Joan Denoo commented on mistercliff's blog post Shitty Miracles (the second): Jesus gets angry at a fig tree
"Boring! Some continue to discuss a silly story about a man who has a hissy fit over a fig tree that does not bear fruit out of season, as if it matters one twiddle.

"Not only does god have "all the manners and morals of a spoiled child," as Robert Heinlein put it, his son, apparently is demonstrably a chip off the old block ... head!"
K V Ramana commented on mistercliff's blog post Shitty Miracles (the second): Jesus gets angry at a fig tree
"If the fig tree is dried out by the curse of Jesus and his words have so power then instead of cursing to dry the fig tree, he can bless/tell the tree to produce fig fruits in unseasoned also. Further, instead of showing mercy Jesus shown cruelty.…"

Anyone know if there are law suits attempting to repeal the executive order? It's clearly unconstitutional."

I was excited to apply since I'm quite qualified for the position and it's always been something I wanted to do. There was a mention that I had to be able to work with "colleagues, resettlement partners, volunteers and Churches in the local community" but in my experience this shouldn't be any sort of problem since many people in churches are doing some…

An issue of my webcomic guest starring a certain Muslim prophet, goes online in some 24 hours. Am I nervous? Fuck yeah.
True, our readership is currently small and I don't expect anyone will even notice, but I am tense nevertheless. I'm glad we stuck to our guns and didn't fall into the trap of fear-induced self-censorship that so many others do. Still, if anyone ever says that Islam is a religion of peace, call bullshit on them. I never lost a minute of sleep over an issue…
