Wow! Quite risky!

And as expected the “usual” religious fruits and nuts are rearing their (empty) heads. Yep, get rid of your Cartoon Brew-bookmarks and good riddance!

ZAR.

I am writing from the heart of the Middle East where, as one might be aware, cartoons that mock people’s religious beliefs are taken as seriously as those that mock one’s race or sexual orientation are in North America. The image on your site is hurtful and neither particularly original nor witty.

I feel that I needed to make these comments and will delete my bookmark to the Cartoon Brew site.

I certainly agree with Bruce that it’s wrong to create hateful images, but here in the U.S.A., we’re “stuck” with a nasty little thing called the First Amendment.

Having been subjected to a heavy Christian childhood indoctrination that still leaves a bad taste in my mouth decades later, I don’t go around trying to annoy Christians, as tempting as it might be.

Some people have an innate desire (and ability) to believe in the supernatural, while others simply don’t. That’s no reason to get into a schoolyard-level fight over the matter.

Would humanity (poor old Hugh Mannity), be better off without mythological beliefs, except as a matter for academic study? I say yes, but then…

What about the kiddies (of whatever age) who can’t sleep without that particular night light on? Perhaps we secularists and rationalists ought to extend them a bit of kindness and understanding. As long as they return it, that is.

I’m not holding my breath.

Are you just trying to stir the pot or something? Have some respect for your readers sir.

Also, it’s funny how people of the ‘alternative lifestyle’ think it’s ok to produce art and hate like this. It’s wrong — very wrong.

taliban/christianity/scientology—all the same bunk. Fundamentalism of any kind is awful–and fundementally anti-democratic and anti-Constitutional. That’s why it’s great we live in a secular state, and we should all be glad and fight to the death for it to remain so.

Us nauseating Fundamentalist Christian revivalists thank you, P.P., for helping de-escalate the existing tensions between the religious and the secular communities. I guess.

Some years ago I came across a painting of Popeye on the cross, and that was around 1990 or so. These attempts to provoke the orthodox are nothing new, and although I have no love for organized religions (any of them), I prefer to let the believers stay on their side of the street, while I stay on mine.

Sometimes they won’t (especially in the U.S. ever since the election of Ronald Reagan in 1980 unleashed a nauseating Fundamentalist Christian revival that’s still going on), but that’s no reason to escalate the existing tensions between the religious and the secular communities, just because it’s so easy to do with artwork like this… it’s a cheap shot.

Haven’t we already got trouble enough?!
