For a split-second, just as you die,
You’ll know there’s no god in the sky.
All that stuff you believed?
You’ve been cruelly deceived.
All religions are built on a lie.
That is brilliant, Author. For those of you who don’t subscribe by email, Author has a lovely comment:
“That’s the thing about religious satire – it automatically delivers offence in the right dose: the amount of offence you take is exactly the amount you deserve.”
There’s a couple of old teasers by the names of Mo and Jesus,
In a comic, by the Author, every Wednesday on the net.
And with irony and reason he has never failed to please us,
It’s a take-down of religion that’s the best you’ll ever get!
With surgical precision Author takes his verbal scalpel,
And dissects the lies and other kinds of obfuscating crap,
Exposing with the greatest ease a lot of false dichotomies,
Which aim to lure the unsuspecting into ‘god’s’ man-trap!
have to wonder how Mo knows what ‘god’ actually looks like – as, if I recall it right, humans can’t actually see the face of ‘god’ without dying from the experience
It’s good the C. Hebdo still has the heart to continue. I though they would self-censor, I don’t think I could continue if i had survived that attack that day.
Charlie Chaplin said to respond to criticism of his spoof on NAZI gernany ‘The Great Dictator’ (1940) :” I am fighting Fascism with the only weapon I have, my comedy. My idea is to make these people look so stupid that people thinking of joining the party will think twice”.
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

Charlie’s mediocre cartoons
Offended a bunch of loons
Like the subhuman species
They flung their feces
Like what they are, filthy baboons.
They should put Allah on trial as well, for His threats to burn off the skins of the Unbelievers.
Succinct and to the point as always, gods created by man
I very much enjoy the J. & M. delivered to my inbox, thank you.
If any of these gawdz existed, they would have a lot to answer for, & deserve worship?…..not a chance!

excellent as usual! Mark Steyn has a pith comment (I attended the free speech event in Copenhagen in September that he mentions) http://www.steynonline.com/7402/clap-hands-there-goes-charlie
pithy 🙂

Another great one from Nasser as well.

Beautiful Author.
Sounds like the muse Thalia has come to the pub. Thanks, NBH, The WednesdayFrog, and drummer25!
And thank you, HFB–I don’t get J&M by email, so I wouldn’t have seen the Author’s comment if you hadn’t posted it. It’s definitely worth sharing.
