Kliban by B. Kliban for March 18, 2022

Doesn’t this look familiar?

No one expected the inquisition…

“…and they’ve always hated it.”

I attended the Episcopal church for about 25 years. I was never a member of any organized religion.

And, there’s always been strict resistance to humor about religion…

Now we know what killed vaudeville.

Religion just can’t take a joke!

Religious satirists have always been prime targets for organized religion. See fatwah.

What is it about religion that makes so many adherents violently opposed to competing religions?

I thought it was Unitarian.

Explaining a joke always kills it.

Monty Python (fortunately) wasn’t around during the Inquisition.
