I loved this one when I saw it. The only thing that would make it better is if he had eight heads all going into different homes.

Is it okay to post other comics in this thread?

They need to do one where he sticks his head in a OBGYN's office and accuses the Dr. of looking at pornography.

I like this one. It raises some good points. Particularly the part about people being a product of their time and culture. Then, the bit about Heaven. I think that over time, we've become more enlightened about the issues discussed in this comic. I think a divine being with divine love would want us to be as enlightened and loving enough as possible in order to, not just be in the presence of divinity, but to actually dwell there.
I haven't been comfortable with reincarnation for one reason and one reason only. Life is difficult enough, why in the name all that is both profane and holy would I want, not just one more shot at it, but multiple? However, it might not be about simply burning off karma. It might be that maybe we need to grow in enlightenment and understanding.
Until this cartoon, I looked at the idea of reincarnation as I do polygamy: something with which I was extremely uncomfortable and, if it was true, I just chose not to go there with my beliefs. Life is such a challenge, what lies ahead this life should give one a sense of joyful anticipation, not dread. This cartoon just raised the idea of reincarnation in my estimation.
Having experienced the latter, I can tell you the former, I think, would be easier and more pleasant. Over sooner. Maybe God wasn't destroying them, but dispatching them to his presence faster.
