What bloke names their horse Becoming An Atheist?

@Number Three Today’s strip is patethic who would name a racehorse “becoming an atheist”? but at least the medling Cleric has been made to look foolish by our HERO Mr Andrew Capp :o) my avatar is a spoof about a doormat having go away instead of welcome , where can I get one of them to keep scammers , candidates for our next general election, door to door salespersons and religious freaks? , how was your day? our Finally Friday should be busy but calm I hope we have already done our bulk shopping , both are in a good mood and I have found out who that Lady I caught on my CCTV cam was a friend and she was NOT giving me the finger just waving well I can just chill till this afternoon and have my modified fav nosh, keep safe and thanks for caring young Lady

Anyone not see that one coming?

He won by a nose over Hell Bent For Leather.

I always liked “Auld Reekie” as a good race horse name!!

And Fly Swatter won by a wing and a prayer.

A bleeding idiot!

Again, it’s odd how he wins at the OTB, but not at the track when Florrie is with him.

….“Oh…well..alright then.” ;o]

BUT, there are no atheists in turtle races.

Not funny… Scraping the bottom of the barrel… Thank God for Eldo!

True story. In Australia in the 1980’s, a race was run including three horses named ‘Ring the bell’, ‘Rings a bell’ and ‘Ring a ding’. Those three ran first towards the finish line. The race callers call has become a legend in racecalling folklore here.

foaled by Losing My Religion, perhaps?

There are some pretty goofy names for racehorses. How about Bill or George or even Sue?

The Place horse in that race was Agnostic Al and the Show Horse was I’m a Believer!

That’s his story and he’s stickin’ to it, around the Vicar.

The long-awaited (by nobody) return of vaudeville……

Still kind of blasphemous!

I hear there’s a new dial a prayer for atheist. You call, but nobody answers.

I’m not an atheist but not a Christian either. In fact when I fill out forms or do online surveys and it asks what religion I follow, I just select “No religion”

As for my sexual orientation, I select “heterosexual” even though I’ve recently come out as Asexual. I just never knew that what I was feeling for all those years about s-e-x had a name.

@Afficionado

I’m glad that has been cleared up regarding the woman on your CCTV. If I happen to be passing your street, I shall give you a little wave too.

Ha! As if I’ll be jetting off to Malta any time soon.

Me and Auntie went to bingo today but we didn’t win. I couldn’t sit at the same table as her. I actually had to sit with my back to her but at least I could lean over and chat with her during the break.

Stay safe, stay well and stay happy, pal. Enjoy your modified favourite nosh. See you after the weekend.

Now the vicar has to worry that the name of the horse will lead Andy down the wrong path, in addition to already worrying about his sinful gambling habit.

I don’t know what’s weirder, that someone would give a horse that name, or that Andy actually won a bet.

Starts out brilliantly, but fades in the stretch.
