“How did Job get out of this?” Gurl you do not want the Job treatment. Dude lost everything except his life, his wife, and three friends. And you don’t even have three friends.
Wilson: Don’t think of America as a Christian Nation. One of the things that make this country great is the constitutional right to religious freedom! Faith is so much more enlightening when you can gain different perspectives on it from different people, wouldn’t you say?
Reverend Wilson is honestly one of my favourite characters in this comic.
With Ronald McDouchebag making such a good show of religion’s dangerous downsides, it’s nice to have an actual ‘authority’ of the faith show kindness and openmindedness.
I’d say that while Ronald shows how religion can give bigots a shield for their beliefs, Wilson shows how religion can be a way for kindhearted people to influence communities into being more good.
Christianity _does_ count as a “branch religion”. That whole Old Testament, New Testament thing.
Ron’s just going to have to admit that he’s the same as everyone else who doesn’t like ‘the system’- like Jocelyn!
Wilson looks like he’s wearing a bathroom and with that coffee in his hands, it makes him look rather fatherly (no pun intended on the fact that he’s a priest).
Certainly more fatherly than Ronald, that’s for true.

@JIMENOPOLIX: I think it’s a reference to Job from the Bible. She is holding and reading a Bible while she says this.
“How did job get out of this?”
Was that a typo or is that how it’s meant to be written? Is it a reference or did she make up that line?

There is still one more strip to end this story.
Job asked God to stop killing people close to him, and then God chewed him out for presuming to know His intentions, to answer Phyllis’ question.
Hmmm…
A good lesson from Reverend Wilson. It’s too bad that it’s fallen on deaf ears.
The good Reverend assumes that Ronald has an open mind that can accept such ideas, but it’s closed tighter than the vault door at Fort Knox.
Today’s strip made me notice Ronald’s going through the 5SoG. Stage 3 in panel 1 & maybe stage 4 in panel 4.
@TheJayster49 Maybe that fatherly look was JB’s goal.
Ronald’s brain would probably bluescreen if you showed him proof the vast majority of the founding fathers were Deist or agnostic, not Christian.
Yes, there is a BIIIIG difference.

Fuck that was some good weed.
I’d say that Ron is gonna turn into that theocratic President in “Escape From L.A.”…but that’s still four years away in this timeline.

I love Jocelyn’s expression in the last panel.
