The new Jesus and Mo strip, called “dread2,” came with this note (take a look at what Jesus and Mo are reading):
Another resurrection this week, this time from 2009.
Jesus clearly isn’t thinking too hard. On the other hand, since Jesus is supposed to be God incarnate, he surely accepts God’s existence on the premise, “I think therefore I am.”
I thought He works through people. A friend of mine was told that the Holy Spirit works though him. He was told that the HS was responsible for the good thoughts that popped into his head, not the bad ones. Some people fall for this sort of thing.
I like the first panel. I think it could easily stand alone.
It would make a fun postcard.
God is just too oxymoronically drunk on his infinite power to do anything.
“I can do anything, so why do anything?” I kinda get it. 🙂
The boys always have such interesting bedtime reading material.
God obviously is in need of his little helpers on this planet, He could (eg.) not strike down himself on Charlie Hebdo (formerly Harakiri), so he used some muslim fanatics as his little helpers. Great strategy, I’d say.
As Matt Dillahunty enlightened me years ago, the problem of “divine hiddenness” is actually much more vexing for Abrahamic believers than the ever-popular “problem of evil,” which can be waved off by a number of facile, but handy, excuses.
And why has that divine hiddenness got more pronounced over time? In biblical times we are asked to believe that God was continually getting involved in earthly affairs but in more recent times, apart from the occasional peasant girl’s ‘vision’ or the odd ‘inexplicable’ recovery from illness, he maintains a very low profile.
