Wow, just when you think the combination Clown Show/Slow Motion Catastrophe in Washington CAN’T get any more bizarre, along comes Jabba the Hucksterbeast to up the insanity and sheer stupidity quotient!
Of course, people like Yertle the Traitor Turtle McConshell and “Ms.” Skeletor are doing their bit to help add to the general chaos as well.
“Free will” seems to be a delicate plant that grows only in the hothouse of theological gymnastics. What might be called “popular religion” has no use for it, it just makes it harder for God to get what he wants. (Inter alia, God comes across as a touch bloodthirsty, and he’s certainly a great kidder.)
If you substitute “Pharisees” for “Evangelicals,” you will have greater understanding of today’s politics. However, in life “Understanding” is the booby prize.
For the orthodox Calvinists, it all makes sense. If a Calvinist thinks s/he is predestined for something, it motivates him/er to achieve it. I learned this concept at Penn State years after I left Catholic school. So, the cartoon has more substance below the surface.

Hmmm… It sounds like “God” is a combination of Franklin Graham and Newt Gingrich.

God works: More like ‘haze’ than ‘Hayes’.

Their ‘god’ has horns and cloven feet and lives in a very hot place.

What Lemonade Lucy didn’t know was that RBH had spiked his glass with some Grant leftovers.

As all good Atheismists know: “the Bible was written and edited by Men”, just ask any Woman!

Now Pence is spouting off about God telling him he wants him to be president.

Remember when religious con artists used to threaten that God would call them home if we didn’t give them all our money? I used to think, “Bye-bye!”
