Today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “deeds,” is a Friday flashback from 12 years ago today.
I found the study to which Jesus refers; it’s reported in a 2014 paper in Science called “Morality in everyday life,” and you can read it for free.
As for the strip, it’s a good one.
“Christians aren’t perfect, just forgiven.”
In fact, the worse you are, the more important forgiveness is! Heads I win, tails you lose!
It’s apologetics, Jack.
There’s an adult “bookstore” along I80 in central Iowa – and the owner of the adjacent property has erected a gigantic cross nearby. I’ve always wanted to stick a sign on it that said “If you don’t sin, Jesus died for nothing”.
I’ve always thought a good answer to that bumper sticker thought would be “Atheists aren’t forgiven, just perfect.”
The Atheist Song
I’m an atheist and I’m OK
I eat my meals with no need to pray
(I still like hymns, the KJV, the stories of J.C.)
“What dreams may come” are zero
And that’s alright with me.
