Lots of old Byzantine icons show Jesus with a giant erect nodger. “A Man Entire” so to speak. In fact in the US some years ago someone did a modern icon in that guise and caused a big hoohah.
I’ve always thought it is bad form to attack the person rather than the ideas so I thought this was in questionable taste. However, I also like Jimmy Carr, and bad taste or not, it’s still funny.l
Catholics finally waking up to the ancient Hindu veneration of the lingam. I’ve also seen a depiction of the Virgin Mary in the form of the yoni. There’s hope for Papists yet.
Son of God, you say?
Indeed. Priapus, that is.
One straight-up rod god.
He is but one of many deities who may never appear in the Cock & Bull. Not for so long as Barmaid’s proscription against cockwombles still holds.
Welp, now we know why the women did all the bathing and…stuff…with the body after it was taken down for burial. Wonder if Mary Magdalene visited the tomb (“Just once more, I really need to mourn him privately…please…”) before the stone was rolled in place.
M27Holts, your inadmissible inarticulations and irreductible apothegms vie for supremacy in your colloquy. Would that your dialectical contortions do due diligence to the eschewing of obfuscation and opacity. Plus, your dangling participle is way off topic.
M27, I’m sorry. You are an erudite and upheld speaker of your dialect, and are esteemed by your international colleagues. I was wrong to accuse you of using a dangling participle. Here is an example of such… https://www.facebook.com/CollegeHumor/videos/404651338850896
I did Applied Marh, Pure Math, Physics and Chemistry at College and computer science at Salford University. Such things like a dangling participle were not in my syllabus….
When I bailed my swede out this morning, I anticipated a bit of an early finger-pie, but the doris was snoring like a snide exhaust pipe. So I decised that today I would have to settle on being a “low-light sprout merchant” and decided to shave my bonce….
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

Fnar, fnar!
He is risen indeed!
They always claim he was a hard act to follow.
The duel “death erection” and death resurrection of Christ prior to his encounter with Mary Magdalen. A time to celebrate.
*dual, whoopsie.
And many theological riches were unlocked in the sermon that day.

A danish artist, art historian and provocateur, Jens Jørgen Thorsem made this painting around 1970.

That’s not an erection – it’s the Roman soldier’s lance.
He’s not Messiah , he’s just a very naughty boy….
Not THE messiah….sorry
Catholics finally waking up to the ancient Hindu veneration of the lingam. I’ve also seen a depiction of the Virgin Mary in the form of the yoni. There’s hope for Papists yet.
That’s not an erectin … he had a banana in his robe in case he got hungry later
From the source article: ‘The investigation has been very recently completed and the complaint is upheld.’

I am thinking that I may yet have a multiple visitation by the three godesses of Nymphomania, otherwise known as a “Wet Dream”….
Welp, now we know why the women did all the bathing and…stuff…with the body after it was taken down for burial. Wonder if Mary Magdalene visited the tomb (“Just once more, I really need to mourn him privately…please…”) before the stone was rolled in place.
Anyway, this is the 21st century, we have viagra now….
Prfesser, that is where the term tumescent originated.
So crucifixion gives you an erection but hanging makes you come. It’s good that the species has become more civilised over time 😀
So when the consul wanted to hang his toga virulis up, he gad a geezer with a big norris nailed to a tree? Good job he didn”‘t own a bike as well….

I aim to spread Swinton erudition and vernacular to areas beyond my small village…..
I also read books (except romantic classics, mills n boon etc)…

As stiff as a corpse
M27, I admire your pursuit of the hard sciences. Where I am, here in the USA, we wish we had such an educational system as yours… https://metro.co.uk/2024/05/17/predator-teacher-rebecca-joynes-groomed-two-schoolboys-sex-20863327/?ico=metro-posts_article_whats-trending-now
My math tutors were all men I’m afraid…
M27, your remark reminds me of the Hitch quote, “Why was the quaker girl excommunicated?” “Too men a night.”
I must admit, I had to google that joke…far too subtle for me….
