The Argyle Sweater by Scott Hilburn for August 04, 2018

Blessed are the pencils and the artistically challenged, for they have created the stick figures.

Remember, son…. He Who created you can also erase you.

the one who lead us down the garden path ?

He’s lead by the Creator and he has quite a point there!

The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away.

I’ll pencil in an appointment.

Bet he believes in No 2 Pencilection.

I didn’t say I don’t believe in a creator, I’m an Inkthiest. I don’t believe in the eraser.

From graphite you come, to graphite you shall return.

The #2 Church of the Ticonderoga.

This religion must be polytheist. https://fee.org/resources/i-pencil/

“I do not feel obliged to believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use.” – Galileo Galilei

Now this is an ‘intelligent design’ I can believe in! (Well, maybe not that intelligent – those Sims™ look like they were made by a grade schooler)

I feel drawn to this religion.

Is the creator also a ruler?

Golf balls?…….marshmallows?……what are they?

That is a problem when the intellect is put to greater use as an analytical engine instead of one of a blind devotion to ideas.

“It’s not that I don’t believe. I just think our Creator needs to work on his technique is all I’m sayin’.”

Aren’t any of his friends going to stick up for him?

Nah – someone just put a bunch of graphite, cedar wood, rubber and wood pulp in a box, blew it up, and here we are!

It took a while, but I finally get the point.
