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!

News Biscuit wrote:

Pope Benedict XVI has described the new coalition government between Nick Clegg and David Cameron as ‘an abomination’ and ‘an insidious, dangerous threat to society.’ Speaking to pilgrims at the shrine of St Jan of Moir, the 83-year-old pontiff declared: ‘Same sex coalitions are clearly proscribed in the Bible. Leviticus states that it is wrong for a man to ally with another man, even if it is in the national interest.’

The Pope’s comments are expected to cause serious tensions when he visits Britain in September. ‘His Holiness will find it difficult to deal with two men whom he knows are actively engaged in sordid and unseemly acts of coalition,’ said Archbishop Vincent Nichols, Head of the Catholic Church in England and Wales. ‘He may refuse to shake their hands and I very much doubt if he will let either man kiss his ring.’

Scholars debate what the Bible actually says about coalition. Dr Rowan Williams, the Archbishop of Canterbury, said: ‘Much of the text is open to interpretation and when it was written people did not fully understand about coalitions. However, Corinthians 6:9 does denounce fornicators, idolaters, adulterers, the effeminate, thieves, the covetous and drunkards – so I think we must admit that this covers most of the usual activities of Members of Parliament.’

When asked whether the Pope might reconsider his position, a Vatican spokesman said, ‘I very much doubt it. His Holiness strongly disapproves of same sex coalitions, but he really, really hates the idea of Con-Dems.’

Is anyone else disappointed by the slow progress of robots? Enough already - when are they going to give the human race a pasting?

The Adventures of God

I

God: Noah, all the people of earth are sinners. You alone are righteous.

Noah: Thanks God. Long time fan, first time prophet.

God: So, I have decided to smite the entire world with a flood.

(pause)

Noah: Couldn’t you just teach man goodness?

God: No. I’m thinking “flood”.

Noah: So you’d rather just kill every-

God: What part of “flood” do you not understand?

II

God: Moses…I have seen the plight of the Jews in Egypt.

Moses: Wow. Only after, uh, 400 years there, right?

God: Yes.

Moses: Awesome.

God: I will take you out of Egypt after ten terrible, terrible plagues.

Moses: …ten?

God: Is there a problem?

Moses: It’s just…ten is a lot. For, you know, God. Couldn’t you get this done in like, two plagues max?

God: No. For you see Moses, I will harden Pharaoh’s heart against me.

Moses: So…you are going to stop him from letting us free from slavery.

God: Yes.

Moses: So you can bring more terrible, terrible plagues upon the people.

God: Yes.

Moses: And you see nothing wrong with this picture?

God: ...

Moses: Are there any other God’s up there I can talk to?

III

Mary: Did you send the child support?

God: Frankincense and myrrh. Yeah.

Mary Annnnnd?

God: (sighs). And gold. And the gold.

Mary: That’s better.

IV

Job: …

God: Well, this is awkward.

V

God: Abraham, you must circumcise yourself.

Abraham: As you wish, my lord.

God: Oh my Me. He’s totally going to do it.

Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

My original response to that robot link was "The humans are deeeeaaaaad". I thought it too cryptic though.

I've actually been trying to teach my daughter that phrase when she points at the robot in her 100 word picture books.

Hey, who needs songs anyway?

From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

Some of my personal favourites are "Loudmouth Women," "High fullutent sophisticated swine" and their criminal use of apostrophes.

Idolaters might cover them...
I've noticed that many people forget that Hindu is the third major religion...
If you ask people what the three major religions of the world are they often say "Christianity, Islam and Judaism" but there are only about 14 million Jews

Can some one tell me what "P.K's"(sic) are?
When I think PK I think:
Player Killer, one that preys on other player in an MMO
Psychokinesis, moving things with the mind
pK, the negative log of a dissociation constant (like a pH)...
...

I also think of KP Skips... mmm skips....
