12 thoughts on “Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ Justice”

  2. I think there was no difference between good and evil because the Garden was a completed whole – the apple, the fall, this fractured the whole into shards of the material world.

    The project according to nonspecified religious thought – which can be observed at times in obvious Bible thumpers as well as Elon Musk, Xi Jinping, et. al. – is to reunite the scattered fragments into an undifferentiated whole at a completion – the Omega point.

    A cosmic drama of rupture, exile, and repair.

  4. I wish I was half as fast as the barmaid in these Jesus n Mo cartoons. Then I would’ve had some smart comebacks when catholic friends where I grew up would try to bring me back into the fold. I was often not quick enough with what I knew to be correct – until 20 minutes later.

      1. Indeed, for so many of us — Staircase thought; afterwit. I’ll spare the wikipedia link, but quoting: “the predicament of thinking of the perfect reply too late”

  6. For an interesting and very entertaining review of the origins of the “fall” myth and the subsequent efforts, simultaneously comical and mortifying, at justification, see Stephen Greenblatt’s “The Rise and Fall of Adam and Eve”. Well worth reading.

  7. Reviewing “the Fall” in this cartoon – I know just about nothing about divinity – makes me see the whole thing as a metaphor: of course it would be paradise for anyone, if they never had to know the difference between, let alone judge, good vs. evil. Conversely, once that knowledge/judgment was acquired/learned, one no longer lives in a paradise, practically by definition. One must ask, why pine for this former paradise? To live within a complex society of people (that can procreate!) would seem vastly more interesting.
