This Open Column is talking about the Johnny Hart B.C. comic strip from May 1st.
Link to strip:http://www.christiancourier.com/images/BCCOMIC.gif
This woman in the OC goes on a rampage that the Tribune should yank B.C. out of the paper. It seems like she is very much anti-Christian.
Here is a reply that I made to the editor of the Tribune:
Dear Miss Wade,
I am utterly amazed that you wrote this letter. Your lack of knowledge concerning Johnny Hart shows.
Johnny Hart has been in the Tribune comics for quite a while now. But you didn't realize that since this was the "first for me" ever seeing the strip.
Second, your lack of knowledge concerning American history shows. I believe that there is a document called the Constitution of the United States. It states that we have a thing called Freedom of Speech. Johnny Hart, being an American and all, has that right to Freedom of Speech. At least, for now, that is.
Third, your lack of compassion for Christianity and the Jewish Religion shows. The May 1st comic strip is historical and true. Christianity grew out of the Jewish Religion. Your reference to the Scope Trails also shows that you don't believe in God and His Creation.
Miss Wade, if Johnny Hart wrote a comic strip concerning Islam, Buddhism or any other religion, would you write the same letter and criticize that religion? Or are you just against Christianity?
Miss Wade, do us a favor. If you don't like the comics that the Tribune offers each Sunday, then please don't read them. I don't like certain strips, therefore, I don't read them. I have the right not to read them. But that doesn't mean that OTHER people, who do love comic strips like B.C.. can't read them because you, personally, do not like them.
There are more important issues in life than going on a rampage about comic strips in a newspaper.
BC comic strips have always had a somewhat religious bent to them. I'm 40years old and don't remember a time when the BC strip didn't exist. What took her so freakin long?
This Miss Wade sounds like the sort of anti-semite who's busy as we speak building a deathcamp oven in her backyard.
Thor needs to use his club upside her head and drag her back to his cave!!!
Kinda begging the old "Jesus Killer" taunt.
Another letter from a "tolerant liberal" advocating the supression of someone else's point of view simply because she disagrees with it.
It would help a great deal if she actually said what it was she opposed. The strip in general? Was there something in particular?

I bet Ms. Wade has never had her knickers in a knot over a Doonesbury strip...
More proof that Darwinism IS a religion.
I am certain this is the one she is upset over.
I think this is what we were looking for.
Christians....I keep leaving those spare S's laying around.....
Doonesbury and BC have been dreadfully unfunny for 25 years.

Thanks, and I still don't see the problem. I'm trying to decide if there were the same strip with a Muslim bent, would I be offended? Probably, but only personally, not enough to deny others their own personal beliefs.
Look at all the comics that have an agenda not really suitable for the comic pages. Tom Batuik ("Crakshaft," "Funky Winkerbean") seems to have an obsession with unwed mothers. Recently he had a couple shack up and, you guessed it, the villain was the woman's mother who objected to it.
I've heard that "For Better" is, or used to be, obsessed with the homosexual issue.
Scumbags like Wade are hopelessly embittered over all the recents election losses by the Democrat Party USA and the godless left. That's what her screed is really all about. The "Miss Wades" of the world are best ignored - - left to boil in their own burning hatred.
By the way, BUMP for great freeping!
