The analogy I’m thinking of is a balloon. Things like, what maintains it is nothing but hot air or all it takes is one sharp fact or piece of evidence.
Natch! Why am I surprised it’s so easy? Religion is a method of social control, therefore control is the key and control freaks are a bunch of psychos… and the police….. and the licensing laws….. and teachers and parents and children and on and on and on. Whoops, what was the question?
Yep Johnnie, that’s right. Coz all the truth and evidence against religion really has made so many believers faulter.
A sharp fact may attack the basis of religion, but it’s unlikely to stop the believers. And that’s a fact! 😀
I was once told plainly that ‘God is at the centre of all things’.
I replied that I’d always wondered why people cut the middle out of donuts.
I was also told by the same person that ‘God was in every particle of the universe’.
I replied that she write to the CERN super-collidor and ask them to, upon their discovery of it, rename the Higgs Boson as ‘The Lord Your God’ particle. I told her it was the only chance of validating her claim.
Doughknots.
Knots of dough. Nothing to do with nuts.
Sprinkling nuts onto doughnuts is some sort of special blasphemy, just in case anyone was thinking of suggesting it. The one true doughnut (blame the spell-checker) has jam inside, is sprinkled with sugar and is eaten very warm. With tea.
I’ve seen “bagels” in shops. Even in the Blessed Land where all the gods live, the bottom bit of England, we get spurious bits of Americana sprouting randomly about. I’ve seen them but I didn’t know what to do with them nor what they were for so I didn’t buy any.
Doughnuts do not need to be high in fats and sucrose type sugar. It is possible to find gluten-free, low-fat, low-salt, low-sucrose doughnuts.
They are quite unpalatable.
Even seagulls eat them reluctantly.
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

The analogy I’m thinking of is a balloon. Things like, what maintains it is nothing but hot air or all it takes is one sharp fact or piece of evidence.
Thus the core of all religions is a bunch of psychos? Seems reasonable to me…
I’m hungry.

Maybe the purveyors of donuts ARE the suicide bombers. Killing us all with their fatty shite, just a little bit slower than explosives.
Yummy! Donuts…

dude… Why a donut? bagels don’t have holes in them?
I knew it all along, donuts are bad for you.
r00db00y, what “truth” is there against religion?
Sorry but I don’t believe in donuts !!

Killing me softly, with sprinkles…

Bagels won’t give you a heart attack. Also, more countries in the world have donuts. Some people I’ve met have never seen a bagel.
