Some anti-Christian cartoons


As an atheist I would like to consider a few anti-Christian cartoons as well, just so I am not accused of being partisan. In the light (but not necessarily "enlightenment") of the recent controversies in Kansas and Pennsylvania over the teaching of so-called "Intelligent Design" in the science curriculum I thought this cartoon had an interesting point - God as a pointy headed wizard playing with a plastic game of DNA trying to create the full spectrum of evolutionary development as depicted on the box:



Here is one, with a nice reference to Bob Dylan's savage anti-war song "With God on our Side", about christian conservative congressmen, sent to congress to clean up the corruption of the wicked godless liberal democrats, playing the very same game of pork barrel politics. We impatiently await the outcome of several court cases where such fundamentalist christian republicans have been indicted.





Here's one where many iconic figures - religious, political, and cultural - get the same treatment as the prophet did in one of the Danish newspaper's cartoons. Are these so shocking in comparison? As I said in a previous post, the "incendiary device" is in their heads and so suggests the explosive power of their ideas. Muslim martyrs who blow themselves and others up do so by strapping bombs to the chest or in the cars they drive, not to their heads. So a literal interpretation is implausible.
