Why I'm a bit uncertain about Friday's cartoon

I’m a bit uncertain about Friday’s cartoon. I might have been a bit mean. Perhaps I’ll take it down. I wouldn’t make a very Old Testament prophet.

I wouldn’t make a very Old Testament prophet. Shouting and screaming at the people about the terrible judgement that is about to befall them, then going back the next day and telling them that I’d overstated the case somewhat.

I’m not sure. I think I’m turning into a mean horrible person. I even criticise TV adverts.

  1. I read the article in the student lounge the day it was published. And I thought, it’s the same stuff everyone’s been saying since the turn of the last century. Surprise, the Church of Rome are not a bunch of literalists.

    She was just fishing for attention, and that makes for shoddy journalism. You do something silly in the public sphere to get attention, so that does call for criticism.

    Keep up the good work, clever boy.

  3. If you took it down it would leave a broken link on my blog. I’d find that depressing. If I got depressed I’d make my wife’s life a misery and alienate my church members. If my marriage broke up and the church threw me out, I’d probably hurl myself under a bus.

    Is that what you want?

    Better leave it up, then.

  5. Do you think St John the Divine, the day after he finished Revelation, said, “Hang on, is it too late to change that bit about eternal damnation to ‘And they all lived happily ever after’? Oh well, never mind.”?

    I like to think so.

    Please Dave “W” Wibblethorpe, do not silence your prophetic voice.

  6. Thank you dear readers. In a bid to improve the UK road safety statistics I am going to leave the cartoon where it is.
