Mine would just have handed me a honey do list. In fact she would have started the list a year before I retired First on the list, sell the golf clubs, you won’t have time
Maybe that’s what she wanted too. As my father’s mother said, “For better or worse, but not for lunch.” With his plan he would be around all day, interfering with her life, and her woman friends.
At least on the faith’s side, humanity’s record “proves” that we, by nature, will to seek meaning along with intellectually satisfying answers (which is a science thing).
Lots of trouble in mixing the nature of the projects.
Let an atheist give you an example of faith: As I drive down the highways, it is a matter of faith for me that oncoming traffic will keep to its side of the road. And how many times a day around the world does this faith prove to be a vain hope?
I noted the publication date of 8/16 and wondered what the comment section focused on then. And I wonder what the comments will focus on if this is run again in 8/24. Great classic.
Well since I never took up chasing that little ball around, I’ll just have to continue working on founding the Native American Party/Religion. My other primary effort of building my own little piece of Heaven on Earth is an example of what we can achieve with the proper perspective.
One of the things the American Founding Fathers all agreed upon is that religion shouldn’t dictate to government or vice versa. Many of the people who arrived in the US during that period, including mine, came to escape religious persecution. Some like the Pilgrims promptly started persecuting everyone else, and government pushed back against religion elsewhere. The struggle between the two has been a major part of the American history.
Hit a small ball as far from you as you can, go find it, and hit it away again. If I want to throw a ball away and then get it back I’ll get a dog to fetch it for me.
Congrats for running this panel again from 10/9/16-that’s when I saw it first! And I still laugh my ass off! As a matter of fact I’ve been able to get it posted in both rest rooms at my local golf course-Wild Wings in Woodland, CA. My takes on golf, and I’m a very avid/rabid participant of the sport, even though I’m not very good(NCGA#26.5) are; “Golf is a combination dedication and sheer stupidity” and secondly; “No matter how good I may be doing, I’ll always find a way to muck it up”

Someone commented in Prickly City a few weeks ago, to the effect of:
Aliens are coming!
The good news: They have found solutions to global warming, pollution, poverty, hunger, and have a cure for the virus!
The bad news: They’re sending missionaries!

Faith is the only decision-making process that could possibly lead you to use faith as a decision-making process.

I heard that a lot of retired guys drinking beer on the golf course already figured out the answers to politics and religion.
braindead Premium Member over 4 years ago
We already HAVE a political party and religion rolled into one: The Republican* party is now a full blown religion with Trump as The Messiah.
Their dogma grows every time Trump lies.

My dear old man would have loved this strip today. Tomorrow is the second anniversary of his death. He really did enjoy his game of golf. :)

Isn’t golf already a religious political party?
docrucker Premium Member over 4 years ago
The political party and religion rolled into one has already happened in america, it’s called trumpism, and it does involve a lot of golf.

Indeed brilliant. So I vote for the religion of unlimited golf. Every day but Sunday, which is fishing day.

Just part of the “Man-ual”. Do things so badly that you don’t have to do it again or make a project so embarrassing that nobody wants you to do it.
I wish those tidbits weren’t passed on so readily from father to son.

Now that’s clever. I may have to try that line the next time I want to head out to the golf course …

Start a religion based on golf, some people already feel that it is and that way the fees are deductible
