Now…Am I the only one who thinks that Jack’s Father Damien looks suspiciously like the Father Damien from The Exorcist? I’m looking for a picture right now.
Now now people, we aren’t here to bash each other’s religions. Heck even I have issues with R.C. teachings (and FWIW I had just over a year of catechism as a lad) but there is a vast gulf between that and Jack’s raging venom.
To be fair to vanilla, I was raised in a catholic environment and I have to say that unfortunately, in my experience, many priests do a piss-poor job at explaining these sorts of things to kids.
First off, I admit I didn’t read his whole comic (arg. It’s so hard to follow).
I was raised catholic and don’t know very much about other religions.
Why is Mary being vilified? Do other Christian religions not believe in Mary?
I’m confussed.
-Babs, who apparently is going to hell. I hope if I do, I get to wear a nifty pointed hat.
p.s.
That picture of Nimrod made me laugh. It reminds me of a cartoon a friend sent me that has a little boy running around with a dildo on his forehead saying “look mommy! I’m a rhino”.
Jack doesn’t vilify Mary but rather his mistaken notion that Mary is worshipped in her own right.
All other Christian denominations believe in Mary but protestants and others part ways on the immaculate conception and Mary staying a virgin after Jesus’ birth. The gospels say Jesus had siblings but leaves out a few key details.
