I’ve always been wary of saints. For example, I learned through my medieval research on “miraculous” cures imparted by saints, that Saint Hildegard prescribed this for any “libidinous man” who may have caught leprosy through his “sexual incontinence”: a bit of agrimony, and a “modicum stercoris gallinarum†(swan’s shit), and as much menstrual blood as you can find, mix well, and put him in a bath of this mixture.
She seemed to think that just because no one ever came back for a second treatment, that one application cured them. “Well, they never came back,” I imagine her saying to herself, “so I guess they’re cured!” Hildegard might’ve been saying to these lepers, “Oh you poor thing, let me cure you. I’ve got just the thing!” But I think she really meant, “Come here you dirty little leper. I’ll show you what you get for your filthy sinful ways…”
And battering up Indias image and making everyone think india is a poor country, when it was the riches of india that led to the discovery of america and the emergence of europe as a sea power…. Down with theresa…

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
