Well said Barmaid. After recently hearing, over and over again, “I’m sorry sir, we cannot do anything about it.” I asked if she were a robot. She replied, “NO.”
I had to respond, “That’s what robots always say.”
Well if they REALLY believe in ASMODEUS don’t bother having a grown-up discussion with them. Treat them as you would a four year old, though my 4yo grandson is already far more questioning than 100% of the religiously retarded….
For a start off…don’t let them in your pub until they can show enough gumption to appear 18, even if they have the intellectual capacity of a frozen whelk…
I did latin for 3 years at high school…and classical studies….I would have preferred a proper introduction into number theory, statistics and physics…don’t gete onto the ludicrous english lit and religious studies they made me suffer…Floyd were partially right…I don’t need no (non science) education…
Learning hebrew. Satan is a verb, The word is derived from a verb meaning primarily “to obstruct, oppose”. Sometimes in the bible in hebrew an angelical angel is the “satan” or opposer of the actions of a patriarch.
Jesus & Mo (the characters) are absurd, blinkered, and oddly very sweet. J&M (the cartoon) is brilliant: sharp, delicious, irresistible. Salman Rushdie
Jesus and Mo cartoons are wonderfully funny and true. Richard Dawkins
Jesus and Mo make the world a better place, bless their little hearts. Ophelia Benson
In a world defined by outrage and offence and liberal spinelessness, Jesus and Mo is a treasure, whose value we should never fail to recognize. Read them. Laugh. And think. Kenan Malik
The brilliant, celebrated, freaking hilarious atheist comic strip ... Greta Christina
...rays of sanity in a befuddled world. Keri Hulme
The liveliest depictions of Muhammad currently available... Malise Ruthven
J & Mo is the funniest and most consistently thought-provoking cartoon strip on the Net. In a saner world, it would run in a major newspaper. Nelson Jones, Heresy Corner
Consistently amusing, frequently thought-provoking and often heart-warming. New Humanist
Jesus & Mo is one of the most wonderful things on the internet.. JT Eberhard
Wittily captures much of the absurdity of religious apologetics. Mano Singham
I love jesusandmo.net cartoons - witty and sharp! Katha Pollitt
Often hilarious, frequently wry, these cartoons do what all the best cartoons do: they tell the truth through humour. Terry Sanderson, NSS President
...a wonderfully acid British cartoonist... Nick Cohen
I love the scrappy mockery of Jesus and Mo. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom to mock any person, any thing, any activity, and
any belief -- and J&M stands up for this unflinchingly Richard Stallman
...empowering, important and deeply progressive, not to mention hilarious... Council of Ex-Muslims

This is entirely representative of every effort of communication across the epistemic divide

Next week they should accuse her of fomenting a moral panic.
Satan is the same thing as god
Mockingbird:
Next time say, “But you can be replaced by a robot.”
In panel 1, Mo accidentally describes himself, for he himself has closed his mind.
But Jesus isn’t entirely wrong in panel 4. Satan is the Prosecuting Angel; he _would_ ask difficult questions like that. Sinners take the 5th.
Jean-François, merci! You offered some Latin, and I was forced to look it up, and therefore learned something. Now, THAT’S something I can get behind.

Laripu ~ You learned that if it had been in English, you wouldn’t have had to look it up.
Aye…precisely and succinctly put, my owd china…

Jesus and Satan were in a loving gay relationship.
Hence “Get behind me, Satan!”
