I think, sometimes, making fun of the bible is done incorrectly. There's enough crazy shit in there, nobody needs to make stuff up.

Although, of course, it also contradicts itself sometimes, but even so, there's no commandment about how to eat banana's. And using such a farce, IMO, undermines the seriousness of those who reject religion for what is not only farcical, but also, sadly, actually in the so-called "holy" book.

I've yet to hear any decent apologetics for the mixed-fabric one. Although one Jewish associate I have said there are 3 categories of God's law.

1) Those any of us can reach, just with reason (e.g. don't kill/steal)
2) Those that are God's Law, and his reasoning is beyond us (e.g. mixed-fabric prohibition, why food X is kosher and food Y is not)
3) ....I forget the third category. But I recall it cause he was admitting, sometimes, we will just never know why, but we better follow anyway. =(

who has two thumbs and rambles on religion?

That's why I prefer the King James version. It has unicorns!

I instantly thought of the OT commandments about shellfish and women not cutting their hair when I read the bananas part. I think those kinds of things are what the cartoonist was referencing.

It's a fictional universe so they've made up laws equally silly as the Bible that it is parodying. Just like how the characters in Battlestar Gallactica say "frak".
