Imagine this: a gift that’s not just a one-time gesture but a sustained act of care – a love letter service delivered monthly, complete with a poem, holographic sticker, and exclusive treasure.
Gift it for up to a year – perfect for last-minute Christmas giving. No malls, no frantic scrolling, just handcrafted love mailed monthly.

I am normally the last person to complain about stuff like this, but the similiarity to this strip from Zach Weinersmith from 2008 is suspicious:

Please tell me that it is not plagiarized :(
whatever! @ZachWeinersmith wasn't first either!
It's kind of a running gag at this point, and I'm sure is the solution to Fermi's Paradox..
@warandpeas Sure! Let's explain this.
Jesus knew our sin so well that 1) He knew the Pharisees and Romans would kill him, and 2) He let it happen to pay the impossible debt of sin for everyone for all time. Then he arose from the dead to prove that the debt had been paid in full. We don't need to explain ourselves, he already knows. All we need to do is turn to Him and accept his amazing grace.
@willvaughn @warandpeas lol, and now we haven't seen him in centuries, people sin more than ever, and we're just ledt to *assume* we're "forgiven".
instead, we celebrate his birthday in the winter (instead of the spring), kill and subjugate in his name, spreading woefully outdated gospel.
I appreciate you are a person of faith, but cookies would probably have been a much easier way to see him more often.
@mousey I get where you're coming from, and it's not wrong. None of it should be surprising though. The bible tells us repeatedly that people will sin, that religion does not save, that our broken world will despise God and call evil good, and good evil. Religions will be corrupt and religious leaders (even those who claim Christ) will be hypocrites.
I had to separate what people say and do in the name of God/Jesus, from what God says about Himself and what He ultimately did for us.
@warandpeas When is this from? The SMBC linked below is from 2008. Who's ripping off whom?
