Addendum 01 October 2005: I seem to be getting a lot of hits to this page via search engine, and noticed someone from this forum has linked here. So, let's just clarify a couple things, shall we?
- I did not write the cartoons displayed below. These are excerpts from a page that used to exist at the URL http://crossspot.net/objective/kidz.html. If you go there now, you get a "File not found" message. The parent domain, crossspot.net is some sort of Christian web hosting company. I don't know anything about them, and I don't care.
- The material is a joke. It is a spoof; a satire; a parody on how, supposedly, some "real" Christians think. The fact that it is a spoof is discussed in this Metafilter thread, and if you had bothered reading to the end of my post instead of just shutting your brain off the minute you saw something you didn't like, you would have seen that.
- I do not agree with the views expressed in these cartoons. I do not have any religious affiliation, precisely because I dislike how organized religions messes with peoples' heads. I can, however, see these cartoons for the joke that they are because I have a sense of humour. Maybe you should get one too.
So, now that we've got that out of the way, please enjoy/marvel at/mock/despise the following cartoons at your leisure.

From the kids' page at Objective, a Christian ministries website:
Habu's Corner | |
 |
How many gods do you have? 
Wouldn't you rather have just one God who loves you a bunch than a bunch of gods that don't love you at all? |
|
Jesus loves everybody, even the unsaved like Habu! Remember to pray for Habu and others like him that they may find Jesus and accept Him into their hearts! | |
...and...
Spiritual Safety Tip | |
| What should you do if you find an atheist? | |
|
 Atheists such as crotchety old Mr. Gruff think they've got it all figured out... |
| ...but then why are they always so sad? | |
|
If you find an atheist in your neighborhood, TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY! You may be moved to try and witness to these poor lost souls yourself, however Very advanced witnessing techniques are needed for these grouches. Let the adults handle them. | |

....Addendum 28 May 2003: GAK points out that the site is a spoof. Does that mean that dinosaurs really are extinct, then? Damn.

I am a Hindu. However, Hinduism and the label Hindu is inaccurate because both of those names are relatively new. The name Hinduism leads one to believe that Hinduism is a religion with dogmas. However, "Hinduism" arose out of Santana Dharma and later Vedic Culture. I will not reduce myself to the petty name-calling and defamation this cartoon eludes to. God is within me, God loves everyone, and I will learn to love Christians regardless of what they do or call me. In addition, any informed rational person would agree that this cartoon is inaccurate. Hindus believe in an omnipresent god (Atman), that is god is everywhere: within me, within you, everywhere. Therefore, because of the belief that god is omnipresent it is unreasonable to assume that Hindus worship many gods. Simple laws of physics or even common sense would tell you that to objects cannot occupy the same sense. To clarify, when Hindus pray to deities they are praying and worshiping one facet of God and the qualities embodied by that deity, they are not worshiping that deity as a god itself. It is often said,” Hinduism is monotheistic in belief but polytheistic in practice."

OMG...I am an atheist, and strangely enough, I'm remarkably happy! Wow, i guess we aren;t all grumpy old goat people who don;t like to talk to people, maybe we are normal too and jsut don;t like to push our facist bliefs on one another :P. let's not forget, Hitler went to church every sunday when he was little, and look what he grew up into :).

Bah. That 'safety warning' about athiests is totally and blatantly false. What kind of idiot would believe stuff like that? I'm an athiest, and 'grumpy old goat man in a bathrobe who doesn't like people' doesn't describe me at!
Hell, I don't even OWN a bathrobe. What kind of tripe are you people pushing?
