Gary Varvel for January 21, 2019

Who said anything dangerous? Criticism isn’t dangerous to an American OR to a Christian. And one can debate whether a school that discriminates against some children is truly living the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

Those who label themselves “True Christians” or “True Americans” are truly not.

Is that “Christian” like Suburban Baptist Church and School on County Line Rd, Indianapolis, which won’t honor the Martin Luther King celebration, since “it doesn’t speak to our parents?”

fusilier, who knows some Perry Township special ed teachers

James 2:24

Being Christian shouldn’t involve the exclusion and damnation of so many other people…

Sadly, the “Christians” have always been violent aggressors. Not only did they attack and kill Jews and pagans in their own temples but the Paulists also murdered other early Christian sects to gain dominance of the growing religion. The only early church to survive to my knowledge are the Coptic Christians who, as true Egyptians, are persecuted in their own country today. The murder and rape of people forced to convert is a well documented history of the Christian Church so it is not surprising in a secular and democratic society that people begin to push back against such behavior.

I Know Gary America is SO unfair to White Christian Men. It’s So unfair that the boy scouts have to accept girls. It’s So unfair that the Mormon Church has been forced to accept Black People. Its So unfair that Catholic schools were forced to admit Jews ( the Christ Killers) It so Unfair that Christian Schools are forced to accept the children of Lesbians.

Such delicate little snowflakes.

As an American Citizen, the Vice President has the Constitutional right to hold and to act on whatever views he wishes as long as he doesn’t tread on the rights of others. However we, American Citizens, likewise, have the right, indeed the duty, to not vote for him and to disagree with the way he defiles civility. Indeed, we are compelled to exercise our Constitutional right to call him out and expose the way his hateful attitudes degrade the fabric of American values.

Varvel is rapidly approaching membership in that exclusive company of Gocomics cartoonists: Lester, Gorrell, Stiglich, Payne, etc. I understand their problem is desperation at finding rational topics to fit an irrational philosophy, but it’s a sad attempt to escape from reality.

Thoughts and Prayers Gary. That’s what you offer to those who work in non-Christian schools so it should be good enough for you.

It’s not a Christian school. It’s a school of people who mouth the name “Jesus” while imitating the Pharisees that Jesus condemned.

If you really believe in Christ, then how do you explain your hypocrisy? Your president and your ‘conservative’ movement are at obvious odds with what your bible teaches. Your Christianity is nothing but a cash cow. Je$u$ Chri$t. Worse than a fairy tale.

What do christians like Pence expect from normal society? They opt for 14th century religious indoctrination (“christian education”) with all of the racism, bigotry, misogyny, homophobia and transphobia that goes along with it, for children, instead of a 21st century education that will prepare them for a successful and productive, happy future for them and their children. Just to maintain a centuries-old dogmatic superstition.

This is pretty insulting to the memory of those early Christians who were murdered for their refusal to accept a political ruler as a god.

Of course, 250 years after Nero, a political leader made their god THE God, and they started persecuting non-believers.

Why must you remind me you’re a Christian? It should be evident in how you live . . .and judge.

Only to those who offer themselves up as bigots.

The problem is that she works in an unChristian school that rejects Christ’s teachings about love and forgiveness, not to mention that, given the number of stones they cast, that believe they are themselves without sin. Pharisees.

Hating and discriminating against people just because they are of a different sexuality is something that is worthy of being “thrown to the lions”. If you legalize discrimination against homosexuality, you shouldn’t be surprised when liberals (who believe in the equal rights of all human beings) will not like you.

Aw, Dolores Umbridge is upset that people don’t like it when she supplements “praying away the gay” with electroshock therapy, and outright rejects anyone who won’t live up to teaching of things Jesus never mentioned. My Thoughts-n-Prayers™ can be found in the period at the end of this sentence

Hey Varvel, Hey, Mr. and Mrs. Pence!

Welcome to America, you elitist, pampered, mid-western WASPs!

Guess what? What you’re feeling, that uncomfortable, “I’m not welcome feeling”? That’s what it’s like for MANY millions of Americans because of people like YOU!

How’s it feel for a change? To be the one ‘different’? To be ‘other’? To be ‘unwelcome’? To feel like this is not your home, even though you’ve always lived here.

You’d better get ready, Mikey and Mommy, this is how it’s going to be for you from now on. That MAGA crap? It isn’t going to work. The genie is out the bottle and his skin is NOT white, and he’s NOT going back in.

So now’s the time to decide, Pence’s. (And Mr. Varvel) Are you going to fight it and lose? I don’t recommend this choice. You will lose. America only goes in one direction, forward. All you do is slow things down. You try to fight America, you are going to lose.

Or are you going to tolerate it, accept it, maybe even, welcome it? Maybe it’s possible, you could change. You could actually let your Christian god into your hearts and not merely on your lips.

Remember, what you feel is FEAR. And people live in fear of you every single day. It is time for you to get with the program and get on board the train. Otherwise the train is going to run over your hateful, homophobic ass. Toot, toot!

Sorry people it is a PRIVATE not public school. NO one is being forced to go there, they go there because it provides a excellent academic education. If you don’t like their policies you don’t have to go there. Amazing that Fundamental Muslim schools in the USA don’t receive the same degree of hate from the left, are they a protected group? Or does the MEDIA just have a agenda? I wonder how many parents of minority students would jump at the chance to get a voucher that would allow them to pull their child out of inner city public schools and send them to a religious school.

I’m fine with you believing crap. But I’m absolutely not fine with you teaching crap to people who are going to grow up and have to make decisions. Fortunately, she’s only going to be teaching art. I look forward to the “art” exhibitions from that school: Crucifixes and guy’s with their big red heart exposed.

The Republicans cheer when the right wing lions chew up the lgbt, the left and the media.

Those LBGTQ people are so intolerant of Pence’s intolerance.

Forgiveness is not a practice of the present Evangelical churches.

“People said things we don’t like. This is EXACTLY like being fed to the lions in Ancient Rome!”

I think we’re getting near the Platonic ideal of martyrbation.

His relationship with “mother”, makes me think he might be Norman Bates.

Stop replying to Alwayswrong. Just don’t do it. If you want to address him, do it in a separate comment.

So Gary, how many people have ever been killed because they worked in a Christian school in America? I bet the number is a whole lot lower than the number of people who have been killed for being LGBT.

Stop your execrable projection!

As many comments and arguments that are about this comic. Opinions stick out. Opinions are a person’s thought and or feelings about an event or something else. People must realize you must respect them. I thought this was needed to be said. Thank you for reading and have a nice day.
