At least they’re not red circles and arrows.

If the grass is laying flat against the ground, I guess. But it usually just leans. Either way, this is outside the scope of my statement.

From the side, the blades obscure the dirt. Either that, or my neighbor’s grass really is greener.

I’m glad that, when I arbitrarily chose an instance to create an account on, I ended up on one that I agree with on this so much.

I don’t think it can really infect them if they didn’t know about the crime until recently. That being said, I understand your concern. Christians are meant to be built different, though. Jesus was a friend of sinners. We’re not assumed to be corrupted because we hung around someone who was corrupt.

The way my church’s denomination does it, when a pastor steps down, they pull in a new pastor from another church, which also alleviates this concern. I say this not to defend Gateway Church (their new pastor is the old pastor’s son,) but to demonstrate that not all churches have the problems you hear about.

It’s not just about good vs evil. It’s about love and forgiveness. That’s not to say pedophiles should get off scot free, because it’s also wisdom - it’s very unwise to keep a pedophile in a position where they have access to kids like that.

But I digress. If the org is imploded, all the churchgoers will have to find a new church, and many won’t bother. Unless the church has serious theological issues (which just about no church would think they do,) that wouldn’t be good. Instead, it’s possible to remove the bad apple and replace them with someone else. The way my church’s denomination does it, whenever a pastor steps down, the new pastor comes from another church, which helps to make sure there isn’t lasting corruption. From what I read about this one, the new pastor is the old pastor’s son, so…

Look for a bonnet. Wolves don’t wear bonnets.

Grass looks greener from the side than from directly above.

Looks like, based off a quick Wikipedia skim:

• The lead pastor resigned
• That’s a different guy preaching
• That’s about 30% of its normal attendance
• At least one person in the audience is there to take a picture and point out how many people are still there ; )

What do you expect, the church to completely dissolve? I wouldn’t be surprised if this church had some serious theological issues given its association with Trump, but one pastor, even the lead pastor, doing an evil doesn’t mean the whole church is faulty.

We do what we must because we can, for the good of all of us (except the ones who are dead.)

That’s a funny court case. Pepsi releases an ad where someone gets a fighter jet for 7,000,000 pepsi points. Someone finds they can be bought for $0.10 each, so buys that many pepsi points and asks for the jet. The court sides with Pepsi, because it’s ridiculous to think you’re getting a fighter jet for that, and afterwards Pepsi edits the commercial to make it 700,000,000 pepsi points instead.

Also Pepsi never cashed the check for the points, and they did add a “Just Kidding” disclaimer, but that wasn’t in the synopsis on Wikipedia. 700,000,000 pepsi points would cost almost double what the jet is valued at, so if someone did try the stunt again, they’d theoretically be able to get the jet to them. However, the Pentagon stated that the jet would have to be demilitarized, which includes removing its advertised feature of vertical takeoff and landing.

To be fair, they might think you’re sealioning.

Pfft, I knew that from Ben 10. (I didn’t, I just recognized it as a type of bug.)

I can have my moments of being that guy. “Obviously a Nazi” is less persuasive than “literally saying Jews should be eradicated” when it comes to believing they’re a Nazi.

Nah, it’s just an absurd scenario. Sometimes the curtains are just blue.

It’s called touching your toes. Look it up.

Seems like it’d be easier to explain why he seems like a Nazi (literally in uniform with a swastika armband and all) than to keep asserting that it’s obvious.

Also is that last panel supposed to be a Stonetoss face?

It very clearly says that marriage is okay.

But they’re naturally not us for some reason, right?
