For Trayvon Martin and Jesus wore a hoodie

Last updated on: July 14, 2013 at 9:53 am By David Hayward

I drew this cartoon in March of 2012 after Trayvon Martin was shot and killed. It is no surprise to me that George Zimmerman was acquitted of second-degree murder. He was also acquitted of manslaughter. He shot and killed an unarmed black teenager wearing a hoodie on a snack run. Oh… sorry… he was armed with Skittles. Did you know that in Florida you can kill someone you believe is a threat to you even if you can retreat from... Read more

when Jesus helps your unbelief

Last updated on: July 13, 2013 at 8:07 am By David Hayward

You struggle with your unbelief. You ask for help. It gets worse. I tweeted last night: “Just remove one overused clichéd word from your vocabulary, like the word “believe”, and see how it helps shape a new way of thinking.” The bible says Satan believes. A lot of good that does him. Actually, I believe losing belief can be an unbelievably good thing. In fact, I moderate an online community where we learn how to deconstruct our beliefs in healthy...

the z-theory in a simple diagram and explanation

Last updated on: July 12, 2013 at 3:25 pm By David Hayward

I posted this for my other site, the online community The Lasting Supper, but I thought I would share it with you as well. Hopefully this will help some of you understand the z-theory better. It is based on a waterfall dream I had a few years ago that left me the impression it graphically depicted the structure of reality. I suggest this diagram can be used by all religions and world-views. So as I try to explain to my... Read more

The Lone Ranger and Proof Tonto is Jesus

Last updated on: July 12, 2013 at 7:54 am By David Hayward

This is conclusive evidence that Tonto is, in fact, Jesus! Here’s the story behind the cartoon: I read a few articles indicating that some Christians were going to boycott The Lone Ranger because of it’s deviation from the more Christian emphasis of the original film, as well as its dabbling in native spirituality and paganism. Plus, Christians, particularly Presbyterians, aren’t put in a very complimentary light. I was Presbyterian for a while. Actually, that’s who ordained me. Jeffrey Weiss, writing... Read more

Steve McCoy’s broken babies born in sin

Last updated on: July 11, 2013 at 2:39 pm By David Hayward

Some stories are just too good to pass up. So Steve McCoy tweeted: “Teach your children they are broken. Deeply broken.” It received a slew of negative reactions. But it got some positive ones too. Stephanie Drury pointed it out on her Facebook page, Stuff Christian Culture Likes. McCoy won’t let her be. McCoy responds with defensiveness and is unwilling to back down from his tweet in spite of the backlash. I like Amy Mitchell’s response in her post, “People... Read more

a young nakedpastor reader draws my portrait

Last updated on: July 10, 2013 at 9:52 pm By David Hayward

A 9 year old girl, Shena, likes my cartoons. Her father told me that she would love to see a video of me drawing a cartoon. She wanted to see how I did it. I created a video just for her. You can watch it HERE. Shena is struggling with an illness. So I dedicated the cartoon to her and sent her the original drawing. In return she drew my portrait and sent this drawing to me. I think it’s... Read more

tired of being put on hold

Last updated on: July 10, 2013 at 7:51 am By David Hayward

There are a lot of people being put on hold. Their inalienable rights are being withheld. Who withholds them? Those in power who have the “hold” button while enjoying their inalienable rights. “Let’s just give this time.” “Let’s not rush it.” “Let’s just see how this turns out.” “If God is behind it then eventually it’ll turn out.” “Patience is required in times like these.” “We must wait for more information and clarity.” These are things said by people who...

Mother Teresa and the fatal love of suffering

Last updated on: July 9, 2013 at 7:14 am By David Hayward

When I was studying for my Masters in Theology, I took some Patristics courses… the early church and apostolic fathers. It was fascinating studying the martyrs like Polycarp, Ignatius and Justin Martyr because they wanted to be martyred. It was such an honor, such a sacrifice, such a guarantee of eternal reward, that they seemed to do anything in their power to get killed for their faith. They took as their examples Jesus who did not open his mouth to... Read more

Rachel Held Evans, Liars and Babies for Brains

Last updated on: July 8, 2013 at 8:13 am By David Hayward

It seems seldom to me that someone says something so stupid so clearly that you can quote them in one sentence. Let me give you some background. Rachel Held Evans wrote a post “If My Son or Daughter Were Gay”. I found the post moving and fair. Rachel has a strict comment policy: “Please stay positive with your comments. If your comment is rude, it gets deleted. If it is critical, please make it constructive. If you are constantly negative... Read more
