My sister has a PhD in biology, and teaches at a university. She went through the rigor of research, proper conclusions, defense of dissertation, etc. She still accepts, or doesn’t really investigate for veracity, this kind of circular logic in the religion that supposedly guides her life. SMH.
In the intro the Mark in my bible:
“Composed between 60 to 70 AD, it served as the basis for Matthew and Luke.”
The Gospels do not even claim to be eyewitness accounts.
M27, When I asked my librarian where I could find books on how old men could attract young women she pointed me down the hall to the fiction section. I hushed.
Who was Joseph’s father ?! Compare the accounts of the ancestry of Joseph, Husband of Mary & Stepfather of Jesus. According to Matthew Chapter 1, Joseph’s father was called Jacob, and Jacob was descended from King David’s son Solomon. According to Luke chapter 23, Joseph’s father was called Heli, and Heli was descended from King David’s son Nathan.
JB you beat me to it. I reckon , if the Mrs was to run off with the milkman or whatever cliche is appropriate nowadays…I would get myself a nice car and some expensive clobber a a set of turkey-teeth…I’d be beating them off with a shitty stick….
For you Brits I can see the utility of Turkish Teeth, but here in amurika our chompers have avoided degradation by the flouridation of the water supply and an unhealthy dose of bright, shining teeth commercials for tooth paste, a progressive agenda evil that was only enabled by the government, whom many of our citizens distrust and disdain. As far as needing a yacht to entice a young woman, let me say this about that…
What makes me treat you the way I do
Gee, Baby ain’t I good to you
There’s nothing in the world
Too good for a girl that’s good and true
Gee, Baby ain’t I good to you
Fur coat for Christmas
A diamond ring
Big Cadillac car
And everything
It’s love that makes me treat you the way that I do
Gee, Baby ain’t I good to you
Gee, Baby ain’t I good to you
Swinton girls would be more impressed with a narrow boat than a Yacht. Might get one when I retire and cruise the “Shag Boat” on the Bridgewater Canal….
M27, try the free parking at Salford Quay
wherein the the Morris Minor they play,
making hay, when the sun shines fully,
or else it’s too chilly
to expose one’s self so willy nilly.
Paul T Seed, the supposed ancestry of Joseph, to fulfil the prophecy that the Messiah would come from the house of David, is doubly irrelevant; the divergent genealogies discredit each other, and he was in any case just a cuckolded stepfather, with no blood tie to baby Jesus.
Too many people paying attention to historical christian apologists. The baby Jesus of the bible never existed. The whole thing was a concocted ficticious nonsense, like all religions are…
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

Shouldn’t that be ‘testifieth’ in panel 2?
My brother had a killer argument with which he (thought) he’d won every argument:
But I’m POSITIVE!
Admittedly, he was about 6 yrs old.
Without Archeological evidence the bible can be considered a work of fiction…NEXT….

postdoggerel — She should have pointed you to the finance section.

I don’t think a nice car would be enough. A 200 foot yacht now…
