Gary…wish you and your fellow editorial cartoonists would ask this site to stop calling your works comics. How about saying “THERE ARE NO COMMENTS ON THIS PANEL.”
As BHO said, once again we are victims of senseless gun violence.
These people were murdered specifically because they were BLACK, not “Christian”. Hopefully the victims will find peace in another life, but it ain’t going to be sitting on a cloud with Jesus. Karma offers more promise.
God bless Gary Varvel.-Each of the murdered 9 persons were members of a Christian church. -The age 21 killer was a drug addict, was a victim of Satan’s Racism Lies, and may have been into some occult teaching.-If churches would only begin to be sure they have armed security for open public meetings, the statistics show that where local legal conceal/carry laws are instituted, the gun crime rate drops. Even the Pilgrims had sense enough to come to a new world bearing defensive arms.-I do not know what the yellow sash represents to the artist, but my first thought was what Jesus taught….do unto others as you would have them do unto you….the Golden Rule.Those church members had received the killer with open arms for the Bible study. But the killer listened only to Satan’s inspiration to Kill, Kill, Kill. -Tom is correct, blacks killing blacks by the dozens in cities such as Chicago, is ignored by the MSM and ignored by President Obama. This story went from minute one to top news on every channel. It is hypocrisy. Especially when the president immediately jumped on “gun control”…meaning keeping citizens from legally having defense weapons, and the criminals having all the illegal guns they want! One man with a loaded gun in that Wednesday night church meeting could have prevented at least some of the 9 murders.
Jesus defends His believers from being killed by evil persons until we fulfill His plan for us to be here on earth in our physical bodies. Then Jesus takes our soul/spirit into Heaven to await the Resurrection where our soul/spirit unites with our raised and perfected body for life in eternity.-President Obama erred seriously when he claimed that nowhere else do these mass killings take place as they do in the USA.-He should read the Dept. of State 2013/2014 statistics of mass murders worldwide…see this report:http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2015/06/19/terror-report-attacks-soared-in-2014-as-isis-boko-haram-unleashed-violence/?intcmp=latestnews-Islamic State and Boko Haram attacks on innocents in churches, mosques, synagogues and elsewhere nearly doubled deaths and nearly tripled kidnappings in 2014.-2014: deaths in global terrorism’s 13,500 attacks went up to about 33,000. Higher than 2013’s 10,000 attacks and 18,000 deaths. In 95 nations in 2014, terror attacks took lives and there was an increase in abductions of innocent children and others. -Sin in the character of humans since Adam’s fall from God’s Grace, caused hate and murder and Cain’s murder of his brother Abel was the first human murder. But today we have millions of killers on the loose on earth. God’s Closing Day is nearly due, and God is Justified in finally bringing His Wrath to stop mankind’s out of control evil.
http://thefederalist.com/2015/06/18/actually-president-obama-mass-killings-arent-uncommon-in-other-countries/-Exellent article 6/18/15 written by the Senior Editor at The Federalist, pointing out proven FACTS to show that President Obama is wrong every time he opens his mouth to preach “Gun Control” which means law-abiding Citizen Control. (The First “to do” on every Totalitarian’s List is to disarm the law-abiding subjects in the Realm!)- Also President Obama is wrong on the USA being the only country with mass killers in action.-Citizens with no legal weapons have ZERO defense against being mugged, injured, or killed by criminal law-breakers, even when it is the Government that is controlled by Evil Leaders….Stalin, Lenin, Hitler, Mao tse Tung or Castro!
Hiram Bingham said, 14 minutes ago…“Ah, so it was Jesus’ plan all along for those people to be killed then and there, so Roof was doing God’s Will by killing them. So how can this be wrong now?”-God has allowed murder ever since Cain slew Abel, as I already posted. God allowed evil men to crucify God the Son. Sin is Sin and every human has a Sin Account. God uses evil actions by sinners in His Plan to redeem repentant sinners, but those who chose to do evil must either seek God’s forgiveness, or pay for the lifetime of SIN themselves!-No, Hiram, there is no excuse for any human for deliberately committing what God named as Sin from the beginning of the race of Mankind. Even all of us who asked for God’s forgiveness and His “covering” our sins so that we can fellowship with the Most Holy God, all those Sins were “paid for” by Jesus voluntarily taking those sins on Himself. (the only salvation plan in the Universe….free will to choose Jesus as Savior or choose to join Satan in the Lake of Fire forever).-God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit never “planned to kill” innocent victims of evil men…..but God permits evil to be done and offers all humans His solution….willing worshippers of God who “paid our full balance of debt to our Creator” and gives us eternal life in return.
Nothing describes insanity like worshipping a “supreme being” that can’t possibly be one, if it will destroy its own creation, because of “error”. Making “God” fallable is just an excuse for your own insecurities and ignorance.
