I just saw this cartoon a few minutes ago and spluttered my Cheerios over the breakfast table. I thought, “Oh, PZ has got to see this!” And, as God intended, he did.
Now … what’s that on the ground right behind God?
Kylesays
Absolutely hilarious.
I also love the stick of dynamite behind the sign.
Dan Piraro has a blog? Oh deary me, I think I may swoon.
Ooh, and it gets even better with this bit from the first blog entry:
I had a blog on MySpace for a while and it made my colon throb. And not in a good way. So, at the helpful advice of many of you, my readers, I abandoned it like the religion I was raised in and moved over to Blogger. I pray to the multitude of gods I no longer believe in (proud atheist) that it treats me – and you – well.

What’s with the piece of pie on the ground in the lower right?
The Other Dan from Milwaukeesays
The pie (and the bird, alien, etc.) are sort of a long in-joke for the readers of his cartoon – or maybe it promotes his books. I forget. Great cartoon though.
Dan includes a small number of recurring Secret Symbols in his cartoons. Note the small number above his signature (“3” in this comic). That tells you how many symbols to look for.
Sure, but you know some are only going to complain that God is also in the human heart.
These ideas are extremely malleable, meaning that often the fact that God is “in our minds” is pretended to be evidence that the idea of God is an innate concept which is due to, yes, God.
Fantastic — that was one of my favorite questions to ask in high school: “Did God create man in his own image, or did Man create god in his own image?”
Hey! Piraro stole my idea! I drew this cartoon years ago while I was under the influence of mumble.
What? It’s not a personally unique and paradigm shifting idea? But I thought at the time that . . . never mind. I’ll just have to start all oven now. Damn.

Evolution is how life works. Compounded evolutionairy geneorational development. Each new genoration of life must adapt and advance in order to surrive. Evolution is ever present, everywhere, allways. There is a very significant advaned pre historic biological discovery. The Hallettestoneion Seazoria Dragons will shed much light on the subect of compounded evolution. The Hallettestonion Seazoria dragons of from an ealier era in earth history becomming extinct 540 million years ago. frozen alive laying on their stomacks and chins upright. skull,teeth, body. 130 to 300 ft. The Hallettestoneion Seazoria dragons are thosands and thousands of genorations more evolved than the land dinosuars.
View photos of the skull matrix excavation of Hillfieldion Seazoria (skull and Teeth) at wwwhszoria or you can google the Hallettestonion Research Project using the keywords prehistoric sea dragons.
Working in the field (7500 hrs) with the discovery, study, mapping, and skull matrix excavation aspects of large scale Hallettestoneion Seazoria dragons. At the 17 known Hallettestoneion Hieghts graveyards located in Plesant View and North Ogden Utah. The one fact stands out above all others is the large scale extreem compounded evolutionairy development. This precision evolutionairy refinement becomes espesially overwhelingly obvious as you excavate the teeth from underneath the skull. Seazoria teeth are very specialized biological structures, All Seazoria teeth; rights, lefts, tops, and bottom teeth, including all identical progressive replacement teeth are created in exacting right and left handed configuations only, with no exceptions. replac average 27 inches and each tooth is extreemly specialized and was created through an advanced biological procces. All teeth look exactly like they are supposed too for that exact location within the mouth. With respect to the teeth it works like this. form matches function based on location to prefection. Biology is biology just in prehistoric time the different species of life just had more time to evolve on a more compounded scale.

Just saw the same comic by Bizzaro in the Vancouver Sun… that guy is really funny, with very witty stuff….

Is it just me, or does it look like that Seazoria guy had a third grader render his sketches? I mean, if you’re going to rise to that high of a level of bullshit, with a webpage and all, it seems that you’d at least try hitting up the high school art classes first.
I think the Seazoria guy goes quite well with the Bizarro cartoon. Both are about mistaking the external world with the internal world and “seeing” things that aren’t there.

It is not uncommon for Bizarro cartoons dealing with the absurdities of religion to be reworded or replaced by a rerun in newspapers for conservative markets.

and this couldnt have been a better item to stumble on to relieve my absolute hysterical frustration with the people on the film. (despite the fact the firing of the homosexual homo hater pastor who slept with a male prostitute and also the closing of the jesus camp which wasnt quite enough satisfaction ^_^)
Good times

So what’s with this guy Pencil Drawings? No “In my opinion,” no “I don’t think,” just telling everybody else what’s not funny, period.
I think you’re wrong, PD, it’s very funny. (That’s my opinion.) Know what? You are too. I’m laughing at you right now.
Check out pencil drawing‘s homepage. For someone who draws so poorly (he can’t even competently draw a face with a photo to copy from; check out the otherworldly eyes in his portraits) he seems awful sure of the superiority of his artistic judgements.
—
Pencil Drawing, by saying you’re not “super religious” what do you mean?
That you wouldn’t stone your children for backtalking you.
That you wear clothing made up of more than one kind of fabric.
That you believe that the bible is not the inspired, eternal, ineffable, unchanging & perfect word of god.
That you cut your hair.
That you don’t force women to spend their menstruating period in a seperate tent.

Pie in the sky, of course.
I see the pie and the dynamite. I still don’t know what’s behind him or the significance fo the dynamite.
There is no significance, just Piraro adding his Secret Symbols, like the eyeball behind Gawd.
Here are the symbols…
None of them appear to be dynamite. I interpret the dynamite to be the explosive potential of neuroscience to show that God really is in the brain.
The dynamite is supposed to be an homage to his wife.
Sure, but you know some are only going to complain that God is also in the human heart.

Not to mention spelling and grammar worthy of a third grader.
Yes, Lord. Actually, it is. You should laugh, as we have a sense of humour, and assuming you designed us, must have one as well.

It’s “Lair of the White Worm” all over again, I tells ya!
Is Amanda Donahoe in any of the pictures?
This is a stupid comic. I’m not super religious or anything but this isn’t funny.
HAHA omg i love it!
Just been watching that “jesus camp” film (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jesus_camp)

Am I the only one who doesn’t get it?
I didn’t know about the inside joke items, I was certain that the cake was a lie.
LOL! this is Zeus
I used to threaten to move my wife into a menstrual tent but it had nothing to do with religion.
