Jesus returns, and his followers prove that they can be as violent and barbaric as their enemies, the (other) radical religious fundamentalists. ‘Impossible!’ you say, the Second Coming of Christ is the big event mankind has been awaiting for over 2,000 years, we’ll know him when we see him! It’s commonly accepted that the patient teacher of love and tolerance will be greeted with exultation.
All of that could be true unless JC got a lot of misguided advice, and his timing was tragically off. In this cartoon tragedy of errors, Christ is advised to show up looking just as he did in life. People are waiting for the anglicized image artists have created, which somewhat resembles Patrick Swayze with the addition of long, flowing locks. When a dark complected ‘foreigner’ in a robe in sandals appears at La Guardia, and announces: “Christians of LaGuardia, I am here to send you to Kingdom come!” Frankly, all Hell breaks loose.
We’ve been fighting radical ‘religious’ terrorists since 9/11…And we often do it without discriminating between the innocent and those who are the true radical poopyheads. After all, you’ve got to break a few eggs (or children) if you want to make a ‘freedom’ omelet. We just shoot or water board ’em all, and let God sort ’em out.
Although they’re preaching to the choir on liberal leaning sites like this, there is always a chance that a right-winger will fly over, and disagree heartily. The creators of this cartoon wrap up the message and tie it with a bow.
“When people depict your religion as being violent and barbaric, the worst way to prove them wrong is with violence and barbarism.”
