Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for July 18, 2016

But we still have free will to change the channel. Don’t we?

So… we’re left with a conventional choice and a political will.

He should’ve folded.

“A pack of cards is the devil’s prayer-book.”

From Oh God Book III – George Burns plays both God and the Devil. At the end of the movie, the two play a poker game for Ted Wass’s soul. In the end, God forces the Devil to back down..The Devil: You bluffed? Why did I fold!?God: I put the fear of Me in you.

Time for OnDemand reruns.

Political pundits and social justice warriors. We’re doomed.

that’s a string bet, Satan.

No women involved. Must be true.

Fantasy is a drag.

You never heard “The Devil Wears Prada”?

Since both parties have already chosen their candidates, why do the networks even waste their time (and ours) covering the conventions? It’s just free advertising for the parties, which runs counter to the Free Market religion they both subscribe to—if they want advertising time, they should pay!

And yet I’ve often wondered if God deals from the bottom of the deck…….

I understand that security at the Republican National Convention is very tight; you can’t get in without a gun.

… why do the networks even waste their time (and ours) covering the conventions?It will waste your time only if you choose to tune in.

Ha!

The main question is when the break comes, where the decision is made that God has asked something unfair or imposed an unfair burden. Nobody in history ever asked this question. Instead there’s a presumption, if there is someone in power, resisting Him is right. However to fail to ask this question, shows there is no concept that power produces order, that a more powerful entity would be wise. Then the lesser entities, the created souls, would rise farther in their own powers and joys, insofar as they could perceive God and follow Him. The Satan concept presumes with power comes oppression. It is selfish desire that resists God. The person wants to do something God does not agree to be wise, good, or even beneficial to his soul. Such souls have not mastered themselves, their minds react to the senses. They have no greater presence, from above the senses, to say they will do what is right, that which tends to joy and power of all the souls. In other words here, Satan is a concept arising out of darkness, that the legends mention, but also weakness, which they did not mention.

So we should watch the convention because we know how it ends? :-)

Just remember, both Heaven and Hell are dictatorships.
