Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for August 24, 2016

There can’t be any smiting for “heresy” if there’s no church of believers.

Just horse sense.

She won’t settle for rigidly defined areas of doubt and uncertainty.

present day churches don’t wait

Wiley is just pointing out the absurdity of all religious belief.

Any country club that would want me as I member of, I wouldn’t want to be a member. Julius Marx (also known as Groucho)

no, sounds like all religions, lol, my way or the highway.

Rational thought? From Danae? More like a mass of conflicting impulses.

At the time this arc was written, the faithful minions were attending the Republican National Convention.

Lot of smiting in the middle east.

Wow, Wiley… this sounds just like… Climate ChangeDecent and face attack, ridicule and ex-communication from the prophets of doom (including Mr. Miller).

I love a good smite ! I can’t remember the last time I had a good smote.

there is video of a trump support yelling that islam is not a religion, but an ideology.

There is an entire generation (or two) that think the definition of minions are dome-headed carton characters.

Hey Danae, feel better now that you got all that religious nothing out of your system? Lucy and Jeffrey can help you recover with some peaceful logical thought; we hope. We don’t need our sweet heart to get high blood pressure.

The Magic God Fairy is the human race’s greatest mistake.

Followers of Karl Marx tried to extinguish all religion and belief, and did so in the name of reason and science. We know how THAT turned out…

The current anti-religious theme in this strip is supposed to clever and enlightened, but it’s just obvious, heavy-handed and one-sided. If it refers to certain practices in organized religion, I’m for it. If it refers to all religious belief in general, then it’s short-sighted at best. Many of the greatest scientists in history believed wholeheartedly in God (Kepler, Galileo, Pascal, Newton, and Maxwell wrote most eloquently about it), as do many eminent scientists today.

It surprises me that Danae hasn’t drawn more followers.

Over the years of reading these posts, the most dogmatic have been the atheists, whose prime dogma is the self-refuting, “we are not a religion”. I find it strange no one notices that Danae’s crusades always start with what benefits Danae, and then builds a structure around it as support. This phenomenon characterizes far more than religion..ComicsLoverI have so far compiled a list of 38 individuals who made major scientific discoveries who were also clergy. I have undoubtedly missed a few, and that doesn’t include multitudes of scientists from the laity.

Please note: the word heresy starts with “her”.’nut said.

Science: a system of beliefs based on fact.

Religion: a system of beliefs based on faith.

To use one base to prove or disprove the beliefs of the other is an exercise in futility.

I didn’t know Daphnae came from Mecca.

Hey, it’s North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory speaking on behalf of the state legislature! No surprise running into him on the comics page.

Just like “Intelligent Design.” I’m so glad my parents covered all the bases with me…it allows me to be an anthropologist who does believe in God and I have no problem reconciling any of it. I also find it hard to deal with the nutty fanatics who insist their one way of thinking/believing is the only way.
