Today’s strip was sent as a prescient Friday Flasback from 2022.
And, sure enough, Jesus takes Mo’s advice and comes out as trinary. An excellent strip!
Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ the Trinity

Sorry, I don’t get your comment.
I’m speaking “sublime” out loud, in that emphatic way.
The GIF is of the scene in Amadeus in when Salieri discovers Mozart’s written sheet music – Salieri is overwhelmed by Mozart’s genius, dropping the sheets to the floor.
This is all honestly my impression – not “ironic” as the kids say! 😁
PCC(E), short follow-up:
This made me want to see the scene from Amadeus again, so I found a clip : https://youtu.be/th_ro9CiASc?si=0isQSdCn_HMsLytL
The clip starts off with Mozart’s wife Costanze delivering Mozart’s hand-written sheet music portfolio to Salieri – the court composer – for review before performance. Such a great part of the movie, with a sampling of pure Mozart sound – classic scene!
Hopefully I can see the whole movie again soon .. but I digress
🎼🎶
… I’m watching it again now!…
I’ve long thought I should add to my email signature: “my pronouns are me, myself and I; you can call me whatever you want.” But I assume it would only be counter productive.
Although I never have (and never will) provide(d) “my pronouns”, I’ve joked that they’d be “I Me Mine” in homage to The Beatles.
Good one! I still struggle with suppressing a reflexive eye-roll when I see the boring cis- pronouns, and also the enigmatic ones (Xe? Xyr?).
Xenon?

Brilliant!
The explanations of the Trinity (how can the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost simultaneously be three things AND one thing?) do sound suspiciously similar to explanations of transgender identities (how can someone simultaneously be male AND a woman?) Add “non-binary” into the mix and now, like the sophisticated God, someone can only be described via negativa — by what they are NOT, and never by what they ARE.
🪡
(I’m trying that instead of 🎯… like accurate, but on another level)…
PS
Might find this pair of theologies interesting :
Apophatic theology
Cataphatic theology
.. but actually I think this is exactly what you are referring to…
I’ve got my adjectives on my X profile:
lambent/deliquescent/eldritch.
Great strip.
So Jesus is using an Apple monitor? The only monitor Apple makes that I’m aware of is their studio display, so basically, Jesus is rich. No surprise, right?
Adam
Eve
Serpent
Garden of Good and Evil
… what was at the center of all that?
🍎
… Jesus factors in there somehow…
