There is a cartoon I just found on the website www.dig.com at http://www.explosm.net/comics/1467/ that I really enjoyed.
The cartoon shows Jesus doing what he usually did according to the church which was being able to turn water in wine. According to the situation, this action does not look good at all because Jesus is not suppose to have a drink since he is driving.
To me, this cartoon is not in favor of Jesus or religion. It appears that Jesus is tricking one of his believer. He shows him something and change it into another thing. This may relate to many things religion has done in the past. For instance, the religion war. The church said it was to bring the right religion to the pagan and heretics but what happened was that the real purpose of it was gaining territory, possession and more power.
The friend of Jesus in the cartoon is blind. He believes and trust Jesus blindly. He has faith in him and does not think that he will never be deceived by him. The last drawing shows a dark side of Jesus. The cartoon is also humanizing Jesus because this is human nature to lie. Nobody is perfect so why will Jesus be perfect? This cartoon may want to warn people to not trust too easily. Good and bad coexist and is find in everyone even in the church.
