At its heart, Pearls Before Swine is the comic strip tale of two friends: an arrogant Rat who thinks he knows it all and a slow-witted Pig who doesn't know any better. Together, this pair offers caustic commentary on humanity's quest for the unattainable. Dilbert cartoonist Scott Adams says that Pearls is "one of the few comics that make me laugh out loud." The strip has twice won the National Cartoonists Society's Reuben division award for Best Newspaper Comic Strip – in 2003 and in 2006.

I would’ve had an …ology in lethargy but I couldn’t be bothered to turn up for the exam.

Odd – I’d just decided I’d skip my exercise routine today. Don’t you hate when G*d speaks to you through a comic strip?!. . ..

I’d be more concerned about God speaking to you about being afraid to write God in your comments!

They should have evening classes in lethargy in Malta. I could be a teacher because I have a masters degree

Admirably open-minded of you, Goat.
Was that Pig ironically shouting the final exhortation from offstage left?

That’s a Jewish custom.

They should start an “occupy the couch” movement to protest laziness.

A Jewish custom of not fully writing the word God? I find that extremely dubious. But not being a Jew, Orthodox or otherwise I don’t know for sure, but I still find it rather disrespectful and therefore doubt the Jewish faith exercises that “custom”

That was exactly my thought. I am never afraid to praise God in his glory, nor to profess my faith in the Almighty. However I do not trot it out in my business because in my experience all of the “Christian” businesses around here are run by crooks. On the other hand almost all of the ethical and honest businesses are run by Christians.

A thought for today to emphasize your point,
Book of Luke, 11:33 – No man, when he hath lighted a candle, putteth it in a secret place, neither under a bushel, but on a candlestick, that they which come in may see the light.
.
That means, when you believe in God, when you write about God, you spell the Lord’s name in full, not with a placeholder. Anything less is disrespectful. One might say blasphemous.

“%@&!” is the way Rat spells it out.
