Story title reads like a old DC Comicbook cover.
Follow-up in the series...."Scuba-diving Satanists crawl from the sewers of New York City.
Run away, run away! |

How in the fuck do they conclude that Satanists did that?
All they know if that the hands are missing, probably stolen. What are their ground to accuse Satanists? That's insulting and bigoted! |
Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

Yeah right. Blame the Satanists, why the hell not? and if there are no Satanists to be found, surely they can root out an atheist or two. I dunno why they didn't think of the godless first. If it were me, I'd look for links to a collector of and/or dealer in religious objects. Those are rife around the Med and many if not most are scoundrels to one degree or another -- the James Ossuary is an example of how they work.
So what's to be done with Abysmal Christ now? Will they haul him ashore and fit him with prosthetics? We shall see......

I couldn't beat such thoughtful journalism with a spoof.
I'm just glad that almost nonexistent satanist theists were blamed instead of atheists. The most likely suspects, I think, are fishermen using drag nets. You can bet that they wouldn't want to report finding Jesus' arms when they pulled in their net.
