Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis for June 09, 2014
Transcript:
Priest: Hello, Rat. Sorry to bother you at home, but I haven't seen you in church in quite a while. Is there a reason for that? Rat: It's the basket you pass. It makes me feel guilty. Priest: Not putting money in the church basket is no reason to feel guilty. Rat: I take cash out of it. Priest: Please don't steal church money. Rat: I saw it as a gift from God.
As a christian, I’m going to try to give this a positive spin: On one hand, Rat not going to church, and its discovered that he was stealing from church. On the other hand, he was stealing from church, made a point to remove himself from that temptation, and when pressed, honestly admitted to his crime.When you factor in what Rat is like normally… well, I’m putting this down as a win for the god team.
