God's Lice

Bizarro is brought to you today by The Heavens.

I was musing one day about people's various ideas of "heaven." The idea of an afterlife of any kind is not one that I embrace at all, I think it is no more likely than a pre-life, of which there was most certainly none to my knowledge. Sorry if I offended any reincarnation believers, it just isn't something I can accept. If it works for you, go for it.

I've done a lot of cartoons about the cliche heaven with angels and clouds and while writing gags a few weeks ago, I suddenly thought; what if they aren't clouds? What if we were lice in God's beard? To my mind, it makes as much sense as any of the other ideas I was brought up with and it gives me a chuckle. In fact, there has likely been a culture that believed something similar; just about anything you can imagine about the origin of the anything, the meaning of life, the consequences and conditions of birth and death have been thought of before and had an alter built about them. Why not bugs in God's beard?

So there's the genesis of this cartoon. If there is a god, I hope he/she/it isn't mad at me for making so many jokes about religion. I'm just trying to make people smile. Honest. (fingers crossed)

"God" must have a sense of humor. Just look at us.

someone once said God must have a sense of humour, otherwise He wouldn't have created something like farts.

I like the link to "birth", which is actually not birth at all. See this link for the cat in action! Very funny! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LI6XeBIipKw&feature=related

I believe in God and He doesn't care if we believe in Him (just a pronoun) or not. All He wants is honesty and for us to not be jerks to each other, it's really too simple. Simple. Free. But that's not going to get power and control and money, so a bunch of greedy a-holes made religions. God prefers an honest atheist over a hypocrite any day of the week.

Speaking of lice. Does anyone knew some ways in removing head lice? Just asking.
