Wow.
It sounds like you’ve got manic depression when you think you have religion.

Indeed. It’s all about the £/kg.

Sinister,

But is it really discount? What’s the weight of the chocolate? I had a couple of eggs and they were pretty bloody thin. :)

But on the plus side, the shops are full of discount chocolate!

“This is blasphemy! We’ve gotta do something!”
“There’s nothing we can do.”
“Hm. I- I guess we’ll have to develop a sense of humor then.”

Religion isn’t really in the realm of PC gaming (Zoo Race is not a game), so a cartoon normally primarily about PC gaming shouldn’t overstep its mark, especially for such a cheap laugh. Too many people have been affected (good/bad) by God/Jesus to start poking fun about them/it, cheap comedy at the sake of others feelings is just unimaginative and borderline ‘bullying’ to be frank.

But that said The fact that the artist actually knew what Easter Sunday was all about should actually be a bonus right.. like 1 in 3 people or something in the UK have no idea what Easter even is for…apart from chocolate eggs or course.

John,

I get your point, and I’ll move on. By the way, you guys are some gifted writers, and I’ve enjoyed your site in time past.

PhinehasJavelin – I don’t want to get into a quote war, but I’m sure you already know of plenty that strongly condemn making judgements about others, especially about who is good enough for God.

As Jim said, funny is what we’re about.

I’ll repeat myself: You’re offended. Ok, you’re offended. And now carry on. You’re unharmed, God’s unharmed, zombie Jesus is unharmed because he’s a drawing. Stick around because we’re a really good website writing loads of great stuff every day. I think the chances of zombie Jesus jokes popping up too often are slim. Especially as Horace the Endless Bear is the resident deity.

And I can’t speak for JW and the rest of the RPS staff (as I’m not on them) but when I die and *if* there are great pearly gates and a jury and all that, I’ll say ‘look. It was a joke. If you don’t get that, I don’t want to be here.’

Nothing is too sacred to make fun of, or there is no true humor, only bigots for various issues.

I firmly believe that He will be down with the Roger Rabbit rule, and understand we only do these things when it’s funny.
