Epistemology is the field of studying human knowledge, so epistemological relativism means that you think, like Moses, that truth and knowledge are relative. Mo gets him by applying epistemological relativism to epistemological relativism 🙂
the great postmodernist fallacy… everything can’t be relative because relativism would also be relative (unless relativism is the ultimate truth and not self-applicable, in which case relativism becomes an instrument for political apathy… and control)…
Yeah, I printed it out and put it on my wall. Religious thinking may be bad, but it’s a blessing compared to extreme Po-mo litcrit, esoteric woowoo and magical thinking in general. When I hear some of my fellow atheists wishing for religion to vanish from the face of earth, I often think “be careful what you wish for”. Organized religion at least puts the irrational tendencies intrinsic to every human being into a controlled environment.

It’s probably too late to ask, Archophob, but which one?
On topic, sort of, I had a similar sense of “this is ridiculous” about Behavioural Psychology. If BP were true then the BP people would not be able to create BP because creating BP could not possibly be an evolved behaviour.
Fortunately, BP seems to have withered away quietly like phlogiston and phrenology.
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

brilliantly hilarious
The vicious circle continues…
Still funny though 😀
LOLZ
i like
Mo – the man with the plan
great spin on the old argument.
awesome spin 🙂
Such a great spin, in fact, that I am now staring at the back of my monitor
Haha fantastic
Best ever
Umm, I get a bit of what this means, but could a more well read member give me the skinny?

Ah.. do we see that Mo is becoming “Po-Mo”?
;-P
Very funny ;0)
I love it! Best in a long time :D!

“Organized religion at least puts the irrational…..”
….in other words, insane asylums are what makes insanity real?
uh, wow … a {play within a play} sort of ….
I need to get more sleep!
Lotsa fun!
@Blader:
No, insane asylums keep insanity off the streets.

In the same way teaching religion should be socialiced into public schools so that we don’t get fanatics teaching religion to little kids.

Not in UKxit, not since “care in the community”. Today, that’s what Parliaments are for.
It does seem to be working.
Best. Reply. Ever.

Solo Hands,
Mo’s reply to Moses’ mail, obviously.
