Religion would disappear if parents/schools were (by law) not allowed to teach children anything that isn’t scientifically proven. If they want to be religious they have to wait till they are 18, like fags and booze…
On the one hand, theists say that humans are separate from nature because we are a special creation, made in their deity’s image, then on the other try to maintain that we are subject to laws of nature like other animals. Finally, they deny the fact that same-sex bonding and sexual behaviors have been observed among many nonhuman species.
Human sexuality is very complex due to our brain algorithmic power..See Hitchen’s on being good looking with a femine face in a boys only boarding school…
The Art’s are usually taken up by children anyway. My father was a drummer is an avante gard jazz band. I like Jazz rock fusion but not the extreme weirdness he played…My youngest likes the prog/metal I like but my Eldest likes Michael Buble!!! Parents and schools should promote all the arts, just not Anything pertaining to cults whether state sponsred or not…
I do like good drumming though…I think I absorbed some of the ridiculously complicated drumming I heard when my dad was pounding the drums or when he took me to his gigs (very occasional)
And probably that music with ridiculously complex changes of time signature turn me on and why I hate the 4/4 bland trash that the majority of sheep get told is Genius…
arbeyu, music is inherently mathematical as is the art of Escher. As far as the other items on your list, we don’t have to sweat that. They will not be on the curriculum here in the USA. Not until we have dispatched our king.
I feel sorry for the minority of intelligent yanks. They neef to leave the stinking morass. We could do a swap. USA can have all our criminals and undesirables and we can have all your scientists and technologists…sounds fair to me…
M27, from your lips to gawd’s ears. We are truly fucked, just as you were with brexit. Hold your breath, cross your fingers. Good news! Musk has challenged tRump over tariffs. It may soon be that he is in the dust bin of history for that. Let us hope. Christ, what a razor’s edge we are balanced on here. Pray for us (that is, think some positive thoughts for us. I just attended an anti-trump demonstration in my local area, and was delighted to see how many of us were not hoodwinked by our felon-in-chief. How bad can it be when some dolt can upset 80 years of diplomacy with his egocentric mania?
Nothing against reading and writing. Nor am I against letting childrens imagination be freed from dogma as they explore FICTION. But DO.NOT TELL CHILDREN THAT RELIGIOUS DOGMA IS FACT. in fact Religious ideas should be held up to scrutiny and clerics of all colours should be forced to wear clown outfits and be forced to make us laugh? Who right minded person wouldn’t be happy to take the piss out of somebody who tries to promote the utter dog shit in their holy books as if it was True?
Oh as well Intelligent design bollocks. Should be nowhere near any science syllabus. Nor should any children be taught altermative “folk” bollocks – that comes under tribal religious bollocks. And deservefly should get examined and exposed as primitive pre-scientific bollocks…to.be treated the same as all fiction and fantasy…
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

Well, it’s really more of a recommendation than a law.
Hi Jesus and Mo.
I think you should make a cartoon series about what you think about Donald Trump.
Maybe a cartoon series what the barmaid think about Donald Trump
Logic – schmogic. The barmaid’s clearly possessed by a daemon.

Joey witnesses have twice tried to watchtower me up as I am running through my local.park….they’re keen in the spring…
One of your best yet, Author!
Yes, one of your finest, Author. Long life to Jesus and Mo!

@M27Holts: “parents/schools were (by law) not allowed to teach children anything that isn’t scientifically proven”.
So no music. No art. No literature. No philosophy. No ethics. No cultural studies.
(-;
I certainly think that schools shouldn’t be allowed to teach “Religious Instruction”.
The Art’s are usually taken up by children anyway. My father was a drummer is an avante gard jazz band.

Or am I just being a boring musical elitest that punk supposed to have obliiterated in 1976…

Aye. Trump is exactly as his name suggests, a horrendous stench in the under crackers of mankind…

@arbeyu & M27Holts
No reading, no writing, no imitation, no good manners. So much that is not scientifically proven…
