Exactly. The only reason that the mass of Christians in today’s world is less terrifying than the mass of Muslims is that Christians are better at ignoring the worst parts of their holy books. In fact, they even have a whole second book for the sole purpose of mitigating the shitty things that their “unchanging god” did in the first book
The rest they can pick and choose from and translate poorly to make say whatever their agenda of the day is.
Learning that Catholics have so many extra things to feel good about getting rid of means I kind of missed out. Fervent Anglicans just don’t really compare in the patently absurd department.
Sure they’ve got the basic sky faerie and 3=1=3 stuff, but “Is that all there is?”
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

Actually, I always thought the wafer would be a piece of matzoh.
Wouldn’t that be more fitting what with Hayzus being born a Yid, ya know?
Can you imagine what the leftovers from his bris would fetch on eBay?

The leftovers are long gone, Jerry. Lotsa talk in the church about it rising up with J to heaven. On the wings of a, I don’t know, seagull maybe.
“No need. I’m perfect.”
Muslims believe that. Mo is the ‘perfect example for all time’.
And once you know how he lived his life, you realize how terrifying the thought of a billion Mohammeds is.

Funny. Getting rid of my patently absurd beliefs made me feel a lot better too.
I should tell you about them sometime. Angels and gold plates! Hoo boy. What a bunch of kidders.
I feel short changed, somehow.

When it comes to absurd beliefs, no one, not Catholics, Mormons, Hasidics, or obscure Hindu cults, can hold a candle to the rock worshippers:

Haha, golden plates… Exactly where I came from.
I love Jesus 🙂
Mo is perfect!! I didn’t know it!
He is sooo humble.
😀 😀 😀
Jesus should have said “Ouch!… just kidding”.
People who think they’re perfect really piss off those of that are! 🙂
