Wow, Aziz sure makes the point that all religions are sadistic, corrupt, and vengeful. Just because he is a “belliever’, I don’t want him to suffer. But, then again, his brain developement is still in the era that our christianity was in the 1800’s when we burned witches to save their souls.
No he doesn’t Barry. The only point he makes is that he’s a complete mindless lunatic. I’m sure he’d still be a mindless lunatic without religion. Maybe he’d be a Nazi. Or he might like caravanning. Don’t blame religion on these people, there are plenty of “live-and-let-live” religious types who don’t take every single word of an ancient text literally. The kind that reads the message, not the words.
I feel very sorry for people like Aziz and Arif. So much hatred and anger built up over religion. How sad to limit your life to the words of someone who existed 1500 years ago, when there wasn’t society as we know it, flushing water or sanitation or simple things in life we now take for granted. How sad that they fill themselves with such hatred because some people live their life the way they choose, not based on the ramblings of some man from days gone by. It’s pathetic how people will go to war simply because others don’t believe in their imaginary friend. I like this site. It makes me smile and think. Keep up the good work.
Oh so subtle humor. As Huinca points out that last panel is just priceless.
By the way, I think Buddhism is one religion where it isn’t “required” to believe anything unless you want to. It is said that Buddha said do not believe in anything just beacuse I say it, or someone higher to you say it, because everyone believes it. In short, believe only if you get to know it, analyze it and if it seems fair enough.
But Religion is just a set of rituals and practices.
La Veyan Satanism is Atheistic and just revolves around a set of philosophies with ‘spiritual’ trappings, Buddhism has Reincarnation, and other weirdness of that kidney.
Just as much a Religion.
… like, maybe instead of wasting breath/typing spelling out what they want to have happen to infidels, they could make it like ordering from a Chinese menu:
“Hey, jackass! Yeah you! Surah 2:191, asshole!”
or
“You stupid c*nt, look what you did! I hope you Genesis 19:8!”
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

Such gentle, peace loving types aren’t they, these “believers”? Filled with the milk of human kindness until it overflows.
By the tone of his letter it’s sure Aziz enjoyed this site. May he burn in Jahannam for reading Jesus and Mo.

Oh man ppl have no sence of humour, but this is the funnyest comic strip I have read in a long time, hehe nice job
YOU WILL ALL DIE HORRIBLE DEATHS!! AND BURN!!….IN FIRE!! AND POSSIBLY HOTSAUCE!!
Author, you kick big ass. The closeup on Mo in the last panel is sublime. Couldn’t be better.
Oh so subtle humor. As Huinca points out that last panel is just priceless.

Pretty reasonable.
Buddhism has been defined as a philosophy as well as a religion… after studying it moderately closely, I’m inclined to go with the former.
But Religion is just a set of rituals and practices.
La Veyan Satanism is Atheistic and just revolves around a set of philosophies with ‘spiritual’ trappings, Buddhism has Reincarnation, and other weirdness of that kidney.
Just as much a Religion.
I find it weird that modern believers’ threats appear to be so mild compared to the punishments and torture scenes of their holy books.

Exactly, fenchurch. Christianists do it all the time. John 19:27 indeed.
