I'd be tempted to open a cracker stand right next to him.

Random Quote
The doctrine that future happiness depends upon belief is monstrous. It is the infamy of infamies. The notion that faith in Christ is to be rewarded by an eternity of bliss, while a dependence upon reason, observation and experience merits everlasting pain, is too absurd for refutation, and can be relieved only by that unhappy mixture of insanity and ignorance, called "faith." What man, who ever thinks, can believe that blood can appease God? And yet, our entire system of religion is based upon that believe. The Jews pacified Jehovah with the blood of animals, and according to the Christian system, the blood of Jesus softened the heart of God a little, and rendered possible the salvation of a fortunate few. It is hard to conceive how the human mind can give assent to such terrible ideas, or how any sane man can read the Bible and still believe in the doctrine of inspiration.
[Robert G. Ingersoll, "The Gods", 1872]

I see the title of your stand: Cracker on a Stick. Extra for bleeding jebus , dipped in a nice salsa.

Oooh! Ooh! I know! I'll open a stand next to that one that would rewrite holy script in such a way where you could justify anything, anything at all. WE would have God's permission to do whatever we chose.
Wait... Damn it. That stuff's already all in there. For a Lack-of-Christ's-Sake, it's everywhere. WTF? Has anyone actually read this damned book!!! Shit!

Whether it is invoking fear or hate, the point is that the reaction is completely inappropriate. What's to fear or hate about a cartoon? Or tossing a cracker into a waste-can?

Luke (#7) have a point, I can almost imagine the caricature this *bearded* guy is producing.
Nerd of Redhead (#2) that's a great idea for snacks! Sticks, check. Salsa, check. Crackers… have to get some.
And for the martian version, guacamole. Yeah.

PZ, I do think the cracker stand would be enhanced by sacriligeous (sacrilicious?) garnishes--bacon for those who eschew pork, some sort of steak bits maybe in honor of those who do not eat beef, you get the idea. Perhaps you can partner up with a pharmacy to dispense medications, including antidepressents, to get a good poke in at $cientology.
At least it would give people something tasty to go with the crackers.

This is what Wiley has to say about the cartoon.
I am sorry that I cannot provide a direct link to the quote.
Also, rturpin, do you think it is appropriate to live your life according to other people's superstitions?

Janine, I'm not sure you read his sentence right? He characterized the Fear and Loathing as inappropriate, not the provocations.

You are right, daniel.f.ross. Please accept my apology, rturpin. I am sorry.

Can I set-up a stand to sell a good pinot noir? That would be good tasting, and it would freak-out all the ostensibly anti alcohol cults.

There's been too much debate around this cartoon. It is okay to draw living persons but not okay to draw something that we don't even know exists or not. We shouldn't let ourselves be controlled by superstitions and beliefs.
