You lost him?? Are you sure he isn’t hiding out in a cave in Pakistan – or for that matter, a small mansion? XDAlso gives me a kick that this strip called: B. (before) C. (Christ). Makes me wish he’d done some strip about the conversion of the Pagan masses in the Dark Age, but there, no way to avoid barbarism in THAT I guess – so back to the peaceful, if anachronistic, setting in some alternate-universe time warp seen only on this plant ever by Johny Hart (plus whoever has, woefully, taken over his pen – most regrettable…)
Kind of a self-righteous thing to say sandfan. Funny how the atheists are almost always looking into a mirror and seeing the enemy and thinking it’s someone else. ;-)
Thanks for mentioning Christ today, Mark. Even evangelicals have long seen the humor in that discarded “found” opening. Stop by a real church with an open mind some day and maybe you’ll get to know him.
Send them to Scary Gary’s house. Leopold will take care of them.And am I the only one who saw this and thought of Book of Mormon? (The musical, not the book.)
Sadly, this strip is now dated since the heirs of Johnny Hart’s BC have pretty much done away with the Christian slant that Hart had going. Still — nice to see that Lio’s afraid of something.
Why? I really don’t understand why “Jesus” has to be brought into a comic strip. I am a huge Lio fan! I would realy like to know what was behind Mark’s thought process for this comic. Has he asked Jesus into his heart and is showing this through Lio? All of the comments that poke fun at Jesus are so unnecessary. We all die – we all go to one of two places – Heaven or Hell – I know where I am going without a shadow of a doubt, Heaven! Where are you going?
cleo: in point of fact he IS what you’ve been looking for. You just don’t know it yet. Revise Savage Garden. You knew you loved him before you met him…
Hey, Mr. Tatulli! Very cute. This comic is super ironic And very symbolic The poor alcoholic Sometimes does not see The pull of dictators Who always must be RIGHT! above others.The humorist takes Discomfort we share and of that bond makes “us” laugh without care.Sorry about the others.
For educational purposes, kids: jws and Mormans are NOT Christian groups, are recognized as cults and do not want you to meet Jesus. One wants to introduce Satan’s bro (ms) and the other wants you to meet a created being on a par with angels as well (jws). Sad thing is that they work hard at being the door knocking public face while legit churches have taken to huddling around flag poles and trying to elect Pharisees,
You tell ‘em, freeholder! While we’re at it, let’s not forget that Christians are just a messianic/apocalyptic cult of Judaism, who not only want you to believe that the One God has a begotten son who is also (somehow) God, but that this isn’t polytheism. How long have Catholics and Protestants been willing to acknowledge mutual Christianity? 100 years or so? What about the Catholic Church and the Orthodox Church(es)? So many heretics, so little time…
I mostly get Baptists, I may have scared the Jovies away with the biblical definition of false prophets as anything short of 100% accuracy, & the biblical resolution (stoning). Heresy is a useful weapon against thumpers, if you know the book better than they do.
I just love people who tell me I’m going to burn in hell for all eternity when they find out that I am not born again.That may be the only thing they know about me, but it doesn’t matter. I am doomed in their eyes because I don’t share their superstitions. Insanity. I’d be willing to bet that I live a more moral life than 95% of those who have told me I will burn.
Jared: try reading the REAL Bible. Do you truly think Satan ad Jesus are brothers? Do You really believe Joe Smith is going to sit in judgment of everyone along with Jesus and God/ Do you really believe you will get a planet to rule when you come back? Are you praying for your long dead ancestors to be saved in the hereafter something the Bible clearly denies along with everything i mentioned above? you need to read all your churches beliefs. Try The Kingdom of the Cults. It’s in bookstores or you can order one. If you don’t believe me ask you church elders if these are all true. Try thinking of the part where some say “Lord, Lord” and he says ,“Away from me, I never knew ye.”
Sandfan: so what? The devil believes in God and we know where he’s going. You might try Islam. They believe you only need to be 51% saved to make their heaven. you’re still going to eternal dying, but you’ll feel good about yourself all the way. Christianity says one sin outweighs all the good unless someone accepts the cover of the blood. Think of it as the real Christmas gift you never opened because you read bad things about it on the net and didn’t like the other kids who had it.
Sorry to tell the truth, Fritz. Yeah, a lot of division from the Church becoming an institution. Like our Israelite cousins when they cried to Moses to be a buffer between them and God, people over the ages have chosen to hide in institutions and give their minds to overlords, called Priests, and not think, just follow the rituals. Protestantism began tom break the idea and it took the American experiment to take it most of the way home.The isms and ist are being shaken.Not following the Spirit and it’s written truth was divisive even in Paul’s time. I choose to see the current calling of folks back to more open forums as the next and perhaps last step into relational training instead of dogmas. (And the current pope recently issued a statement that the Catholic church is the only true church, so I guess you missed that as well. Hard to let go of reins that give you that kind of power.) Unfortunately, If you don’t tell people there are wolves in sheep’s clothing, you let them be eaten and spiritually lost. And I don’t see it as love to allow your brother to be deceived.

Evangelicals often ask if you’ve found Jesus because they’ve misplaced Him. Meanwhile, “In God We Trust” takes His place.
