As you probably already know, I’m not religious. I grew up in Christianity and I never bought into it. Even as a kid, I was extremely skeptical. I resisted being baptized and succeeded. To me, the Bible is nothing but a book full of fairy tales so it’s probably appropriate Trump is selling a version of it.
Out of all the fairy tales in the Bible, the resurrection of Jesus may be the most ridiculous. I don’t believe people return from the dead several days after death. Did George Romero write that chapter? The only thing less believable is that Trump is a man of God or the Chosen One.
A lot of political cartoonists draw religious-themed cartoons for Easter. Personally, I don’t think it’s our place to push our religious beliefs on readers. If I can’t push atheism on people in a newspaper, or if Islam, Buddhism, or even Satanism can’t be pushed on people on the editorial page, then Christianity shouldn’t either.
I draw cartoons that criticize courts and politicians using fundamental zealotry to deny women control over their own bodies. I would be a hypocrite to draw a sermon. A lot of the cartoonists who draw religious cartoons for Easter spend the rest of the year celebrating hate, oppression, and discrimination. How often does Gary Varvel draw Hunter Biden with a crack pipe and lie to his readers?
One of my proofers said this was Charlie Hebdo. I’ll take that.

Trump doesn’t believe in anything but Trump. But he will say he believes anything if it makes him a buck, or attracts another MAGAt!

That just shows Trump’s, roots in business, that, he will, lie, cheat, manipulate people, into, voting him into office again, and, because the voters in the U.S. can’t think independently from the, corrupt party, with Trump, excellent in, inciting angere in the, masses, and, if the voters vote for him again this, November, then, the U.S. will be, sold for, scraps, to the, HIGHEST bidder: the DEVIL! But that would be, “we the people’s”, fault, and, we must, live with, allowing this, CORRUPT, businessman with NO conscience take country of, Uncle Sam, and in the end, the citizens of the U.S. still have, themselves to, blame.

I was born and raised Roman Catholic but have recently stepped away from the church. New policies are in place that I don’t agree with, and they still are treating women as second class nobodies. I do still consider myself a Christian but have no problem with other people’s religion or lack thereof as long as they don’t begin preaching at me. Everyone has a right to believe what they want and my God loves them all (dare I say “You all”?)

Clay, You are such an intelligent, clever, insightful person- I love reading your blogs and your cartoons ( minus the bad language;) You probably have done a deep dive into the person of Jesus Christ? Not the fraud that these so called “Christians” drivel but to the actual historical/God figure. You are right that the virgin birth, Resurrection , miracles etc.sound like a hoax but just as you research your history, politics etc , I think the Resurrection merits an honest investigation by you 🙂 Maybe books like the” Case for Christ” by Josh McDowell, “ The reason for God” by Timothy Keller, Francis Collins” The language of God” are worth your time 🙂 Even if you don’t think so, Jesus loves you and so do we 😉. Your clever mind cannot have “ evolved” – it was created by a Master hand. Blessed Resurrection Day to you and yours. Keep up the good work, (minus the language) , and come visit us next time you are in Gatlinburg🤗. Your #1 fan

Ugh, The Orange One doesn’t have a Christian bone in his body. He is the antichrist incarnate.
I haven’t been religious in decades, and only by childhood conscription (never mind the fact that I’m currently watching The Ten Commandments; hey, it’s life-long, Easter-time tradition! 😜)

I thought the Bible was fun, more or less. The tribes of Jews extirpated entire cities, long before Hiroshima! (I was well into adulthood before I grasped the exaggeration.) The sun stopped moving at the battle of Jericho! The lions, tigers and all the beasts boarded an “Ark”! (WHAT DID THE LIONS EAT?)
And the “passion play”(?) ! Wow! Three days after the crucifixion, Jesus was skipping down the lane, gleefully DECEIVING his disciples! What, was he a SHAPE-SHIFTER? Not since the Iliad, the Odyssey, and O Brother, Where Art Thou did they conceive such a lark! Jesus Kirk, you’re needed on the bridge!
