“God and Yoga Pants” cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward

Perhaps I should have said “your god and yoga pants”, because the truth is that everyone takes their god and adjusts it to fit themselves.

Our god remarkably resembles the god we want.

This cartoon was inspired by a friend’s reflection on the whole Christian modesty and purity movement’s concern for yoga pants.

I don’t wear yoga pants, so you can relax.

“Paternity Suit” cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward

Do you think the church would win its case?

Why does Jesus appear to be defensive? Is he suspicious of the church’s motives? The church can’t be after his money because he doesn’t have any. So why is it pushing for the DNA test?

Maybe it happened so long ago that he has no recollection of it.

This is not a day in the life of every Christian blogger.

But it is for this one. Today.

In fact, you don’t have to be a Christian to identify with most of this.

I know some of her struggles.

“Slow Friends” (cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward)

This isn’t a criticism. I’m just pointing something out.

I think most people would agree that the church does not represent revolution, but conservation.

Jesus was a revolutionary. He wasn’t a conservator.

I would say the same thing about the earliest church.

But it’s changed. Sloths have always been slow. Snails have always been slow. Turtles have always been slow. The church? No. There have been times in history when the church shows incredible courage and speed in progress. But most of the time… not!

This is the danger of institutions. Like Berkowski said,

“As the spirit wanes, the form appears.”

Even though the church can hang out with these friends, I don’t think it really belongs here.

You?

I invite you to The Lasting Supper where one of the things I do is provide support for people leaving the church. CLICK HERE!

You should read my story of “The Liberation of Sophia”. It’s all about my story of leaving the church. ClICK HERE!

“The Power of Religion” cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward

This doesn’t only apply to religion, but to any power that would keep you under its influence.

1. Everything depends on you feeling helpless:

If you are helpless, then you are a sinner, broken, needy, depraved, a victim who needs rescue and help.

2. The next step is that it offers you the help it says you need:

If they have the cure, then it can supply your needs… it or its savior… and this requires you to confess, repent, convert, submit and commit to this particular brand of religion.

3. The final step is that this cure lasts forever:

It’s not a one-time dose, but medication for life! You must live in constant brokenness and constant repentance with constant commitment through the constant expenditure of your time, energy and money.

This young woman figured it out early. The whole thing hinges on her feeling helpless.

Therein lies her freedom! Right there and nowhere else.

Jesus said the kingdom is within you!

Buddha said depend on no other.

“Baby Object” cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward

I read this smart post by Lauren Martin, Ladies, The Smarter You Are, The More Likely You Are To Be Single. It inspired me to draw this cartoon.

And we all know that if this is generally true, it is specifically true in some expressions of religion and religious organizations such as the church.

We have a daughter who feels the pressure to dumb in down. But she won’t. She is aware of the cost. But to dumb it down is even more costly in an even more detrimental way.

“Ken Ham’s Alien” (cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward)

Some things are just too good to pass up.

Like this story about Ken Ham’s claim that aliens cannot be saved, since Jesus was Godman, not a Godklingon or Godmartian. Makes sense to me.

I wonder if the alien would say, “You must be born from above. Waaaaaaaaaaaaay above! Like, a whole galaxy above!”

So this picture of an alien popping out of Ham’s chest popped into my mind and popped out of my pens and popped onto my blog and now popped before your eyes!

Although I might agree with Ham that an alien such as this one would belong in Hell. But what about E.T.? Surely not!

Read the story of The Liberation of Sophia. It could be your story!

“Piece of the Peace” (cartoon by nakedpastor David Hayward)

I believe peace is a reality. I also believe the appearance of division is just that: appearance.

Of course, all our efforts to clearly define our differences and disagreements make the appearance of division very convincing.

I would like to contribute to peace rather than to the problem.
