    Yeah, we feel that way. Truth is never changeable, despite all who try to change it to suit their evil whims.

    I hope all my Christian brothers and sisters are praying and preparing themselves for the persecution that is sure to come when we refuse to alter the Truth to suit modern tastes

    If your Lord is a shepherd, what does that make you? If you realized, in reality, you ARE the environment, you couldn’t fabricate such horsesh!t thoughts about persecution or coming punishments.

    Being persecutied doesn’t make you right or rightous, just means someone doesn’t like you. It mite be what you say and do to others that makes them dislike you. And truth is an orphan !

    I find Mr Asay’s very selective view of history to justify what he believes (…”and of course it’s good for all of us”) kinda’ironic.

    And they were thankful to the lord and thee and thow gave thanks,because they were busy doing the lords work murdering the savage’s and the witchs and becoming sin free, and the LORD bless them.

    “…naive and inflexible…..unwilling to adapt to their environment…
    That’s kinda how we, on the religious right, feel now, huh, gramps?”

    Nailed it!

    Gramps?
    I thought it was a Mormon and two of his wives…

    that’s a good one, DH! tho’ Gramps looks a bit like a benign Carl Rove. If there could be such a thing.

    What is so ironic and sad is that the native peoples behaved with kindness and helped the Pilgrims survive and yet, the natives were viewed as godless and heathens and ultimately uprooted, betrayed and destroyed by these “peculiar people”. The religious right always sees others as against them, when, in actuality, they are the intolerant people who are quick to judge and condemn. I don’t know why I read this strip, it is so myopic.

    Yes, we agree that the religious right are the logical descendents of the Puritans. Not pictured: the panels between one and two, where the Puritans slaughtered those same Indians, burned people at the stake for being witches, and their ideological kindred hung black men from trees for trying to marry white women.

    Chuck, God watches over all of us, not just the Puritans. I am most thankful for the freedom NOT to practice the same claustrophobic fundamentalist religion as the “Religious Right.”

    Would wearing your religion so LOUDLY on your sleeve constitute Pride and therefore be a sin?

    Go ahead and be a Christian, but stop persecuting the rest of us?

    OMG!! Gay hooker screwing & meth addict Haggard coming back.

    Oh man the picture of him there is terrible. What a hideous toad of a man. Blech!

    That’s hilarious, Dale! I just finished reading “Under the Banner of Heaven” by Jon Krakauer. This is an expose of the Mormons, from the beginning, up until present times. These folks are stark raving looooonies!! Krakauer wrote “Into Thin Air” about the doomed exposition to Everest, and “Into the Wild” about the rich kid who left everything behind only to end up starving to death in an abandoned school bus in Alaska. This man can truly chronicle insane zealot behavior, and what it manifests. Great reading.

    I’d be thankful if they dealt some Pilgrim justice out on george.But i’ll still be thankful, this is his last thanksgiving. He’ll be gone, but his economy will linger on. This may be the last good meal we get. kinda like the last supper for the left, HUH gramps? It could be, honey.

    I read it several years ago, what an excellent book. I highly reccomend it. Joseph Smith was quite the snake oil salesman, wasn’t he?

    BTW – FYI the Pilgrims are not my ancestors nor would I want anything to do with them. They were VIOLENTLY anti-Catholic and were the precursors of later colonists who persecuted Catholics who came here. In short, they were a bunch of self-righteous bigots on a crusade. If you want to know what Catholics did in America, Google Catholic Martyrs and read about the priests who went to the Indians in kindness and many times were martyred.

    The “witch” burnings, and the christian burnings, and the lion devourings… all of it is very tragic. But if anybody ever NEEDED lynching, it was Joseph Smith!

    lalas, that pic of Haggard was taken years ago when he was featured in the documentary “Jesus Camp”… he tells a teenage minister his good looks will be an asset!

    You are all POSERS, you make worse historians than you do theologians. (See my comments here: http://www.gocomics.com/bensargent/2008/11/21/ ) A little fact of life happened to the N. A. continent - it was called the 16th and 17th century. The native peoples of N.A. had already had plenty of contact with the Western Europeans and were recipients of both good and bad. Remember Squanto - he was a real man who spent time in Europe. Why dont you all stop projecting your bigotted personal vendettas on people of the present and the past? And, Pilgrims weren’t any worse than pirates and the rapacious merchants from Europe who were already all over the coast. The Americans Indians were “victims” of unfortunate “fortune” - why dont you take a lesson from their example and give the God of eternity credit for something you have no credit due to you for and would have probalby acquitted yourselves with less grace and humility than the Pilgrims and Puritans if you had been in their shoes; as judging by the small-mindedness of these comments.

    Humphries - Now you sound like a ten year old. Why don’t you live life as it is , instead of hoping for utopia, friend?

    You do Humpty, you and all your dumpties - No matter what the question your answer is the right one “and please don’t let the door bang you on your a@@ on the way out!” That is Youtopia, the safest place to be. But, I must get back to burning my witch…

    I’m not native American but I feel the same is true today for the ‘true believers’. Most folks are hedging their bets ‘just in case’.

    I’ve just come in from beaten me wench. I seen her down by the lake talking to the devil, and boy am i hungry now! And when she’s done feeding me, she can bring in some more wood and get back on her knees and back to praying, and while she’s down there i”ll give her something else to do.

    Didn’t those pilgrims kill countless native americans through disease, murder countlessothers, and then send the survivors west on the trail of tears?

    FYI the Spanish had a 100+year head start on Anglos in South America and the SW of N America. Big difference they did not for the most part bring women.. Ergo interbreeding begat Latinos.
