recently, some
of you young folks
have displaying a lot
of anger in defending
me, and I think you
may have some
misconceptions about
me.
first off, I was
born in bethlehem,
and unless they've
moved it in the last
two thousand years,
that makes me middle-
eastern.
I probably looked
more like cat stevens
than ted nugent.
If I returned
today,
I'd probably
end up on
someone's
no-fly list!
second, I'm not into
all that wrathful
vengence stuff,
That was more my
old man's bag!
MY TEACHINGS WERE
MORE ABOUT RESPECT
FOR EACH OTHER, AND
LOVING YOURSELVES
AND EACH OTHER.
The entire christian
canon is based on
forgiveness and
being light of
heart.
I was a man, first
after all, I probably
had a pretty good
sense of humor!
I mean, come on,
my first miracle
was turning water
into wine at a wedding!
A close up
magic act...
does that say
party guy or
what?
and don't forget
the greatest
disappearing and
reappearing act
of all!
so remember,
you cannot
be a true
christian if
you have hate
in your heart.
don't hate or
try to impose your
beliefs on others
in my name
enlightenment
will only come
when you learn
to lighten up!

GREAT WORK BROTHER
Sep 13th
thank you pauly for reading and for your astute comments. I am not one to debate scripture, but I am glad that some actually understood the spirit (excuse the pun) of this strip.
Sep 9th
well i am glad to revisit this strip iggiest. i still can't fully agree with panel 8 but i love the spirit of what you attampted to accomplish, and indeed accomplished. i find that yes, matthew holds some of the hardest verses to practice, and indeed i have found myself practicing them here on this site, however, Jesus did say that he came to fulfill the law not to abolish it. such was the seeming dichotomy, or perhaps dualality of his words... in mark 11 we see him clearing the temple and the next morning teaching forgiveness and later that day teaching the second greatest commandment. FLK.

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. Matthew 5:3
Sep 7th
how is that offensive? in ANY way?
Sep 6th
very offensive
Sep 4th
well, like the bible, a comic strip should not be taken too literally.
August 25th
i'm a christian and i agree with the first 2 panels and the 4th.two things about the rest the bible would talk about it if it were true. second in the third panel "my old man"? the bible says that jesus and god are the same
August 25th
That you iggiest
August 23rd
i am a christian and i am proud of it!
August 20th
Jessica, Iggiest was not making fun of Jesus. I'm a Christian as well and the points made here are right on target. Christ taught tolerance, forgiveness and being the best person you can be. I still stand behind my original comment. Very well done Iggiest and thank you! And Jessica, you need to take a very hard look at yourself. Your attitude and last comment are not Christian like.
August 16th
What makes you think I'm fat?
August 4th
YOU ARE MAKING FUN OF JESUS !! I'M CRISTAN SO, YOU ARE MAKING FUN OF ME TOO!! IGGIEST YOU ARE A BIG ,FAT,STUPID FOOL!!
August 4th

August 2nd
oh im very sorry, i didnt understand at first
July 29th
I like that last one. It was clever
July 21st
I agree with beastcomicz. I am also a christian but some people don't understand that being rude is just STUPID and some kids are just trolls for fun! I like the strip Iggiest!
July 17th
We needed a strip like this. I am christian but some of these kids don't get the meaning of "rude" and DO infact need to lighten up a bit. The best to Iggiest.
July 10th

July 1st

July 1st
no..... i wuznt tlkin to U particulry wuz talkig to fuzzy
June 30th
then you've missed the point entirely. I'm not making fun of Christ or Christianity, I'm making LIGHT of those christians who take themselves too seriously. Read the last three panels, you'll be less offended.
June 30th
not lol, its kinda making a joke about christianty,and i take bein a hristian seriosly, just plz, dont make fun of it
June 30th
lol
June 30th
What you are becoming day by day is of infinitely more importance than what you are today.
June 30th
I write the way that I speak, and I won't be apologizing for that any time soon. your original assessment tells me that you didn't read past panel 2 before you lashed out.. you're forgiven.
June 30th
Ok sorry but next time can you put smaller words but ,before I thought it was a comic about how jeus was bad so sorry P.s what dose Literate means
June 30th
I was reading Thich Nhat Hahn today and thinking Buddhism could be encapsulated in a paragraph. Then I thought, so could Christianity. The rest is just job creation for the theologians. Well said, Iggie.
June 30th
Hey Yumie the hater, please be literate and try to make sense in any future comments you may make on others' strips. This is unbecoming of you.+
June 30th
Why are you puting comic's like thios this isn't a info so STOP IT
June 30th
whoever flagged this isn't very smart. of course Jesus isn't white! the Europeans made him white so white people wouldn't be offenended!
June 30th
This is a very intelligent strip. Thank you for publishing it for all to see.
June 30th
probably not, iggy, 'to much werdz'
June 29th
thanks for your favs and comments. I don't mind the flags, it was on the front page long enough that it may have reached some of those for whom the message was intended.
June 29th
a fourth amen. these ideas were why i was fired from a church.
June 29th
Never thought about it that way
June 29th
Amen.
June 29th
well said, people get all worked up over the superfluous aspects of Jesus, they forget the REAL message
June 29th
Jesus would have been the best drinking buddy.
June 29th
Yep, lighten up while you still can
June 29th
Bravo...I went for the "Ted Neely" (as opposed to Ted Nugent) look because that seems to be the image ingrained in my brain! Love it!
June 29th
Can I fave this three or four times, please? Oh, and 'ride on the peace train' works much better for JC than 'guns and survivalism', or whatever bullcrap Nugent pushes.
June 29th
What would Jesus say? MUST.... RESIST.... COMMENT....
June 29th
And another Amen.
June 29th
That Jesus dude... he is pretty smart...
June 29th
Amen brother!
June 29th
Hellyesalooyah!
June 29th
Amen.
