There's more than a few flaws in that assumption, which is the main joke. However what tickles me about the cartoon is that blowing yourself up with your own bomb has become such a popular pastime with the followers of his fellow protester.

Merry Blasphemy Day to one and all! Maybe it should be a holiday. The Center for Inquiry also had a slogan/verse competition running with the cartoon one, though both have now closed.

Religion IS blasphemy to we infidels isn't it. It is indeed a kind of psychological torture to us to have to daily experience the ridiculousness of religion, alive and well in the 21st century. Hm. Maybe this one is not so funny after all. Hold on! Religion IS blasphemy to we infidels isn’t it.

The logic of person a loving person b when person b was born after person a died matches so well with your typical creationist.
