Today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “parts” came with a link and a comment:

The original story is here.  Check out the photo of the naughty priest.

And the email from the artist added, “That priest’s mischievous face is the funniest thing about this story.”

An excerptfrom the story, which appeared in Metro:

Father Thomas McHale, priest at Our Blessed Lady Immaculate in Blackhill, Consett, County Durham, shocked his flock by claiming during his Good Friday sermon that Jesus died with an erection.

The 53-year-old American prelate told the roughly 100 gathered that execution by crucifixion would have sent all the blood rushing down to Christ’s lower body.

One dismayed worshipper told The Times: ‘He told people Jesus died with an erection. The church was shocked. There were young families there.’

Oy! Here’s the strip: both the barmaid and Mo both take the mickey out of Jesus.

Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ death

Today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “death”, came with a note from the artist:

This topic is hot in the UK again, so here’s a flashback first published 16 years ago.

The stripo instantiates one of the big problems of faith: if you believe you have the absolute truth, that your truth comes with a specified moral code, and that what is at stake is eternal life or punishment, you are almost forced to proselytize.

Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ Whoa

April 17, 2024 • 8:15 am

In the new Jesus and Mo strip, called “Whoa,” the barmaid compares modern-day versions of Christianity and Islam, and judges Islam as palpably worse for humanity. In that she agrees with Richard Dawkins, though not with those sophists who simply cannot admit that one religion can have more pernicious effects on the modern world than another.

The artists’s comment in the post: “It is worse.”

Jesus ‘n’ Mo ‘n’ pebbles

Today’s Jesus and Mo strip, called “rogues”,  came with an email note:

It must be true. It’s in a hadith!

Yep, it’s the old “turtles all the way down” answer to the question “But who made “Allah,”, except this time delivered with pebbles!

And here’s that hadith:

The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said to me: they (the people) will constantly ask you, Abu Huraira, (about different things pertaining to religion) then they would say: Well, there is Allah, but after all who created Allah? He (Abu Huraira) narrated: Once we were in the mosque that some of the Bedouins came there and said: Well, there is Allah, but who created Allah? He (the narrator) said: I took hold of the pebbles in my fist and flung at them and remarked: Stand up, stand up (go away) my friend (the Holy Prophet) told the truth.
