The reference to Mark 9:24 came to mind when reading this Jesus And Mo comic. For those not familiar, J&M is written by an anonymous author (for her/his protection) and is very anti-religion. Often the strip has very prescient and insightful comments and there is always truth in it.

Perhaps we need ‘internet ethics.” On the other hand, I don’t think things are that different and all that has happened is that the […]
In 2892. Dan Piraro’s take on the future of animal life on planet Earth.
From “That is Priceless.”
