This link below is to the most accurate, focussed piece I’ve seen on the self-congratulatory, self righteous modern woke Cancel Culture. It mentions my namesake Jesus. It’s the endspeech from a recent Bill Maher show.
The first time I encountered the traditional Jeezoid cancel culture (decades ago), the Catholic Legion of Decency was bleating rage about a new movie, “Night of the Living Dead.” It took me a long time to find and view it and I still can’t see why it might be BAD. I thought it was great.
ParaDoctor :o) – You are invited to join 2500 volunteers needed to act as “refugees” aboard the bark “Trojan Horse” being fitted out at Calais to cross the English channel to England shortly.
The plan is to send distress signals that “Trojan Horse” is in difficulties while still close to the French coast. The British coastguard are then certain to take it in tow to Dover docks where all the refugees will be welcomed to live under sharia law.
Interested? Contact the BBC (Proms Dept) who consider it unlikely that the British authorities will notice the irony.
I am reflecting on the situation of life, after quaffing strong IPA ales….and realising that most opinion is based on a minimal of first person experience…..in other words none of us know sweet f.a…..goodnight…ahhh my pizza has arrived…
A Shropshire guy did sadly sigh
that malt does more than Milton can
to justify God’s ways to Man.
Now, to his cry, I do reply
that pot can outdo poetry
to justify Man’s ways to me.

Keep up the good work of this comic, I will keep lurking (and, at odd times, commenting).

As someone who works in customer service, this is the blinkered attitude I face everyday, from almost every person I deal with, whether the complaint is justified or not. For example, I cannot tell you how many times I have seen and heard the words, “You can’t just keep using the pandemic as an excuse,” or phrases to that effect, even though our services, staff and national facilities have been directly impacted by Covid, and will remain this way for a long time.
We even had someone recently threaten staff with corporal punishment, claim they’d sue the company for treason and invoke the Magna Carta as justification for their complaint. All because they didn’t receive a package on time. Monty Python couldn’t have made this shit up.
I refer to my job and the enervation that goes with it because I can easily imagine the entitlement I and my colleagues suffer from most of our clientele runs to other aspects of their personality, including religious and political views. I’ve copped many an earful of such views before and sometimes I don’t care much, best to let them vent, but the more aggravating ones are harder to steer because they will quickly raise complaints against you and demand management; and sometimes, they can have it. I’m not paid enough to deal with such drivel.
I guess it all boils down to how passionate you are about a subject or outlook. This year more than any other in my memory (I’m not yet 40) has really underlined passionate ignorance and arrogance abound.
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

Are Jesus and Mo only available in Black and white?
Gimme that old time woke-itude!
Mockingbird: religion is only available in black and white.

It looks like some posters irony meters are as broken as J&M’s

M27Holts, it sounds like you’re saying “malt does more than Milton can to justify God’s ways to man.”.
Are you from Shropshire?
