Caption: The Universal Sense of Humor.
There was, a long, long time ago, a science fiction short story with a not totally dissimilar theme. It was called “The Katzenjammer Effect” – nicely written with a touch pf pathos.
Kinda rings true for some of us religious types. A single witness – or at most a small handful – to something unbelievable is charged with convincing everyone else that it really happened. The first challenge is to have the right qualities (clout, integrity, charisma, etc., and preferably a healthy dose of several) to be credible at all. The second and infinitely harder one is for the succession of leaders thereafter to stick to the original message, rather than exploiting followers to serve personal agendas, grievances, prejudice, or just plain odd quirks. And woe be to later messengers who come attempting to correct an established tradition of wayward dogma.

Thank you, Wiley. I’d hope the Universe or God or Ahura-Mazda or whoever would love laughing.

They should post this strip on APOD. And of course God has a sense of humor — he made us, didn’t He?!
