I'm a big fan of "Peanuts", "Pearls Before Swine", and "Calvin and Hobbes". I love Snoopy's positive outlook on life and Hobbes' affinity for smooching and babes. :-)

    Also, as several others have said, the verse says the love of money. Money itself is neutral. It’s what man does with it that determines whether it is used for good or bad or deceptive practices.

    For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows. - 1st Timothy 6:10

    Money goes to church staffing, ministries, and building needs. It is right and proper that church members help support the church’s ministries. My father was a pastor and the vast majority of money collected was spent on building and ministry needs. The trustees decided the budget and my dad was far from rolling in the dough. Our family had a lower middle-class living at best. (Mom also worked outside the home.) Collecting tithes and offerings (i.e., asking for donations) is a biblical practice, and is especially to be expected when the government stops requiring taxes to fund specific churches. (To be clear: in regards to funding, I support the separation of church and state. Monetarily supporting a church should be up to the individual, not forced.) Merely “asking” for donations should not imply that churches collect money because they’re guilty of loving it too much. Do all people who collect paychecks and use money “love” money too much? Of course not. Neither do all churches. Money is a necessity in this world, whether we are talking about personal use or church use. Some people and churches fall into the trap of abusing monetary gain. But most churches do not.

    Then, just read on. I’m a fan of this comic. I doubt that my lone comment keeps people from laughing at the humor.

    It was a step in the right direction and it would lead to the realization that all should be included in that statement. At the time, governments in Europe had the power to limit “rights” of the common man. Kings and government bodies could pass laws to the detriment of their subjects and claim “the divine right of kings” as their authority to do so. The Magna Carta was a step along the way to limiting this power and recognizing the rights of the common man but English kings still abused their power. The Declaration of Independence laid down another step in governmental authority: that rights are not bestowed by the government, but by their Creator. A good and just government merely protects these rights and since the rights are sacred and inherent, the government cannot take them away. That is the basis for rebelling against a government that tries to take them away. “Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God.” As Jefferson wrote these words - “all men are created equal” - he knew that he was opening the door to a new way of viewing “freedom.” But he believed it was an enlightened way of thinking and the right thing to do. As conflicted as he was, especially in regards to slavery, he admitted that this meant chattel slavery had to go. They discussed this at the convention and the 27th grievance against the King had to be struck from the document in order to ensure Southern support for the Declaration. Not all agreed that the 27th grievance should be deleted but our Independence was at stake so a compromise had to be made. They were still under the hierarchy of legal classes of Europe, yet they were open to trying a new way in order to level the playing field. A government does not have the authority to take away or limit the rights of the people on a whim.

    I totally agree.

    John was not even at the Constitutional Convention. Regardless, this was not a meeting of the Continental Congress and George Washington was not at the signing of the Declaration. I understand people making a joke. Historically, however, the two situations were not the same.
