Religion In The Comics - 025 [View all]
Depending on which calendar you use, it was Buddha's birthday last week. This story appeared in It Really Happened comics #1, in 1944.What I like about this story is that there is no mystical/magical mumbo jumbo. No Virgin mother, no All the fish you can eat, no rising from the dead, and all those other miracles. Just the story of a man. Had the people who wrote the New Testament kept Jesus a man instead of a God, and making up all that bullshit, maybe we could take him more seriously. But when his message is distorted from "Love one another" into "Confess your sins and you will be saved", then the message is lost. Too bad the apostles couldn't "keep it real" as in It Really Happened
