It's kinda creepy seeing cute cartoon characters having this all-too-real conversation

Wow, Morningstar, this really grieves my heart because of the anti-Christian messages in it. The worst part is, this is put in a cartoon form for young children to influence their young minds. I shouldn't be shocked, but I am. Where did you find this?

Oh, okay, thanks Morningstar! For some reason, I didn't see the link.
You're so right, this is where America has sunk to. I am so glad that this is the last generation. Can you imagine how corrupt the next one would be? (Shudder). It grieves me that our children and young people are being exposed to all of that anti-Christian influence.

How appropriate for today. I don't believe he is giving an anti-Christian message there at all. It would probably go over most kids' heads. I think what he's relaying there is that this is where society stands today. There are many Peanuts comic strips that are meant for adults.

The way I am reading this cartoon is that, in the underlying message, whatever Linus is saying is right, and whatever Lucy is saying is wrong. Generally in Peanuts, Linus is smart, and you can't trust Lucy.
The cartoonist is making a comment on today's society. That would also mean it is smart to honour God.
That's how I interpret this cartoon.

Yes - just as an FYI, this is NOT a peanuts comic... as LS has pointed out, it's by Dixon Diaz, who is using his own illustrations of Peanuts characters to convey a (rather twisted, but important) message:
that the foundational truths of the United States of America (because, let's be honest, Peanuts was in many respects a reflection of so many things that made America great, despite the fact that it was a mere comic strip) have fundamentaly changed.
Good grief, indeed.

I saw that one a while ago and thought it really hit the nail on the head. I was just lamenting to a co-worker today how much the US has deteriorated in just the last five years. It really is astonishing when I look back. **sigh**

Wow, you guys really did your research on this, didn't you?. Shelayne, I posted the same comic strip on another site a while back...about a year ago.

It very well could have been YOUR post on another site that I had seen then, Shiloh! I'm thinking the site I had seen it on was not a Christian site, per se, but a politically conservative one. Did you post it on one of those, perhaps?
