It is amazing that a man who has never had sex in his life is allowed to tell others who is allowed to have sex and who is not.

After a long and depressing day, Jesus and Mo have once again really cheered me up.

This is the funniest thing I’ve read in a long time!

This is what is so great about editorial cartoonists; the ability to sum up a complex issue with just a few words and images with incredible wisdom.

All I can say is thanks.

I thought Mo would be in favour of male circumcision against the spread of this disease. It is truly the way of the prophet: mutilation for the betterment of the human condition.

Daoloth, Thanks; Is that Koran or Hadith? I knew that this op. was performed in Victorian times (see Alisdair Gray’s “Poor Things” for a fictional discussion) and I believe that the Kikuyu used to do it before they had much contact with the non-African cultures. As to weirdness, I’ve read The Golden Bough and that’s crammed with lunacy!

I think it was Bernard Shaw who described celibacy as the weirdest perversion of all. Whoever it was- it is amazing how this bunch of cassocked apes get listened to on the subject of sex.
BTW- a footnote to Submoron- Clitorerdectomies are very briefly mentioned by Mohammed:
“[A] woman used to perform circumcision in Medina. Muhammad said to her, ‘Do not cut severely as that is better for a woman and more desirable for a husband.’ This passage is in dispute. Umm ‘Atiyyah; Abu Dawud, al-Bayhaq (2007)
Less widely known- clitoredectomies were performed routinely on 1000s of women in the UK up until a sacndal involving Isaac Baker-Brown in the 19th Century- the scandal was that he publicised the practice, not that he did it.
We are a weird weird species.

I wrote about this same thing today, though not nearly as funny.

I think the pope looks more like Peter Lorre than a vampire.

I like the vampire fangs on the picture of the Pope. A nice touch

Catholic logic goes like this: It’s sad, but my hands are clean, as I’ve told them to be faithful and not have sex otherwise. But, as they obviously don’t listen, I wont bother to tell them to use condoms when they have sex, as they definitely won’t listen to that either. So I might as well tell them it’s a sin. Remember where I said they’re not listening? My hospitals care for them when they’re dying, everything else is their own responsibility. Sad. But I like them and extend my hand in friendship.

Silly religious man, meat left out for a week does NOT spontaneously generate maggots. I thought we figured that out already!

If the pope’s son would just come forth and identify himself, then we might have reason to think that Bennie is qualified to speak about sex and condoms. Just where do these putative celibates garner their expertise on this subject?

Just think how much would have to change before the pope et al. were acting in the best interests of all of humanity and the life we share this planet with.

How mixed up is it when the missionaries claim they are the ones saving the ignorant savages? The phrase should have been liars, damned liars and priests.

I see now why John has been falling out of favour as a baby name. I’ve never heard that particular expression before.
