From the great people of Holy Kaw, comes this shot taken at this past weekend's Rally to Restore Sanity. Check out the flickr group above for even more.

Oh, and in case you were wondering why God hates figs, here's how it all went down according to the NIV of Mark 11:12-14:

The next day as they were leaving Bethany, Jesus was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to find out if it had any fruit. When he reached it, he found nothing but leaves, because it was not the season for figs. Then he said to the tree, “May no one ever eat fruit from you again.” And his disciples heard him say it.

Well now, you can't argue with that!

God Issues Recall

God_recall

HEAVEN-- In a surprise move, God issued a statement today announcing an immediate recall of His complete book series:The Torah, The Quran and the New Testament, citing misunderstandings and violence of "biblical proportions" brought about by many who have read the books. In a written release, God stated: "You guys freak me out. I'm almost afraid to issue this press release with the way you tend to twist my words around. However, I am calling for an immediate recall of my complete book series. If you have any of these books please stop using them immediately. The words were meant to bring people together but clearly that is not happening.

Amid the chaos, Alex Bogusky's press release from the Almighty humorously and succinctly cuts to the issue of religious fundamentalism of all kinds: you're missing the point. Or, as he would have Heaven write it: "I used a lot of metaphor and in my defense, it was a very popular writing style of the era. But today, this seems to be more confusing than elucidating to my message of universal love." Enjoy the full press release at the link above.
