I find it distasteful, if not downright offensive, that Barmaid should feel it necessary to apologise for her perfectly reasonable views (“I’m sorry boys, but …”).
I like that “hybrid God/human blood sacrifice…to himself.” That “hybrid” concept (though not using that term) is a fundamental problem across all the Xtian sects.
Anyway. Didn’t the romans crucify most perps on an X shaped cross and naked and usually gang raped and castrated (male) victims? I reckon it was all made up, after the event….
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

J & M never apologise for their hateful views!

The essence of “hate speech” is that it is speech that somebody hates. No other speech requires protection.
Is Barmaid (peace be upon Her) apologizing? I thought She is expressing her pity and compassion, feeling sorry for the boys (eternal peas be theirs).
Eh. No peas for the wicked…I like mushy peas so I can’t be wicked then…stands to reason…
Anyway. Didn’t the romans crucify most perps on an X shaped cross and naked and usually gang raped and castrated (male) victims? I reckon it was all made up, after the event….
Barmaid’s “sorry” isn’t a real apology, it’s top quality passive-aggressive sarcasm.
OB: And it hit right in the Cock&Bull’s eye, too.
Good shot. On many planes.
Is it passive aggression? OR a micro-aggression ?
It is honesty.
