Thank you!
Typing messages in a forum in “text speak” makes baby Mohammed cry.
I think that guy a Christian only stuck it out for two days. Lets hope IIML continues to try and convert us for longer than that.
if you stop feeding it, it will leave
@FireFox
Amen, sibling.
Never say that atheists don’t care deeply about their cherished unbelief. Here we tend quite quickly to see off anyone who tries to beguile us with silly ideas that aren’t funny.
I don’t think IIML is a teenage girl. I think she is a 40 something woman. What she goes on about sounds so familiar to me; I have heard it all before: the science that is contained in the Qr’an etc. etc. Dearest IIML, please put me out of my misery, give us your proper first name or at least the first letter, min fadlik.
Rosemarie:
NONONO
if you stop feeding it, it will leave!!!!
@azurefrog – If she is a poe (what does that actually stand for?? parody-of-???), she’s had a pretty good run here. Personally I think there’s something too authentically naive about her style – she’s the real thing.
[...] Jesus&Mo ‘right on the money’ [...]
The Random Comic button is not working.
Nevermind.
It’s working again.
@spoing – Poe isn’t an acronym, the term comes from Poe’s Law:
http://rationalwiki.com/wiki/Poe
Are you sure about that? Have you read the Quran, from the same religion you claim is your life?
4:34 Men are the maintainers of women because Allah has made some of them to excel others and because they spend out of their property; the good women are therefore obedient, guarding the unseen as Allah has guarded; and (as to) those on whose part you fear desertion, admonish them, and leave them alone in the sleeping-places and beat them; then if they obey you, do not seek a way against them; surely Allah is High, Great.
2:223 Your wives are a tilth for you, so go into your tilth when you like, and do good beforehand for yourselves, and be careful (of your duty) to Allah, and know that you will meet Him, and give good news to the believers.
In Islamic law, Sharia, women are worth 1/2 as witnesses in a law court.
In Islamic law, Sharia, women inherit 1/2 compared to men.
you are delusional, if you believe that Islam considers women and man equal. (Specially sad since you said that you are a woman yourself)
wake up, and free yourself from bronze age dogmas. A man said that he could talk to god… and you believe it 1600 years later? why?
Why doesn’t god talk you or me or everyone else in their heads, like it did to mohammed?
why mohammed married Ayesha, at the age of six?
why mohammed lead an army, and dictated that who leaves Islam shall be punished by death?
how can you claim to hold any truth when leaving the religion carries a death sentence?
Most. Comments. Ever?
Oopppps we ground up another one…..
It’s official smallest posting on Jesus and Mo -2 largest 115 and counting….Praise be on to Author….(genuflect, respectfully)…
hey, we’re waiting for another jesus n mo here
i’m heart brokened, hurting inside and i sooo need jesus so very much!
This is as close to hell as I ever want to get. I can’t imagine no more Jesus and Mo. I have given burnt offerings unto Author, sacrifices have been made, prayers have been given and for what? Still gotta wait til Sept.
The Author will only have him/herself to blame if we all turn to god in their absence. A couple more weeks of this and we’ll all be babbling morons
I love the comments here, particularly in these difficult days of Author’s silence, and really want to read the previous ones for this strip (esp IIML + replies), but can’t seem to access them. Any hints anyone?
O Author, where art thou?
John Moore says that he has tried praying to Author, without effect so far (as far as we know).
What about augmenting the force of our petition by collective action (ie synchronised praying)? Would it be any good in the Olympics?
I propose that from 1200 to 1201 GMT Wednesday 26, we all implore Author to show us mercy by decreeing that August is over and that J&M are back to work.
@bossykate just above where you enter your Name you will see a link to previous comments. If you think these are good you should try and read some older posts as well. Good luck and hope you hold out for J&M’s epic return (the second coming?)
I’ve read the entire back catalogue of Jesus & Mo and am anxiously awaiting updates. I’ll be glad to join in the joint prayer session on the 26th.
Are we praying to Zeus or Apollo?
Thanks John Moore, I will keep faith and pray for the merciful Author to rise again…….
Hey folks, cut Author her/his break. This is difficult and dangerous work. Go back and read previous strips; you’ll find much you’ve missed, Poor Richard says.
I know that the author, perhaps more than any of us, deserves his/her holiday. That, of course, does not make it any easier for the rest of us.
Personally, I am eagerly awaiting the second coming of Jesus (and Mo).
Thanks @azurefrog for educating me there. The rationalwiki page wouldn’t load but urban dictionary was just as helpful. I don’t think IIML is a poe personally.
While author is out I think we should come up with ideas for how he can make the strip even more outrageous/hilarious. There are so many characters he could be introducing for comic effect … bring on Satan for Christ’s sake ! >8-)
@azurefrog. Thanks for that link, and the extra time I wasted following up all the related hyperlinks!
I believe you might have solved the whole issue of relgious argument. As soon as the argument goes bad they “hang lampshade on it”. Thus, our drawing attention to the suspension of disbelief issues in their arguments (God is mysterious” “God is ineffable”) is pointless. Its something that they already have anticipated. I think a similar move is made by:
1) Post-modernists when they “problematise” (ie are forced to admit they are talking crap)
2) Racists/sexists, who announce their ism by saying “I’m not racist(sexist) ..but…” and then go on to say someting ghastly
3) I once worked in a prison where there was a rule about not putting your feet on the seats in an interview area. Someone announced “I am not putting my feet on the seat” and then put their feet on the seat. At the time I was surprised…but now…
I think its like a magic spell. If you say the magic words then somehow rules don’t apply.
@ Daoloth I too have wondered about the plethora of characters available for Author (in his infinite wisdom) to chose from. Among the obvious Satan, Gaia, the Easter bunny and most importantly (drum roll please)…..Joseph Smith, Jr.
First frame typo – ‘is’ should be ‘as’.

I don’t want IIML to leave us – I enjoy playing with my food…
She say’s “have u travelled abroad 2 see what happened 2 d civilization who disbelieved in God ??” And cites Pharonic Egypt (although presumably any ‘dead’ civilization would do). Has she ever been to the Middle East, once the birthplace of many mighty empires? Does she know that Islam spread from there and once supported a civilization that reached from Spain to Indonesia? Has she looked at the Moslem world recently, and compared it to the (largely Christian) West? If I was a Christian, that’s the first counter argument I would deploy. If successful civilization is to be a measure of holiness, then your ‘God’ has evidently forsaken your people, Bride of the Prophet.
With respect to execution of apostates, IIML also gives us the benefit of Al-Ghashiya (20-26)
20) Remind them, for thou art but a remembrancer,
(21) Thou art not at all a warder over them.
(22) But whoso is averse and disbelieveth,
(23) Allah will punish him with direst punishment.
(24) Lo! unto Us is their return
(25) And Ours their reckoning. (26)
So what’s with all the killing? Can’t you leave your ‘God’ to sort out the sinners? Is he considered so incapable that human intercessionaries have to do his dirty work for him, even though he expressly asked them not to (though art not at all a warder over them… Allah will punish him)?
I don’t expect I’ll get an answer, though. Her last post read like a “goodbye forever” note pinned to the open back door
