ASBO Jesus is a funny blog. I think that his cartoons communicate on many levels. So I am wondering what different messages do you think he is communicating in the above cartoon?
What is this cartoon saying?

That the scripture is right, all men are liars!
ReplyDeleteThe cartoon is quite clear: "Your sermon was so boring that it enabled me to get in a good snooze, and now I feel refreshed." Hey, do your posters vote?
ReplyDeleteIs that called "resting in Jesus"?

ReplyDeleteThe cartoonist is being gratuitously unkind. It's not easy for a pastor to deliver a stunning sermon week after week. I don't know, but I have the feeling the cartoonist does not like religion in general - although he can be entertaining.
I use the "resting in Jesus" technique when running marathons. It takes me to the 18 mile point, after which I am sore tempted to lay down and take a snooze.
ReplyDeleteI don't take it as a slam on pastors as much as I do a slam on the man in the pew. To quote Keith Green, "The world is sleeping in the dark that the church can't fight 'cause it's asleep in the light. How can you be so dead when you've been so well fed? Jesus rose from the grave and you can't even get our of bed!
ReplyDeleteSpherical has a good take on this. Actually, his idea was in the back of my mind. So, was the cartoonist dissing the pastor or the parishioner? Only he knows for sure.
ReplyDeleteWhere did we get the idea that the pastor is supposed to preach a stunning or brilliant sermon every Sunday? Sermons are, generally, boring. I'd much rather have a conversation than listen to some expert tell me about his interpretation of scripture.
