Bloom County by Berkeley Breathed for October 10, 2023

You hear about an eye for eye and a tooth for a tooth all the time. You never hear about a hug for a hug, love for love, respect for respect, gratitude for gratitude. You get what you give.

Everyone has their own little parts of the Bible they like to preach on, while totally ignoring the rest, such as forgiveness, love, etc..

I like the hairdressing advice, in Ezekiel and 1 Corinthians.

The Devil may quote scripture to his own purpose.

Ah, yes…the ol “spare the rod, spoil the child” ploy. Where you, an adult, can beat on your child and just say it’s ok because it is in Proverbs 22:15.

Just stone him and be done with it.

Disagree with the “pastor” and get beaten. Sounds Christian to me.

One of the great things about the Bible, and for that matter about most if not all religious texts, is that they can be used to justify just about any malicious and cruel intent.

Rods of Correction. That’s what they’re calling rockets and missiles in the Middle East now

Man, the Old Testament version of god is WAY more intense….

Tom, confronted by his weird son Michael yet again, is currently caught up in a lifeway that justifies corporal punishment.

In the case of Young Binkley, one is tempted to accede. That kid is so full of himself!
