As a Dane I’d like to thank everybody for their support on the 4th anniversary of the Muhammed-cartoons (you do realize that is why today is Blasphemy Day, right?).
By all written accounts, I think gOD has been more of a genocidal maniac than any human has ever been, Hitler included.
I think turkey and presents are a great idea! And maybe ham, shellfish and any other forbidden foods. Send your wish list to Father Blasphemy, c/o Al-Masjid al-Haram, Mecca
Hurrah for the Danes! (For anyone who has to look up “Hurrah,” it’s an exclamation of support, also spelled “Hoorah” or “Hooray.” But “Hooray” is pronounced slightly differently. I’ll stop now.)
Today in many parts of Canada, many Catholic churches are getting rid of holy water and serving the communion host into the recipients hand (not the mouth). Is it blasphemy to suggest that the body and blood of ourlordandsaviorjesuschrist could transmit a disease?
Happy blasphemy day- godlessness bless us one and all!
Just a thought- there is a competition for a blasphemous cartoon- http://www.centerforinquiry.net/campaign_for_free_expression

I am sure author is too modest to put her or himself forward but that is no need for the rest of us to do so. Perhaps we could vote for the most blasphemous of JaMo cartoons (so many to read, so little time!) and put it forward.

I like the reversal of the creationist view that Hitler loves Darwin to Darwin loves Hitler. The logic of person a loving person b when person b was born after person a died matches so well with your typical creationist.
Hold on! 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.
The next time soeone tries the Darwin/Hitler line try this site out for size: http://nobeliefs.com/nazis.htm
Scroll down a bit and there is a lovely set of devotional christian paintings by one A. Hitler. Suitable for Xmas and oter religious holidays? Hallmark, take note.
Jesus’ use of “Hoist by one’s own petard” is appropriate given his assumption that what they are doing is using satire and ridicule against blasphemers.
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.
i just realized that if your url was meant to be one of those swanky continues-the-word-after-the-dot types (yes, i know it’s called a top level domain), this comic would be called “jesus and monet”, which might make it slightly less funny. i’m not sure why i’m telling you this. please disregard this comment.
Jesus & Mo (the characters) are absurd, blinkered, and oddly very sweet. J&M (the cartoon) is brilliant: sharp, delicious, irresistible. Salman Rushdie
Jesus and Mo cartoons are wonderfully funny and true. Richard Dawkins
Jesus and Mo make the world a better place, bless their little hearts. Ophelia Benson
In a world defined by outrage and offence and liberal spinelessness, Jesus and Mo is a treasure, whose value we should never fail to recognize. Read them. Laugh. And think. Kenan Malik
The brilliant, celebrated, freaking hilarious atheist comic strip ... Greta Christina
...rays of sanity in a befuddled world. Keri Hulme
The liveliest depictions of Muhammad currently available... Malise Ruthven
J & Mo is the funniest and most consistently thought-provoking cartoon strip on the Net. In a saner world, it would run in a major newspaper. Nelson Jones, Heresy Corner
Consistently amusing, frequently thought-provoking and often heart-warming. New Humanist
Jesus & Mo is one of the most wonderful things on the internet.. JT Eberhard
Wittily captures much of the absurdity of religious apologetics. Mano Singham
I love jesusandmo.net cartoons - witty and sharp! Katha Pollitt
Often hilarious, frequently wry, these cartoons do what all the best cartoons do: they tell the truth through humour. Terry Sanderson, NSS President
...a wonderfully acid British cartoonist... Nick Cohen
I love the scrappy mockery of Jesus and Mo. Freedom of speech
includes the freedom to mock any person, any thing, any activity, and
any belief -- and J&M stands up for this unflinchingly Richard Stallman
...empowering, important and deeply progressive, not to mention hilarious... Council of Ex-Muslims
...humor is humor and this cartoonist doesn't have it.Karl Giberson

AAAAARGHHH! Stop it, stop it – I cannot stand anymore roflolmao
well done author, you don’t dissapoint. happy blasphemy day one and all 🙂
That’s shown us , eh ? Enjoy your blasphemy today 🙂
Wait, isn’t this *everyday* for most fundamentalists anyway?
As a Dane I’d like to thank everybody for their support on the 4th anniversary of the Muhammed-cartoons (you do realize that is why today is Blasphemy Day, right?).
do we get turkey and things?
And presents?
I deny the existence of the Holy Spirit. I’m quite happy to worship bottled spirits though.
Happy Blasphemy Day!
WilliamJansen, we’re celebrating the brave Danes who published Mo’s pictures. Also, just to piss off fundamentalists everywhere.
Absolutely brilliant. Love the “pfft” (though I had to look it up).
As well as being a genocidal maniac, Hitler was also a necrophiliac? What a sick bastard he was. Long live unbelievolution!

I’m offended… deeply! Let’s the stoning begin… oh, wait…
This dyslexic canine has hydrophobia!

I’m so sorry!!!
I have always maintained that if you don’t want people laughing at your beleifs, then don’t have funny beleifs!
Happy Jesus-fucking, Mahomet-buggering, Vishnu-bastard, Buddha-arseholing, god-bastarding Blasphemy Day folks!
(apologies if this shows up twice; when I sent it the first time it didn’t show – hmm, which of the above have I pissed off?)
Blaspheme for Jesus’ sake

Happy Blasphemy day! (again) – it was blasphemy day for me yesterday (since I live in Australia), but i’m happy to celebrate it again 🙂
Jesust H Christ Almighty, that one was funny!

Oh, heck, I missed it. But then I do a little blaspheming every day – in my head anyway.

The Center for Inquiry also had a slogan/verse competition running with the cartoon one, though both have now closed.
Merry Blasphemy Day to one and all! Maybe it should be a holiday.
I missed international blasphemy day again?
Christ on a bleeding crutch……
Goddammitall, I hate when that happens!
Not a single comment about the phrase “hoist by their own petard”? Good.
Jesus’ use of “Hoist by one’s own petard” is appropriate given his assumption that what they are doing is using satire and ridicule against blasphemers.

Can I commit blasphemy if I don’t believe?
