      Yeah, I have a tingle in my spidey-sense that tells me that this indeed was the intended joke.

        I’ve got to be honest… I’m not getting that same tingle. I’ve seen only one other of these comics and that also portrays jesus and god as separate “characters”, but even with that set aside, what would the joke of this comic be if the intended joke is that god and Jesus are the same? The punchline, to me, is that nobody thanks “jesus”, always thanking “god” instead, and jesus is unhappy about that and feels unappreciated.

        The sign saying “Yahweh” might mean that when people thank “god” that counts as a catchall for Yahweh and jesus, but it’s actually Jesus who does all the work out of those two anyway? But I just feel like that’s a muddier joke than “god named, Jesus not named” which is simple. Maybe I’m simple. I might be stupid. I’m totally up for being wrong here.

        She said “Thank God”. Jesus is God. Also, God the Father doesn’t have a physical form

      His son and being him more like past society son was an “extension” of the father, no?

        No, Jesus isn’t an extension of the Father - Jesus is fully God
