This week’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “bite2”, is new but came out a bit late on Wednesday. In response to last week’s criticism of Islam, Mo now gets the chance to make fun of Christian ritual. He does a good job, but Jesus gets the last word.
Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ crackers

I had to look up “theophagous.” That’s fine.
Me too.
A remarkable word is ‘theophagus,’
When gods are consumed much like sausages,
It can plug god-shaped holes,
That dwell deep in your soul:
Just be sure not to clog your esophagus.
Amusing!
Excellent!
Don’t laugh! They take it very seriously.
Someone I knew was kicked out (her parents were encouraged to move her to a different school) of Catholic school for making fun of communion 🙂
As a nine-year-old I was sent to an Anglican boarding school.
My 9-year-old companions told me the ugly thing up front was a dead body – that they ate it on Sundays. I told my mother that we were being taught to be cannibals.
The ancient Romans accused Christians of drinking blood, an accusation that may have been inspired by Communion. Of course, as soon as Christians took over, they accused Jews of the same thing.
At least I was taught it was symbolic, as opposed to my Catholic friends who were told not to bite down on it before swallowing.
Oh my, I laughed out loud at that one. (Oops, “LOL”). Bite me…
The Catholic communion rite is another one of those things where it is impossible to understand how intelligent people can take this seriously. I guess that petulantly expelling a student from school is the only thing that makes sense when nothing about your absurdly concocted ritual does.
