So...we now also know which comics Forest Fan reads...

Well at least she was, biologically speaking, a woman - in that she could conceive and give birth. Though the immaculate conception might cloud that argument. Let's just say the Holy Ghost was a rapist and Mohammed was a sexual deviant.

Gulp. Did someone say fatwa.

I guess the moral of the story is that all religions that began 1 or 2000 years ago will have 1 or 2000 year old morals, so there'll always be plenty of ammo for fundamentalists.

My other favourite bit of the comic was the contrast between Mohammed performing a miracle (liar!) and Jesus doing the same (hurray!). Oh yeah, and Adam couldn't possibly have been 40 foot tall, but god could make the world in seven days...that's some nice rational arguments you got there.

...and yet, the fact that the virgin Mary was no older than 14 (at the absolute maximum) when she was...well, raped by the Holy Ghost; this small factoid seems to have been avoided....

Eat, drink and be merry.

For tomorrow you may discover religion, and then you can't have any fun.

My favourite bit is when evil muslim man says "Why did you stop them?" while looking like a murderer.

Hmm, seems reasonably fair to say Mohammad was a paedolphile. It's in The Hadith: he took a liking to a girl of six, had sex with her when she was nine.

So yes, the cartoon didn't mention that it was (probably) standard practice at that time, but it still ain't right, even if it was a cultural norm.

I'd imagine so, considering they're christian books, written for christians, by a christian.

It would be kinda funny if they were advocating Islam.......

Isn't the bible the best way to "Find out why it's common sense to be a Christian and why everyone else burns in hell"?

It's funny to note that the bible claims some of the early people in it live to around 800 years old. Almost as good as the claim that Adam was 90 feet tall :-).
