We hold on to our fantasies as long as possible. To let go of our fantasies two things may need to happen: the paradigm we presently hold is so discredited that we have no choice but to reject it; or a new paradigm overwhelmingly presents itself and we have no choice but to replace the old one with this one. After being out of the church for over a year now I realize that much of what passed as encouragement... Read more
Sheep’s clothing doesn’t just fool the sheep, but also the one wearing it. Duplicity is almost always unconscious. The wolves in sheep’s clothing that I have known were totally sincere in their imagined intentions. They had no idea of the destruction they were causing. This wolf wants to be up to date. The sheep’s clothing, his particular style of spirituality, is only a covering. You can buy the original of this cartoon. Please contact me. Or buy a print. Or,... Read more

Faith without works is dead. (Saint James) Believing something is nothing without the corresponding action. James says that even the devil believes. The problem is in the deed. The deed. Add on top of the belief the talk of the belief without the action… that’s even more diabolical. It’s a false boast in the nothing. It is a beautiful façade attempting to conceal the falsity of the nothing. Because without the corresponding deed the talk about the nothing is pretension.... Read more
(Buy the original of this cartoon or a print of it. Just contact me.) We comfort and entertain ourselves by thinking there is a logical connection between what we pray for and what follows. We’d like to believe we control the consequences of our actions, and that we are the masters of cause and effect. I’ve been in this poor fella’s shoes and found myself saying, “I didn’t ask for this!” Cup runneth over? I already have a book of... Read more
