A resurrection from 2008 today.

  2. Don’t worry β€” we know that the barmaid is talking when the speech bubbles (or speech squares) point downwards!

  7. Many people might say “I’ll believe it when I see it”, but with Jesus and Mo
    it’s a little different, and they express it as: “I’ll see it when I believe it”.
    Happy whatever equinox it is, more or less……

  10. The truth, an inconvienent invention
    But marketable by those suffering from anal retention
    Like green suckers sold to sheep
    To buy them they leap
    There’s one born every minute, I’ll mention.

  11. THE BARMAID’S LAMENT

    The difference between you and me,
    Mo and Jesus, is quite plain to see:
    You admit that you’re beat
    By endless defeat
    To one who strives to agree

  12. I’m not even sure if the likes of Jesus and Mo mean the same thing by the word ‘truth’ as the likes of Barmaid.

  13. It saddens me to bring news of the recent death of Christopher Hitchens. Whatever you think of his political affiliations, when it came to taking a stance against religious idiocy, the man was an inspiration.

    A quote from Hitchens himself: β€œThe only position that leaves me with no cognitive dissonance is atheism. It is not a creed. Death is certain, replacing both the siren-song of Paradise and the dread of Hell. Life on this earth, with all its mystery and beauty and pain, is then to be lived far more intensely: we stumble and get up, we are sad, confident, insecure, feel loneliness and joy and love. There is nothing more; but I want nothing more.”

    He will be missed.

  14. Just been reading Hitch’s obits over on RD.net. Our side has lost a giant, but rest assured he’s left us fully armed.
    God should thank his lucky stars that he’s non-existant, otherwise he’s be getting Hitch-slapped in person right about now.
    Farewell Hitch, you will be missed but I for one thank you and will focus on what you gave us, rather than what you had left to do.

  18. Shouldn’t Jesus and Mo be partying instead of wearing black? (Seriously, though, if there is to be any black in memory of Mr. Hitchens it should only be the lable of the Johnny Walker ue to toast him and all contrarians.) T_T / ^_^

  20. Hmm. Yet another cosmic tyrant.

    At least you have a good sense of humour. That’s something to be grateful for in a cosmic tyrant. That guy from the Abrahamic religions really is a twisted sort when it comes to humour.

  22. @DH, I’m hoping that one of The Hitch’s kids can follow in his footsteps. I’m already looking forward to seeing the headline…….”THE HITCH IS BACK”!
    Now that’s a resurrection the faith-heads won’t be too keen on.

  25. Just seen the 1st Hitch joke.
    It’s been confirmed that Hitch underwent a deathbed confession. He called for a Catholic priest and converted him to atheism.

  26. Being the dick I am, I got the 1st line wrong (curse you, morphine, ye can tek ma pain but ye canna tek ma brain!). It should of course read “….deathbed conversion”.

  28. From my inner dyslexic, “May his soul have mercy on god”. Of course this could be difficult, since as far as I can tell neither one of them actually exists.

  30. (Actually, that was a sexist remark, but I was just saying it ironically, Author. You know that, right? That’s a famous awful quote. I should’ve put the quote marks on!)
