From your “About”: “He is always happy to bestow praise and offer provocative – but always constructive – feedback”
I’m not sure that what you posted counts as constructive. In fact, I would call it randomly aggressive. I don’t want to sound like I’m starting a fight, but you seem to be claiming that any and all mention of religion is Adam purposefully infringing upon the territory of TimothyGCramer.
I took it as a facetious jab at the fact that Adam-bug’s ministering involves squirting 409 into people’s eyes.
For example, as a counselor, if the last panel were to be “Two xanax and ten squirts?” “Right into those agoraphobic eyes” I might say “No offense, Adam, but how about you draw cartoons and leave the counseling to me?” Because Adam-bug would obviously make a terrible counselor, just as he obviously makes a terrible minister.
I tried to point out, in jest, that the behaviour described in the last panel, while funny and making for a nice cartoon, would be inappropriate and dangerous in real life.
Of course Adam already knows that, so he might get mildly annoyed (but hopefully not too angry) about me pointing out something blatantly obvious. (And I have to give you that pointing out something blatantly obvious is not really constructive feedback.)
I guess I’ll have to bear the judgement for making a joke that would mildly annoy Adam.
WRT that last panel: No offense, Adam, but how about you draw cartoons, and I talk (or, preferably, listen) to people who want to see a minister?

Was that your intention?

Does that make sense?

Any chance that the fact that spraying 409 into one’s eyes is decidedly unwise might be the actual joke?
Oh no, that means my fault really was explaining the joke. That’s one so much harder judgement to bear.
Aw, don’t fret, Timothy. I don’t think you got that joke at all.
And now you managed to hurt me. Kudos!
Do I need to state the obvious? (Wow, here I got to quote Mike.)
That that last comment, like my very first comment which started this discussion, was a joke.
For the record: Adam is not annoyed.
For the record: Matthew is amused at all of this.
Had I suspected otherwise, I would not have made that joke in the first place.
For the record: I am not a zombie.
Woo! I’m back!
Reborn? Or just finished digging out of your grave?
But you still would go for a Domino’s Pizza if offered one I bet.
You do realize that he said “If I WERE a priest…”?
See above …
Man, when I was a kid, it was 20 squirts of 409… they don’t know how good they’ve got it these days.
Ever wonder if the Beach Boys got paid for that indirect endorsement? Sure they were singing about a car instead.
Yeah, that was my first thought. Here’s a link to the song:

Squirts Real Fine, My 409:
Gimme that, gimme that, 409!
The video done busticated, but now I can’t get ‘Greased Lightning’ out of my head.
That song was used in 409 commercials, which was actually the first time I’d heard it. I didn’t realize it was a real song for years.
They should re-brand Formula 409 as “Blood of the Lamb” cleanser.
Personally I prefer Krud Kutter to wash away my sins.
That’s one hell of a ketchup stain in panel 3.
Grenade debris.
Ketchup grenade.
So much for “Anticipation.”
Heinz done watered down their ketchup again and those high impact plastic bottle ain’t.
Adam, shouldn’t it be the plural “Hail Marys”?
Whoops! Good catch. Will fix.
Or is it the internal pluralization, “Hails Mary”? ^^
But the real test is how would 409 work in an attack from a zombie? Not that I’m worried about zombie attacks mind you.
My grandma used to clean her piano keys with 409. She called the “music” she made while doing so “Beethoven’s 409th Symphony”.
That’s really cute.
I suppose 409 is decent, but what I really want is 410:

Kills germs! As well as anything else in a twenty foot radius!
Nah, 409 is best for exorcisms.
