Actually, a Hitler and Mo duo would be much more accurate. You could probably get some mileage out of a Jesus, Krishna and Buddha trio, but then you’d have less time to conflate Christianity and Islam.
@Free Speech…..Hitler was a Catholic so you would be conflating Christianity with MO’s Islam anyway.
The three Abrahamic religions all worship the same Jewish war God, although Christians attempt to differentiate themselves by adding in an additonal reincarnating human for good measure so when it suits them they can distance themselves from the nastier bits of the Old Testament.
“I never mean to say those horrible things about Bulgarians, I was a different person then. In my heart, I’ve changed since that time.”
“It was ten minutes ago.”
“Yes, the heart can change as fast as the allegiances of a shifty Bulgarian.”

@ Vanity Unfair ……. I think that Christians believe Jesus (1) to be God (2) as his son in human form through insemination of the Virgin via the Holy Ghost (3) whatever that is. This forms the Trinity (1+2+3) which they claim to be one unified thing they call God. Its even more confusing BS than the Jews or Muslims come up with. Jews perceive Jesus (if they bother) as just a man and his worship idolatry, whist Muslims have a more benign view of him as one of their prophets.
PrimalVirtue: “a more benign view of him as one of their prophets” Nothing benign there: they consider “Isa” (their name for Jesus) to be the major MUSLIM prophet, who had never claimed for himself to be a son of God, and Muslims who fought for Allah will go to Heaven and others to hell: specifically Christians (who err by believing Jesus is a God or his son) and Jews (on who is the God’s wrath) (see the traditional interpretations of Quran 1:7, the verses that the Muslims are supposed to repeat many times per day!) are “the worst of creatures” (see Quran 98:6).
To see how many verses are so intolerant of all those present in Quran, there’s a nice graphical representation; the result is: amazingly many, and they are hypnotically repeated in almost every Sura: http://www.koran-at-a-glance.com/
@primal virtue. I only wish Muslims had a more benign view of anybody who dares to question their crock of shite religion. Even supposed tolerant Muslims would agree to kill anybody who disrespected the Koran.
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

Yeh! First to comment. On the ball, as usual.
I forgive Jesus, Mo, and Moses “unreservedly”. They’ve earned that by being dead. Their still-living followers still have a lot to prove.
@Ian Garrett…..yeah but you didn’t…….come to think of it…….3rd in anyway.
Tim Farron hasn’t appologised for ‘appologising wrongly’ yet on his homophobic views so no redemption for him.

All those tweets were from last week, possibly even the week before.
He was a different person then, we have to recognize the stable genius he is now, despite the negative press covfefe.

If Jesus is God, then who, or what, is Jesus’s God?
My apologies if someone has already answered this.

@PrimalVirtue, over 30 years ago, I was seeing a girl who called them Daddio, Boyo, and Spook. 🙂
