I was curious if anyone has any problems with poking fun at religion (Not to purposly offend any religious group, but just to give it that tasteless sense of humour about it we were forbibben to even think about when we were growing up).

I think making fun of religion is plain wrong.

Divine comedy by andydougan 7-09-01

Lord, I am not worthy to receive you, but only say the word and my soul will be healed. Hee hee! The blood of Christ. Aaaah ha ha ha ha!!! Okay, son, fun's over. Time for you to tell those poor people the truth. Five more minutes, dad, please...

I was shocked to hear that half of the country's population are of below average intelligence! What's the world coming to? You're a creationist, aren't you? How did you know?

Jesus surfs the net by Spankling 6-01-01

http://cannabisculture.com/backissues/cc11/christ.html   ?  "The ancient recipe for this anointing oil, recorded in the Old Testament book of Exodus (30: 22-23) included over nine pounds of flowering cannabis tops."   !  So did a little weed justify nailing me to a cross? It's time we normalized the law!

Unless I missed another...

A Day At The Gods' House by descolada99 4-30-01

God dear, did you do the laundry and take care of the yardwork while I was gone like I asked you to? Ummm.. no honey. I forgot. The guys came over to watch the game and I guess it just slipped my mind. All I did was ask you to do two simple things while I was gone. And you and your "godly" powers can't even do that? *mumbles* Christ you can be such a bitch sometimes. Don't bring your son into this! That's it.... you're on the couch tonight! I hate it when they fight....

Comic Contest 18: Gods In Retirement by descolada99 4-02-01

Gabe stumbles into the Altar To Anubis on his trip to Egypt Behold! I am Anubis, Egyptian God of embalming and protection of cemeteries! How dare you disturb my slumber! Dude... you've really slipped in your old age. Divine Worship not paying the bills? Shit.... I forgot to change. You caught me while performing at some 5 year old's birthday party. Life sure isn't what is uesed to be. I bet your mother likes it that way. You know, no more late night benders with Amen-Ra. Back off buddy! Just give that Jesus character a couple thousand more years. He'll probably be doing Van Halen covers at bar-mitsvahs.

Old Testament outtakes I by boorite 11-14-01

MOSES! MOSES, I AM THE LORD THY GOD. Iiii-ii-iii-ii! MOSES? Snff snff. iiii-ii-iiiii! Next time, I'm manifesting as something with eyes. Rookie mistake.

Now it all makes sense! by fuzzyman 10-18-01

You know, when you used that anti-gravity generator to walk across the water, that was great! Uh... thanks, but... And when you used the portable replicator to produce those loaves and fishes... that was brilliant! Yes, I know, but... Congratulations, Commander Riker! You've restored the timeline! Dammit, Geordi, get me down from here!

Now it all makes sense! Part 2 by fuzzyman 10-24-01

I mean it, Mr. LaForge! Get me down from here! No can do, Commander Riker! Why the hell not? Well, Captain Picard wants to tie up all the loose ends. The plan now is for you to die. Then Dr. Crusher will revive you after three days. This is because I substituted Sleepytime for Earl Grey in the replicator, isn't it? You're a real wit, sir.

Divine Intervention! II by KajunFirefly 6-30-01

Kajun asks God for advice.. Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallo, Kajun's the name. I was wondering, how do I get a girl into bed?? I asked Jesus, but he wasn't any help! Well, it took me a while to work this one out, but, basically the whole process involves Shepherds, Wisemen, a barn, various farm animals, an angel and an unsuspecting virgin! I was thinking more along the lines of getting her drunk then spouting cheese ball lines till she sucks me off in a taxi! Well, things were different in my day!

Best Chick tract ever

"I can't breath"? What does that mean? You'd think God would give Jack Chick the power to spell correctly.

How about "This is scarey!"?

---
Do you want ants? Because that's how you get ants.

Yeah. Maybe ol' Jack should get a ghost writer. If that's not considered sinful, that is.

Do you think we should ask Jack if he'll give us some characters for the stripcreator?

Incidentally, that Ezekiel reference is a load of shit. In fact, most of Chick's Bible references are taken out of context or are just plain wrong. I just love the idea that when your children are rebellious or individual, that means they are under the influence of Satan. These are obviously people who thought The Exorcist was a documentary.

I am planning a Chick tract parody, along these lines:

Jack - "It is bad and sinful to be a homosexual! Homosexuals are all Hell-bound!"

Me - "Oh... so you are saying that bad behaviour damns you to Hell?"

Jack - "Abso-darned-lutely!"

Me - "So... conversely, good behaviour gets you into Heaven?"

Jack - "Oh, no, only sinful Hell-bound Catholics believe that. Faith in Jesus is the only way to get to Heaven."

Me - "Wait a minute... are you saying that a homosexual Catholic with faith in Jesus will go to Heaven?"

Jack - "Uh... I... suppose so. But homosexuality is bad and Catholicism leads to faithin idols."

Me - "But does it matter?"

Jack - "Of course it matters!"

Me - "Why? You said yourself that faith in Jesus gets you into Heaven, regardless of what you do. As such, isn't it a waste of time telling everyone how homosexuality is bad, and Catholicism is bad, and Judaism is bad..."

Jack - "Hey! Jews don't recognise Jesus!"

Me - "Well, they have faith in God..."

Jack - "But not Jesus!"

Me - "I thought Jesus and God were the same person."

Etc etc etc...

Have I mentioned that I despise the little filthy little hatemonger?

The guys who run that Chick parody site would probably let us use some. I want that God-on-the-throne image as a background, with God only ever talking in narration boxes. :)

The Pearly Gate by ObiJo 11-22-01

I believe in you, Jesus. Come on in. I believe in you, Jesus. Come on in. I believe in you, Jesus. I want you off my porch.

Someone once told me that the old testament came about and said "do things this way or else" then the new testament came about and said "here, this is easier, follow this." In 2321, christianity will be about doing exactly whatever the hell you want to do and getting paid for it. The trend is clear. I know very few christians that actually listen to the bible. They accept the parts of it that are congruent to their own belief system, and dismiss the parts that don't fit. This is the evolution of religion. Religion is evolving itself out of existence.

Which, imo, is the natural and healthy course for mankind.
