Charles Shultz has been dead for 9 years and they're still printing Peanuts.

Time to bring an end to this and make the dead lie down in their graves!

Who's with me?

What about Tupac?

He's STILL releasing albums, even though he's been dead for around 12 years by my reckoning.

Personally, I blame the King of Zombies, Jebus.

He started all this nonsense you know! And considering he's meant to be the Son of God (or indeed God incarnate) I think he's been blimming irresponsible!

What I hate is when they let some living pop singer sing along with somebody who's dead and call it a duet. That's practically Necrophilia.

Hmm, if anything there seem to be more and more zombies in comics these days. Perhaps Charlie Brown is spreading the plague.

Like Tupacs 'duet' with Elton John?

I understand the bassline for that was mixed by sampling the sound of Tupac spinning in his grave?

Not to mention the numerous Biggie 'duet' albums. Pisses me off no end.

Ah yes! Biggie Smalls, the Cash In Compilation, consisting of various entirely self serving arseholes just saying 'Notorious' and P Doowahdiddydiddydumdiddydoo raking in wads of cash....

It's more or less fine to poke fun at cults, or poke fun at religion, or poke fun at priests, or followers of a religion.

However it is not a good idea to poke fun at a God or a central holy figure that might be worshipped or followed by some of those here. Any God. Any Prophet. Even the ones you have no faith in whatsoever.
Not Allah, not Buddha, not Jesus, not Moses, not Abraham, not the Dalai Lama, not Mohammed*.

And no its not cool to claim 'free speech' its about as free speech as the 'right' for someone to accuse your family of being a child porn ring as a cheap laugh, and no less dangerous. In fact a lot more dangerous even in the Uk, though you be fairly safe if you only stick to attacking Christianity. Not that that makes it right to do so.

Please grow up a little.








* Though I would happily draw a line at Hubbard.

Wot?

"Take not the name of the Lord thy God in vain."

How many times must I say it before it is heeded? Okay, one more time Pffft!

he died in 97 mate
and what he has "released" was actually his work that he had not released, it was all back recordings of things he didnt think were good enough.

Never mind Charlie Brown a pox upon the clan of the person who invented to woefully unfunny, middle England yawnathon Fred Bassett.

Thankfully it exists only in the Daily Mail and therefore I have no chance of reading it by accident.

Thankfully with the help of Photoshop the owner of

has tuned it into something funny.

Oh and Nemi in the metro. Oh how cutting edge she tries to be as she cynically attacks anything she personally doesn't like all the time whilst shirking any personal responsibility in her own pathetic life. She's nothing more than a tedious emo slapper.

You missed out the ultimate beyond the grave personality, you know the one kept alive by the Daily Express and the American media in general.

Some people worship Tupac. Hell, some people worship Elton John. Orlanth, if you can draw the line at Hubbard, then you're just setting your own standards. That's BIGOTRY.

Basically, MDG started with 'Personally, I...', whereas you tried to dictate our values for us.

Please backpedal and grow up properly.

Also, please kill Cathy, and Phantom series strips.. Yawn!

It would help if you were more informed.

Actually Scientology, and many other cults are in their true forms a proven con pure and simple. Hubbard is a convicted con artist who died on the run. I dont laugh at Scientiologists though, but I will alugh at Hubbard. Mainstream religion can include con artists and negative persons, but does not necessarily do so. Even so I would not directly verbally assault a scientologist over their beliefs. In any case even without the possibility of some people geting violent I would not dare to smear the names of Jesus, Mohammed and Buddha, and note that one cannot really beleive in all three. As a Christian I do not beleive in Buddha or Mohammed, but if the blasphemous comments were against those two figures I would still be making this post in defence of decorum towrds their followers.

If you cannot tell the difference in a general namecalling and insulting the name of Jesus there is something seriously wrong with you, you might realise just how many many people ardently follow major religions and how they can be upset by blasphemy. Would you turn up at a synagogue with an SS uniform on for a joke, would you lead a pig to a mosque as a laugh? I hope not. Likewise dont mock a God (I am being neutral here - dont blaspheme any of them).
This is not a matter of 'opinions' and 'personal values', some things cross the line that should not be crossed. Period.

Jesus, according to the Bible, is now not only a Zombie (he rose from the dead. Was dead, not dead now = Zombie) but also actively encouraged cannabilism

You read the Bible your way, I'll read the Bible my way. Then we can agree to disagree with nobody trying to claim to be Holier Than Thou, and the world will be a happier place.

Grotsnik, you have had a history of your zombie jibes. If you think that such comments make the world a happier place you are clearly deluded, just as well I am a mere Christian, I might merely take offence. If you make habit of saying similar insults regarding Mohammed you would probably have to live in hiding.
That is no exagerration.

No thats not Holier Than Thou, so far I have been more than reasonable and have explained clearly and fairly as to why such comments is not acceptable. Normally on other issues you dont troll, so I was putting your comments down to ignorance and bad manners. However it appears to be clearly worthless trying to reason with you further. In future I will have little choice but to ask the Mods to deal with this as per other trolling.

No, you're right, the bit about those who follow Mohammed was no exaggeration so much as incredibly narrow minded and racist of you. Every Religion has it's fair share of nutcases. Look at Westboro Baptist Church if you don't believe me. Fruitcakes to a man.

As I said, depending on how you interpret the writings of the Bible, Jesus very much is a Zombie, and a promoter of Cannabilism.

I reject your accusation of racism, and stick by my words. A fatwa was launched after a dutch newspaper printed a cartoon of suicide bombers being told they had run out of virgins in heaven. Sorry this is how it is, and this was not a isolated case. Heard of Salma Rushdie? Gross insults against Islam can be and are avenged in blood. And no I do not accuse Islam itself of this, just those who would carry out such acts.
Just be aware.

In this we are in agreement. Jesus said 'you will know them by their fruit', that is to say see spirituality of people by how they live their lives not by what name of religion they profess.

In before the lock.

WEEE! HAY I LIKE PLAYING WITH TINY PAITNTED MENZ? WHERE I GO FOR THAT?

And worse, since god made all people, and jesus is his son by a woman, that means he's also inbred. Face it, Orlanth, religion is a vestige of the ignorance of people of ancient times and it needs to be gotten rid of before we can progress as a civilization. In terms of sheer inanity, hubbard is just as viable as any other "prophet". Except for Edgar Cayce, his prophecies and healing powers are documented.

Orlanth is racist.
Greebynog was just being silly, not really a vitriolic attack against a religion.

Have you ever gone up to a Muslim and told him Islam is a bad religion? You know what happens? ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!!!! Because they are just ordinary people. Perhaps they will tut or disagree or even argue, but no more than random Christians would

This thread was kind of cool until Orlanth got all butthurt.

Yeah I hate the peanuts it's old and played out. <this is the last on topic thing that will be said in this thread.>

IB4tL!

I don't know what's worse. The paranoid fear of Muslims attacking everyone who makes fun of god, or the belief that if religious fanatics attack people who they dislike, it's the duty of the people being attacked to change their ways.

Peanuts isn't as bad as 'For better or worse', that strip is as funny as a kitten run over by a garbage truck.

Gotcha!

Meh.

The only decent Newspaper strips are the old Daily Star Judge Dredd ones.

Who doesn't want a bit of Dredd to kick their day off?

Least funny strip ever? B.C. Or at least the new ones.

Hey! Let's talk about Jesus in a comic strip called "Before Christ!" That won't be really stupid and make no sense at all!

OH, and if any Brits have ever been sold a copy of the War Cry by the Sally Army (usually in the pub) try finding 'The Chalks And The Cheese's' funny.

You can't. Because it's not.
