hate comes from fear and love starts right here

Last updated on: August 6, 2013 at 8:58 am By David Hayward

Some people like to claim that I hate some people because I attack them with my cartoons and posts. I strongly disagree. I can sincerely say I do not hate that person. But I certainly do critique what they say and do. Yesterday I wrote to a friend these words: “I assume we’re all equal. So I’m against abuse, control, manipulation, assumptions of power, the presumption of privilege, etc., in whatever mode they appear or are expressed, whether it’s with... Read more

gays confessing

Last updated on: August 5, 2013 at 8:28 am By David Hayward

Whenever I post a cartoon that reveals my advocacy for the LGBT community and for marriage equality, I usually get comments that if I advocate that, then I’m also advocating pedophilia, rape, bestiality, sex slavery and more. Ya. It shouldn’t come as any surprise that Sandy Rios of Fox News thinks this way, as well as Dr. Erwin Lutzer, a Chicago pastor she interviewed. Take a listen. It’s only a couple of minutes. She compares gay love to the kidnapper/rapist... Read more

does religion inflict suffering then offer the cure?

Last updated on: August 4, 2013 at 9:04 am By David Hayward

I saw this quote by Jon Stewart: “Religion: It’s given people hope in world torn apart by religion.” I can hear somebody now saying that we just need to give people Jesus. But I suggest you can’t just give anybody Jesus because you aren’t just delivering the product but the packaging. As soon as you touch it, it changes into something else with it’s own wrapping, instructions, expiry date, outlets and price. Some like to say that this is the... Read more

It’s Our Fault Millennials Are Leaving the Church

Last updated on: August 3, 2013 at 9:49 am By David Hayward

I know this cartoon will be a trigger for some of you, and I apologize that I couldn’t warn you before you saw it if it was. Rachel Held Evans wrote a post, “Why Millennials Are Leaving the Church”. More people are weighing in. So I drew this cartoon in response to David French‘s post, “Why Are Millennials Leaving the Church? The Narcissism Factor”. French’s concern for the church is apparent. His willingness to accept responsibility for the mess is... Read more

is today the first day or the last day of your life?

Last updated on: August 2, 2013 at 7:54 am By David Hayward

“Today is the first day of the rest of your life.” “Live every day as if it’s your last.” Come on! Which is it? Well, it’s both! Summed up: you’ve got today. That’s it. Live like it. Be free. Be yourself. Live your own life fearlessly! In this vein, I want to recommend a good book to you, Anita Moorjani’s Dying to be Me: My Journey From Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing. She tells the story of her... Read more

can being used lead to being abused?

Last updated on: August 1, 2013 at 8:33 am By David Hayward

Several people forwarded David Henson’s post, “I Am Not a Drug: Why God Isn’t in the Business of Using People”. They said it reminded them of me. I appreciate it when people do that. Immediately I saw a cartoon. So here it is. Here’s a quote from Henson’s post: “The problem with understanding God’s active presence in the world in terms of using humans is that it robs people of their agency, their humanity, their very image of God. It... Read more

door to door atheist evangelists

Last updated on: July 31, 2013 at 9:04 am By David Hayward

I see this in our future. My post yesterday, “Why Millennials Are Leaving the Church Really”, was in response to Rachel Held Evans’ article, “Why Millennials Are Leaving the Church”. Later in the day my good friend, Hemant Mehta, The Friendly Atheist, wrote his own response, “Why Are Millennials Leaving Church? Try Atheism!”. You’ve got to read it. I found it fascinating because it is evangelism pure and simple. A friend of mine called it proselytizing. When I was a... Read more

why millennials are leaving the church really

Last updated on: July 30, 2013 at 8:45 am By David Hayward

Rachel Held Evans writes for CNN’s religion blog on “Why Millennials Are Leaving the Church”. I like what she has to say and am in agreement with much of it. This one sentence summarizes her opinion well: “…the assumption among Christian leaders, and evangelical leaders in particular, is that the key to drawing twenty-somethings back to church is simply to make a few style updates…” She continues later: “What millennials really want from the church is not a change in...

how to beat people up without even touching them

Last updated on: July 29, 2013 at 7:00 am By David Hayward

I have been on a huge learning curve this last week. I’ve come to realize on a deeper level how significant a role shame plays in our culture, and especially our religious, spiritual and church culture. I was ordained in the Presbyterian Church in Canada in 1986 and began the ministry by pastoring three small rural churches. The sermons the people liked the best were the ones where I poured out my wrath upon them for not measuring up to... Read more

Are We Populating the World with Atheists?

Last updated on: July 28, 2013 at 9:47 am By David Hayward

Let me try this on you: Remember a post I did a couple of weeks ago, Steve McCoy’s Broken Babies Born in Sin? It’s based on the theology that we are born sinners, born bad, born broken, born atheists. Basically, it convinces you that you are a sinful child of the devil, which is meant to humble you, which is meant to prepare you for repentance, which is meant to make you ask for salvation, which is meant to get...
