Matt Bors for December 21, 2011
Transcript:
The Reason For The Season On December 25, many fiscal years ago, God sent his only son to kickoff a holiday about going on unrestrained shopping sprees. The event was sponsered by Bed Bath & Beyond. Three seasonal hires swung down on their lunch breaks, bearing gifts. Young Man: I Phone! Woman: Guitar Hero! Middle Age Man: Grande peppermint mocha! Jesus preached a simple message: money is of little importance - so blow it all at a big box store! Jesus Christ: Follow me and you will have eternal savings! He even turned the sick and lame into healthy consumers. Jesus Christ: Wait 'til you see the difference between regular and HDTV! VISION

This would seem to be more accurate than what is babbled about in churches.

People, it is not the fault of the Church that secular humanist hijacked the holiday in the USA and other western cultures!

This comic speaks to my disdain for this “season.” Christianity is supposed to be a personal relationship with God the Father. What foolish people have made of it has nothing to do with what it’s supposed to be. Regarding Jesus’ message about money, he spoke continuously about its value under numerous circumstances. I doubt that Mr. Bors has any idea what Christ preached.

The foolish people were the early Christians that grafted their mythology on top of existing celebrations.

Now a small gift to show love, instead of “greed”, not a bad thing, it can even be a batch of cookies, or a kiss.
Merry Christmas from a “non practicing” Buddhist.

this cartoon is lame. He said money is of little worth and nothing but bad stuff about the rich.
