    Has the Joyce twitter actually been retweeting bible verses?

      If not, it totally should.

      And that should be a real channel, if it isn’t already.

        I could work on that. Unfortunately, Twitter has that 140 character limit. 😛

          Easy enough – just use those Psalms, even if they’re soooooo depressing.

    joyce has shackled her sense of well-being to the specious writings of an ancient cult as her personal way of dealing with man’s sense of cosmic insignificance, and walky is bad at guessing people’s ages

      Demoncat doesn’t understand the point of religion, and prefers to focus on Walky instead of the major characters.

            My personal favorite is when God opened the earth and had it eat a bucnh of rebel leaders. Then shortly after threw a fireball from Heaven and burned up the other 250 rebels. And these were His own people, I wonder what he would do to a bunch of heathens…

            Heh. I’m a (sort of) practising Jew and even I have my favourite “embarassing” Bible verses. Of which the best has to be Judges 1:19: “And the Lord was with Judah; and he drave out the inhabitants of the mountain; but could not drive out the inhabitants of the valley, because they had chariots of iron.” God, powerless against iron? Oops.

            Of course there’s this strip by Mr. Willis about the Danish cartoon which showed Mohammad and got the Danish Embassy in (I think) Syria on fire which is really both funny and demented at the same time… About how drawing Mohammad is forbidden and so Mr. Willis had the power to weaken gods (Which he of course abused) and got set on fire for…

    Surprise surprise… Billie does in fact NOT remember Joyce even though Joyce was the ONLY ONE WHO GAVE ENOUGH OF A DAMN to check and see if Billie was alright…(Personally I woulda kicked her while she was down) -_-

        October 27, 2010 at 1:01 am | #

        Thats true…She *seemed* sober during and after the meeting (or at least I think according to her twitter posts “Whats a useless and sober Friday night.”) but I wouldn’t be surprised if she DID go and get drunk afterward, especially with no roommate to snitch on her being out after hours (since they don’t allow alcohol on the premises)

        …oh wait, nvm that last post kinda did look like she was drunk afterward..you’re right. D :

        :/ I really want Billie to die and I guess its that bias that made me believe she was just a horrible person and forgot about the one person who made sure she was alright and labeled Joyce as some faceless stranger she yelled/ “hazed” at even though she was just trying to help.

        At least Mike is FUNNY and hes nice/ happy when hes drunk >_<;

            Or at least stop being such a friggin’ prick to everyone because she THINKS shes better than everyone else…

            Death OR she gets the superiority complex beaten out of her by someone (preferably Sal).

          As for Billy, I like her self centered snarkyness. She’ll probably grow out of it, but for now it makes her quite an enjoyable character.

            Actually, you’re right. I wrote that, then thought, “Wait, where did I get the third one?”, discovered the truth, went to delete my comment, found out I couldn’t, then went to say, “Oh, wait, it is two,” and then my internet shut down, so I went to bed.

            @JesseJanitect it is 2. Your link is his first appearance, and yesterday’s was his second. He wasn’t in today’s comic, even though he’s like two feet off panel.

    Ah… so Joyce is going to be something of a bible-thumper. Hopefully she’s too sweet to be revealed as the obnoxious judgmental kind who going to start condemning everyone to hell when she realizes that they’re all not good little bible kids like her.

    To say nothing whenever everyone starts revealing themselves to be gay…

      There shall be some confusion probably. She wouldn’t be delibrately a dick, I don’t see that being her style, but she’d be decidedly awkward when her good and kind nature and god-is-love thing conflicts perhaps with her religions beliefs (or particular sects beliefs at least). She might even say that it’s ‘wrong’ but deep down a part of her feels that wouldn’t be fair or she’d grow to realise how unfair it would be.

      Joyce is rather refreshing in my book and I have met some christians like her- they’re well meaning but just… don’t think things through or how things sound like, she wouldn’t be the HELL-FIRE! brand or the type of person who makes it sound like they can’t WAIT for you to reach eternal damnation. She’d genuinely want to ‘save’ you and thinks that her religion would make you happy. She has good intensions even if they’re misplaced.
