Mo’s right. A Muslim sitting side by side with a Jew, just sitting quietly in the evening hours, looking at the full moon in the sky without a word of violence toward each other due to religious beliefs. It’s a shame that our real world will never be this kind to the rest of us.
But honestly, I’m with tie. I wanna see Mo split the moon.
I’d like to see him try to split the moon, but only because I know he’d fail.
Should he succeed, well, each hemisphere would collapse into a new sphere and an awful lot of rock would go flying. We’d see first hand the creation of a ring system and also be treated to some very exciting meteorite events. Very exciting. Their effect on the atmosphere would probably put all fears of global warming out of mind.
Funny how the last time he did it, no-one noticed all the spectacular side effects.
Their ancient lies are so transparent in the light of science. It occurs to me that not only is it better to keep silent and only be thought a fool, writing it down so it can be read millennia later, is even worse than just opening one’s mouth.
Now we have Ben Stein, who even provides recordings of himself telling lies. Who knows how far into the future the evidence of his lies will persist?
I might agree to go to heaven now that Kurt Vonnegut is there. A most cheerful nihilist, and how he did encourage us in so many dark hours!

If that isn’t nice . . . . Don’t worry – Poor Richard gives highest priority to nice. It’s a beautiful day in Michigan, and the water is up.
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

A very nice thought from Mr Trout.
And you know, I do try to notice and say this when things are good.

Yes
Moon, 1 — Dogma, zip
Sometimes noticing is what makes it good.
I mean, c’mon, we’re all lottery winners here. We get to be alive and most stuff doesn’t.
I’d like to be my cat. That would be nice.
how random…
My favorite comic references my favorite author… super

Thanks for the link, author. Your work is always funny, but as a humanist myself, that was a genuinely pleasant read.

Ahh – that’s sweet.
That looks like Primrose Hill. There’s a bench perched at the top of Primrose Hill just like that.
I like Cock and Bull story once in a while.
Now for something completely indifferent.
