I enjoy the comic strip characters that find ways to make fun of the silly and foolish things we do. I expect the characters to avoid political and religious areas. Lynn Johnson has crossed this line in the last month with her strip “For Better or Worse.” She has created a new character called Lawrence, who is homosexual.

If the recent scripts reflect her views on homosexuality, then I believe they are not compatible with what the Bible teaches about this. If you read Genesis 19, you will learn that God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah because of this specific sin. I doubt He has changed his views on this in today’s world.

If Johnson chooses to use her strip to promote homosexuality, then perhaps “For Better or Worse” should be removed from the comics section and instead be placed on the editorial page with Mallard Fillmore. That is the section of the newspaper where folks are permitted to express their opinions.
