Amusingly enough, in the KJV translation, it reads “Male and female made He him” emphasis on the singular “him” suggesting that Adam (and consequently YHWH) are hermaphrodites and that the thing removed from Adam to make Eve wasn’t the specified rib.

Well, I really don’t see the similarity between the two characters that I’d expect.  Sure, they’re both adorably cute, but quite distinct. 

Except in the second panel in the ComicCon 2001 report.  The first time I saw that, I almost thought it *was* Helen, somehow.  Cognitive dissonance ensued.

I’d say they’re equal, but in different ways. Sort of the way a chibi-Tomoyo Daidouji would be cute, but not in the same way as the normal one.

yeah. thats why i can’t see how the catholic’s buy that whole “the trinity is one, literal, being” thing. so crazy. but hell, its all very confuseing in any case, thanks to the multiple interpitations the bible has gone through before being mass-produced, as oposed to trans-scribed by hand.

vote Cthulhu For president! food for all, all for food.

Don’t I know it.

It’s right next to the equally-inspiring strip featuring Helen wearing nothing but Dave’s shirt and a cell phone.

Seminarians learn early on that the Holy Trinity is so complex a topic that it’s easy to accidentally commit some minor heresy, like this one: God must have nuts because he knocked up his mother to produce himself.

if anyone can find a way to kick a woman in the nuts, it’s probably Mell.  Just a few inches higher, Sarge — trust me, it’ll hurt just as much.
