Lax parenting! I suppose ‘he’ DID compensate later, by flooding the entire planet and murdering everyone but Noah and a few hangers-on. Floaters-on might be a better term.
Love the final line in the original Bedazzled, with Peter Cook & Dudley Moore, where Cook as Satan tells God, “You’re unbelievable!” And belief is exactly what gods need to continue to exist. Pile on the catalogue of absurdities; perhaps one day we’ll rid ourselves of the ridiculous.
If you read the brilliant Pratchett “Disc World” fictional novels (just in case you are a religious knob-sproket reading this) you will find that the gods in the stories, cease to exist once they have nobody believing in them…
God lied and the serpent told the truth and was punished for it. A and E, who didn’t actually know right from wrong were punished for believing the truth – along with their innocent descendents forever. Real evidence of a ‘loving’ father.
And if the big man made it all and was all knowing he knew what was coming anyway.
I’ve probably mentioned this before, one of the variety of Gnostic heresies maintains that the serpent was like Jesus a representative of the true god, offering liberation from the Yahweh evil demigod who has us trapped in his vile creation. It was a good story, but unfortunately without good tie-ins for viable ministry business, etc. Getting burned alive by the mainstream church was also unpopular.
Lord of the Rings is a far better story….get older kids reading Terry Pratchett too…I am thinking of starting a religion, based on the prophet Pratchett and his comedic teachings….🤔
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

It’s not god’s fault. Blame it on free will. At least that’s what the godbotherers say.
