EN37 Secular Sunday School

The Bible epilogue text can be found here and here (you may have to scroll down a bit to find the exact part...).
One of the regular things I am interested in exploring is the shift from a predominantly pre-war christian worldview to an overwhelmingly modern secular one. This strip pokes fun at the age-old joke among christians that the answer to every sunday school question is 'Jesus'. In a secular age God gets replaced with something else, and Google seems to be doing just that.
Just before doing this strip I had been slightly disturbed by the way in which Google had really achieved a fundamental role in the way I was operating on the web. I began to reflect on the link between the parallels between my online dependencies and greater worldview ones.
I just went for something really simple here with the carpet suggesting the worldview shift. I like dots.
The Zechariah bible text is something I had stumbled on in the early 90s when I had just started at university and was reading this magnificent old testament book. The images keep on reflecting something of God's omniscience and power for a people who were feeling the pinch.
