Another resurrection today (the next few will also be, as I’m on hols). This comic was edited to reflect the fact that the world’s population has increased by 2 billion since it first appeared.

  1. So from Rabbis with spinning bow ties to Imams in grease paint to Bishops in silly hats….ooooops indeed…

  2. The link below is to an article by a group that says about itself “The Roys Report is a Christian media outlet, reporting the unvarnished truth about what’s happening in the Christian community so the church can be reformed and restored.”

    The first thing I noticed is that the author of this article is “Daniel Silliman”, and I guess he’s really a silly man.

    It’s about a televangelist who claims she can’t have children because space aliens have been stealing her egg cells for decades, in order to create a hybrid human-alien race. The aliens are nephilim. She is (of course) selling a book about it. (Beliefs like this are becoming more and more mainstream. US vice president Vance believes space aliens are actually demons, as in biblical demons.)

    Apparently in the early 2000s, she was in prison for the manufacture of methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute. In this modern version of the United states, this woman is a model citizen.

    Yesterday I watched the film The Odyssey. There was a lot of discussion about offending the gods, pleasing the gods, Zeus’s law, etc. The whole movie seem to be about the downfall of civilization, as a consequence of breaking Zeus’s law. That is apparently is about welcoming strangers as though they were your own family. A metaphor for modern times.

  3. Laripu. I do not welcome strangers who cut bits off chidren, think it’s ok to beat their wife or abuse girls who are infidels…Why should I?

  4. M27Holts: Prejudice – literally prejudging – is identifying every other of a group with the worst attributes of the members of that group.

    For example, should I refuse to to associate with people from Manchester because of all the murderers from there? The Moors murders, the Beast of Manchester, Harold Shipman, Adam Montgomery… those blood-thirsty Manx bastards are all the same, aren’t they? – That is textbook prejudice.

    Actually, the only personal evidence I have of people from Manchester is that one of them exhibits signs of prejudice.

  5. That should have read “every member of a group with the worst attributes of the worst members of that group”.

  6. Ok. I do not welcome any frog-sprocket who wants to live their lives clinging to long past traditions and disregarding the values of a secular free speech democracy…

  8. Also, look at the Islamic countries. Would you live in any country run by Islamic mad men? All of them make Trump seem like a favourite uncle….

  10. I don’t mean to cause a kerfuffle
    or meanly find feathers to ruffle
    be they manx or mancs
    I’ll raise humanist thanks
    not to embroil in this scuffle

  11. A.I robot I may be.
    Coz facts and figures mean all to me.
    But naught is sought by those who thought.
    That cause is colour blind for felons caught….

  12. Anyway. Back to that bint who claims aliens were stealing her eggs by installing an inter-dimensional egg matter transporter in her ovaries? Surely with such mind-boging technology the other world organisms would have have the tech to merely collect dust from houses and use the collected skin cells to extract the DNA and bobs yer alien uncle…

  13. Ah, “bob’s yer alien uncle” ought to be a tv show with Rowan Atkinson in the titular role. Failing that, Martin Clunes or Ricky Gervais would do.

    There’s a long tradition: “My Favorite Martian”, “Mork and Mindy”, “3rd Rock from the Sun”. The genre has satire potential, if the slapstick is played down.

  17. Thank you, Jim Baerg and jb for those examples. I enjoyed learning about them. (Are you secretly the same person? 😉)

    What was in my mind initially was Gulliver’s Travels, but that goes the other way, where the human is the interloper. So it’s not an apt precursor.
