The Funny Side of Religion

robindch · 2007-04-06 17:09:16

There are not many cartoons around which satirize religious ideas. Jesus and Mo' do their bit for the day that's in it: http://www.jesusandmo.net/2007/04/04/plan/ but are there more than just J+M? Post them if there are!

Hmm... a creationist who believes that evolution is true.

This way, please!

I never said I believed life could adapt itself to become another species;)

Well, tough because it does.

But yeah, that's all for the other thread.

I'm pretty gnostic when it comes to the concept of an Abrahamic god - no flippin' way is that bs true.

As Michael Nugent said in a (Canadian) radio interview I was listening to a few minutes ago, it's ludicrous to think that a universe of 100 billion galaxies each with 100 billion stars was put here just for us, one species on one little pale blue dot.

That's not to say that it's impossible that some sort of force, being or entity could exist outside our Universe, but if it's by definition not observable by us I think we should just get on with life and stop worrying about it.

Thinking back, given this was in 1983 it really must have pissed off alot of people in Ireland at the time. Especially when you consider the uproar over Fr Ted and that was the late 90's.

Though, likely explains why they banned it in Ireland for years

I think what I like most about that sketch is the fairness of it. If you were to just listen to the song, you'd be under the impression that this is bunch of brits lampooning and slagging off catholics. Then they slot in this lovely 3 minute sketch at the end of the repressed protestant woman and her painfully prudish husband, tut-tutting about the backwards catholics.

Monty Python really were great in the "I want to offend everyone equally" genre.

Hard to find anything on-line as we're talking about the mid 90's but essentially people bitched and moaned about it on the late late and other mediums, how they found it offensive etc.

Sure it took ages and ages for RTE to get up the courage to air it themselves,

My favourite bit is the whole protect sperm but send the born children off for medical testing.

Really rings true, even today, of the attitude of some people.

I've actually seen that image about five times, and every time thought, "Why would a Muslim woman be sitting beside a pile of trash bags?". It never occurred to me that the photo was trying to make a point.

Bloody camera phones, make me think everything is candid.

that a woman squatting in a bright blue burka looks similar to a plastic bag of an identical colour in a photo which is designed to achieve this conclusion anyway?

I think he already admitted to not immediately discerning the intent of the photo.

Sh1t, they got me figured out. It's true, I don't believe in anything AND I'm staying home on Sunday. They even got the cup of coffee right!

Maybe they're spying on me, it's like they've got someone watching me 24/7, someone who can almost read my thoughts.

Oh God noooooooooooooo!
