God Almighty !! Ms. God !!!

Just because you can do anything, does not mean you can do it well or intelligently.

Whether allegorical or not, apparently humans chose to understand the difference between good and evil (I sometimes wonder if it’s just an allusion to evolving).

The only way to do know that difference is to experience evil.

I don’t think I’ll “get it” while in this body and find some comfort in my faith that says there’s another incarnation coming.

And instead of being a blind man describing the elephant,

hopefully, with sufficient gray matter (or the equivalent) to see the big picture

And chimpanzees commit murder, infanticide, and other horrors.

And where is Mrs. Almighty now? Divorced? Dead?

For some reason this gag has me thinking that God’s parents must have been so happy with how He turned out. He is such a high achiever.

Behind every successful God is a Mrs. God, who provides the yin for his yang.

Nailed it.

Well, that’s one version of a ‘Creation Ms’

God. The most evil creation in the history of literature.

Robert Browning 1812–89. English poet. “Ah, but a man’s reach should exceed his grasp, Or what’s a heaven for?”

I guess we’re a disappointment to the deity

I saw a documentary stating that Neanderthals lasted about 500,000 years. They were more advanced than normally thought but they obviously were not very warlike till modern humans decided to get rid of them.

There is one ‘tweak’ I can think of that I wished he had skipped.

“Why did you put the tree there at all?”

It is possible that the Almighty is actually gender-neutral or nonbinary. In Exodus 3:13-15, Moses asks the name of God and is told “Yahweh,” [or English translation, “I am”]. The term “Yahweh” is a combination of both female and male grammatical endings. The first part of God’s name in Hebrew, “Yah,” is feminine, and the last part, “weh,” is masculine.

“Was”? What happened to her? We need her!

Maybe God shouldn’t have created opposable thumbs.

And Man created God in his own image and likeness.

Exactly what are we looking at on God’s work bench?

Have you ever really LOOKED at the apes?

That’s me and baking "This is really good buut . . . "

d**n monolith

“Asherah” was the name of God’s wife and Robert Graves believed she had a prominent place inside the Ark of the Covenant. She was not entirely edited out of the Old Testament. >

Good one! Don’t believe it but funny.

The Almighty PMS!!!

mallets??

“Thou shalt have no husband before Me”…..

My guess is God wanted more than what apes could provide, hence the tweak. Probably a narcissist

Religious humor, gee, what could go wrong! ;-)

Yep, nothing like giving your creation free will and then blaming it for exercising it.

“For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.” —Murphy’s Law, Corollary #101

Maybe Mrs. Almighty became Satan.

No marriage in Heaven thank God ….

She likely got fed up with his godsplaining and ran off with Lilith.

Then who was in charge of making the fjords?

The word from on high – from She Who Must Be Obeyed …

Mrs Rumpole took that word to heart!

Told you to design everything directly. But no! You had to use the evolution cheat code.

I like that the only tools are hammers.

It all went wrong when King Kong climbed the building

And Mrs. Almighty is calling us apes? Such a backhanded compliment. :P
