Loving the Kirby Dots.

everything that's wrong with our country today is President Carter's fault. President Carter ruined everything between Mexico and Canada, and now he's going right straight to Hell.

Or at least that seems to be the new Republican talking point which is now mentioned on every single Fox program, 24/7. Just ask Karl Rove: Carter did it. God-Man should cleanse the World by destroying President Carter with nuclear lightning bolts, then go after President Obama just as soon as his poll numbers come down a tad.

Better run, Jimmy! God-Man and Karl are comin' for ya.

Jesus Christ, fighting about religion in the letters section about this comic just gives Mr. Bolling more material... which is GREAT, come to think of it!!!

Hee! Yes. Part of the great experience of reading some of Bolling's better comics is that someone often comes along to reenact exactly the kind of foolishness that Bolling is satirizing in the comments section. The comic is penetrating the fourth wall.

People might have gotten the parody of the watchman down to Rorschach's "stinking cesspool" line and the Comedian chomping on his cigar.

He has instructed His mouthpieces to alarm His followers that they may stockpile assault weapons and ammunition to prepare for the "New" Civil War to take the country back from the Liberals while they are preoccupied with Universal Health Care.

or other similar of Bollings like God-Boosters club versus God-Man fan club.

God-Man! You really shouldn't smoke! Don't you know it's bad for your health!?

Aren't you the folk always carping we're NOT a Judeo-Christian country, anyhow? We're just Christian. At least that's the standard rip-n-read from Salon's affiliates At Sturm, Drang, Nacht und Nebel.

Yes, yes, the JEW god is so harsh. That explains a lot, in Salon-cukoo-land.

The link below is to a sculpture depicting it. It was commissioned for Kent State University to commemorate May 4, 1970, but rejected as too controversial. Instead, it resides at Princeton.

The far right christians ignore the new testament anyway. What with all the loving of others and everything.

Wasn't THAT an awkward conversation to have as they came back down the mountain?

"Dad? Just run that story by me again..."

I also think the panel with the 'kill your kid' line was riffing off of Abraham & Issac.

Sorry, Electro-Blowfish, that is a part of Judiaism.

"Could it be that the whole 'kill your son' thing refers to Abraham and Isaac?"

I don't see how the joke would make any sense otherwise.

Could it be that the whole "kill your son" thing refers to Abraham and Isaac? That's very Old Testament. At the last minute, God didn't let Abraham follow through, but old Abraham was more than willing.

"Nice swipe at the jews. Oh sure the God of the Torah is a tough nut. But he didn't actually kill his own son. That's your God's forte." I thought you guys and the romans did that.

I'm presently actively seeking a new magical, invisible, friend, since my latest one demands waaaaay too much from me in exchange for what I've noticed are questionable or outright nonexistent rewards. (Much like Godman)

Anyone having better luck with their magical, invisible, friends please post the requirments and demands of the entity and it'll help me out a lot. Thanks.

I don't think God Man has ever been depicted as specifically Christian (the old testiment refernce aside) but more a symbol of the notion of condenseing the devine into human terms, and of human interpretations of events.

I don't think he's even meant to specifically serve as a "flying spagetti monster" lampooning the idea of divinity, but more a lampooning of man's desire to fit divinity into a small prescribed cosmic place.

Of course, that's just my opinion on the subject.

Oh sure the God of the Torah is a tough nut. But he didn't actually kill his own son. That's your God's forte.

you're going to offend Terry Eagleton and all the other pomo Christian apologist zombies who will indignantly insist that you simply don't understand God.

I'm thinking Javier Bardem.

That kicked ass! Can't wait for God-Man II, Aardvark Man's Revenge! (hmm, that wouldn't be Cerebus the Aardvark's ghost would it?).
