While working on a cartoon for this blog about an HIV “vaccine” I felt a little déjà vu — like I had drawn something like this long ago. Digging through some old folders (this is why it’s good to keep journals, diaries and notebooks) I discovered a little cartoon that I had done in high school, and that was actually printed in a 1985 Brooklyn Tech HS newspaper. Here is my new cartoon:
and here is the cartoon I drew in 1985.
I guess some things never change. Like cruel religious dogmas.

Funny thing that…. ‘no condoms’ is not “Dogma”… it can’t be…. though, it is a logical conclusion of Latin tradition. (I spent some time worshiping with Eastern Christians, they have not come to the same conclusion.)
As always, thanks for the feedback MDJ. Minor point, however, in that I didn’t mean that “no condoms” was the dogma. I meant ALL established religions are dogmatic for pretending to know anything and commanding “true” believers to follow their dictates, beliefs, ideas, rituals, etc.
I should blush here…. You are right — they behave like it is dogma. Sometimes I think of dogma as a ‘protection’…. if its not dogma, I’m free to argue about it without risking real trouble.
people may think I’m a liberal, but if someone censors me I have the right to appeal… and the person who pronounced the censor maybe reprimanded.
Religion is a rather confusing beast… I happen to think the world is better off for having it…. many disagree with me.
