particularly because the people that take offense to it are the numbnut zealots who can't substantiate what they read or hear due to the fact that there brains operate on a little thing called "faith" rather than the only thing that matters, emperical truths.

i have made a few strips about crappy jesus and crappy christianity (because those are the best to poke fun at) and they can be found somewhere in my comics at http://www.stripcreator.com/view.php?author=hevquip&ref=Forums

i pasted the link because i dont know how to use the stupid command shit.

Devin December 11, 2002 9:53 AM	I think it's not about convincing, but more about reinforcing the ideas of like-minded people.

UnknownEric December 11, 2002 10:37 AM	Y'know how people have the Jesus fish on their cars, and then other people put Darwin fish on, and then the original people came up with the Jesus fish who eats the Darwin fish, etc etc etc... I just want to have one that says, "FISH." And let them puzzle over it for a while.

andydougan December 11, 2002 10:49 AM	Considering that most comics at this site featuring Jesus have him getting buggered or spouting obscenities, why would anyone be offended by your harmless comics?

boorite December 11, 2002 11:22 AM	...and what about a priori truths?

jools December 11, 2002 11:33 AM	Or the highest truth of all, anal truth?

UnknownEric December 11, 2002 11:56 AM	You can't handle the anal truth.

TheElPaso December 11, 2002 1:39 PM	I disagree. Something like Goatse Man cannot be created. It must be evolved into.

Devin December 11, 2002 2:21 PM	The only truths you guys should care about are my truths. Because I am Devin the Almighty! Prostrate yourself before My Greatness! Build wonders that attest to My Greatness! Prepare and sacrifice many young virgins (women are preferred, men will be considered) for My Greatness! And while you're at it, get My Greatness a Snickers bar. I haven't eaten all day.

loafofbrett December 12, 2002 3:14 AM	Religion is just a false sense of security. People need to feel there is something bigger than themselves, rather than the fact they are just little blips on the earth that evolved from shit. Boom!

jools December 12, 2002 12:02 PM	What about Buddhism? They have no supreme being.

ArtemisStrong December 12, 2002 12:21 PM	'course, even buddhists beleive all is sacred... and that everything is part of the spiritual fabric... i don't even believe in a spiritual fabric... all is chaos that evolves into order, then devolves into chaos again... but, nonetheless, what makes my unbelief better than someone else's belief? we can only truly know after we die, so what's the point of a-fussin' and a-fuedin'?

I agree with Artemis (if that is his real name). I'm not the most religous person in the world. But I just can't stand it when people think religious people are simple minded. Yet most of THOSE people put most of their faith into Science, and I don't think Science has done much for us in awhile (thanks for nuclear bombs, Science!). If someone wants to put their belief in something, it's not because they're simple minded or feel insignificant, it's just as simple as them wanting to believe it.

If people have put themselves higher on the intelligence scale just because they're not religious, and have to constantly remind people "I'm smarter then that person cause he's religious"...then that just shows insecurity the way how some people claim religion is for people who feel small and insecure. Really, take..."I'm smarter then a religous person". Then take out "religous person", and put in any other group of people (be it race, or location, etc), and then see how smart that sounds.

Davis January 12, 2003 5:50 AM	I guess that's a good reason. But I'm also in the category of "Science can't prove everything". It's limited by the boundaries of the human race.

Science isn't everything. Science is a method we use to try to understand and explain the world around us in a rational and consistent way.

Just because we use this method does not mean we have to reject the possibility of the existence of god(s) or of a 'spiritual' dimension to our universe.

However, the demands of most religions are incompatible with the scientific method as they involve the acceptance of (often quite outlandish) assumptions without offering testable evidence for their validity.

It's obviously ridiculous to class all religious people as 'simple-minded'. All that can be said is that they are, at least where faith is concerned, thinking irrationally. That's something in common with most of humanity for the majority of our lives.
