Most people don't really like having the most important thing in the world to them compared to Hitler.
I guess Nazis wouldn't mind.
But yeah.
The Jesus coming back as Hitler one was funny in a dark absurdist way (though it's gotten less funny and more dark now that it seems like that's almost what you actually believe), but that one with the noodle people with the hair is lame and annoying. And I'm not saying that just because I disagree with it, I'm saying it because it's on the same level as these:
Or, say...
Although
Mallard Fillmore at least occasionally stumbles on something resembling a joke:
Poorly drawn jokeless cartoons are annoying and stupid regardless of the ideological point they're making.
It should be possible to make decent atheist cartoons, as it's possible to make decent Christian ones (incidentally, I'm not using "decent" in the sense of "moral", I'm using it in the sense of "doesn't suck that much"):
I'm not saying these are
Foxtrot or
Calvin and Hobbes-level stuff, but they're certainly better cartoons than that noodle people one. Basically, have an actual joke and don't make all the characters look like overdramatic ******bags. And most of all, cartoonists should never pat themselves on the back for winning an argument against a character they invented. Which is tough to avoid when the only reason the cartoonist started doing the comic was to deliver political and/or religious arguments in an unscrutinized medium.
And while those ReverendFun cartoons certainly aren't real fit for this topic, I think the guidelines can still apply. The thread is "You OMG, You Lose," not "You Get Annoyed By ******y Cartoon Characters Arguing With Strawmen, You Lose." If you actually want a debate about whether God rapes people, take it to NatDT. If you want to post cartoons, post cartoons that are actual cartoons. Like that first one. That first one was perfect for this thread. It had an actual joke, it didn't pat itself on the back for how clever it was, and it had shock value (which seems to be the point of the thread). It's kinda hard to be shocked when you're annoyed. I mean, did you actually think anyone was going to lose to the noodle people one? Did you really think Turtlekid was going to be shocked that someone on the internet in 2011 would
dare to say God is mean?
