You had me find the song on YouTube and now my life is better.

I love this post. I’ve been going into a lot of churches lately and have felt very welcomed despite being an atheist. And you are the second cartoonist to have mentioned the Zeigarnik Effect this week! Jason Chatfield was talking about it and it must be the reason my brain feels so jammed full at the moment.

Thanks Alex. That’s a great way to meet people where you live. That’s funny about the zeigarnik effect, I only learnt about it the other day. Maybe there’s a word for two cartoonists using the same word in the same week!

We know this commandment is in the Hebrew Testament. In the New Testament when asked which is the greatest commandment, Jesus said it is to love God and love your neighbor. Paul in Galatians 5:14 distilled it down to its essential:

Galatians 5:14 For the whole Law is summed up in one commandment: “Love your neighbor as you love yourself.”

———-

To me, you show your love for God by loving your neighbor, which includes EVERYONE.

Yes. Even “them”.

Yes, I don’t think God has ‘thems.’
