@spoing.
If I’m not mistaken, muslims seem to believe that Mo is not a god himself, just a devinely speaking, infallible messenger sainty profet (lol) sorta like the catholics worship the pope for same reason. Not quite god, yet important enough to be a godly megaphone..
The utterly crazy trinity thing got invented by the roman branch of christianity around the 4th century, when certain babble writings were cannonised as the only true ones (in Rome of course, by the church and Ceze himself, what a coincidence..). Various other christian groups who were believing Jesus was just a prophet, not god himself, were then shut up, murdered or burned by the empire christianity (as so happened with the gnostics and arianists and many other *untrue* christians). Lots of blood was spilled over this insanity of belief that some dead prophet was in fact the same deity he was marketing for.

@author – pedantic correction time -> “She pointed to MY all-too-human facility …”

hm … that phrase sounds a bit suggestive out of context now that I think of it …

Nice to be referred back to some of those first strips. I had almost forgotten ‘tinks’ from 2005. Funny.

I just referred a whole bunch of folks to this website. I was reading a blog about the new Hubble pics and their comments section blew up with religion this, God that, Science this etc. I don’t know if we can collectively drag these people into the “KNOW”. As a matter of fact I think that is what the Author has created in us. (Bowing, Genuflecting, Praising, respectively…)

Author! Does Mo use the new I'm Haram search engine? Inquiring minds wish to know! Putting stuff into that search engine just to see the levels of objection is great fun: 'swine flu' is Haram level 1, for example!

@JohnnieCanuck – he certainly did (at least, John’s version of him). “I and the Father are one” etc etc. The Wiki “Trinity” article has a lot to say on this topic.
Mind you if you are going to make grandiose claims you might as make the most of it. Mo seems positively modest by comparison

Heh. Jesus’ default position is that self aggrandisement is a good thing. No surprise coming from a human character who claims to be the omnipotent, omniscient Creator of the Universe.

Actually, now that I think of it, does the claim that Jesus is part of the triune God ever get made by his character in the Bible?

…I canâ€™t quite see how humans would ever have come up with the rules if there had been no big stick to frighten them with.

Maggs, I may be misunderstanding you, but you seem to be suggesting that societal prohibitions against robbing, raping, murdering etc originate in belief in god. Is that what you mean? If so, how do countries with no tradition of believing in god(s) manage? Do you imagine that in god-free societies there are/were no rules against these type of things?

YourCatIsGod, For much of my life, the only time I saw that phrase written out, it was the wrong spelling, so don’t feel abashed. It wasn’t so long ago that I figured out the correct version. I now remember it because the original word was abated, before it got shortened to ‘bated and then bated.
