Had to see what all the hubbub was about Jack... :o I read it... and re-read it... and for reasons I can't even begin to comprehend, I downloaded every page. I think I must have cried the better part of a dozen times. It's horrific and strangely comforting... but like the car wreck that you see pull...

OY! I don't know what's more disturbing... the fact that it's signed "Jesus" or the fact that it makes a referance to "truckin'." Jesus signature looks remarkably like other Jesus signatures I have seen in the past. The Holy Bible is very old and the leather is a bit worn. The clasp on the Bible is ...

Ralph, Appreciate the clear-up, though I was shooting for something a bit more on the existential nature of Sin and the way you were using it in your strip. I think I'll revisit that when you've completed the current storyline and save us from further speculation. One of the more difficult concepts ...

Alright, I didn't get nearly enough abuse in the Religion and Morality thread so lets see if I can stir the pot and keep this "logical and well reasoned" debate going. I'll admit it, I saw the cross in Ben's hand and started to breathe heavily in a state of "atheist panic," but after a fairly short ...

And here I thought everone had given up on this line... Okay, no recriminations (though I have just about bit my tongue off fighting the urge), but I think we have gone so far off topic here that we are missing what the original point of this discourse was: Morality and Religion: Are they inseperabl...

Then again... watching one of the posse get squished WOULD make me a little stressed too.

A bit obscure to be pulling old prog rock lyrics... Though I must confess, the more I look at it... the more I like it!

*blinks several times* O-kaaaay... don't know how or even why I'm continuing this, but here goes again... hopefully for the last time. I will warn those who have read through this series that I am now going to get rather mean spirited. First off, let me just say that this is exactly the reason why I...

Calbeck, I was going to suggest we do a "point by point" arguement (after apologizing for putting words in your mouth, of course) but I think I better address Strange_Wulf first. Hope you don't mind. "You can think me divisive, that's okay. Jesus brought a sword, not peace. If you're not saved, you ...

Calbeck, ... :o Hate to say it but your entire arguement seems to boil down to "God has to be around so he can add 'teeth' to morality." Which is waaaaay off the topic. Madcat asked me how an atheist could come to a solid moral code to follow, and I was giving one of several philosophical answers (a...

One of the points that I should bring up right about now is the fact that organized religion, personal beliefs and secular people do not own exclusive rights on stupidity, arrogance or beligerance. Doesn't matter what political group, social class, ethnic or religious persuasion you fall under, chan...

*taps Madcat on the shoulder* well, you did want a discourse... look at this mess!

I'd chime in with some personal takes but it wouldn't amount to much. At least we're well past the steriotyping and name calling, which is a definate bonus.

Noa

Madcat, Seeing as you asked so nicely: Most ethical standards can be based outside of the notion of a morally perfect and omnipotent creator by recognizing that we all have to live with one another and certain standards need to be in place for that to happen (at least with any success). A lot of thi...

Rennen, First off, the notion that you are not speaking for all non-theists is irrellivent. Two sides of a debate are being shown here and you are clearly on one side. When I mentioned the fact that I was an atheist, I just wanted to let you know that you weren't going to be able to use the excuse "...

Rennen, from one atheist to another, please shut the "ficticious final resting place of sinners" up. How do you intend on winning any points here? Listing the flaws of another's arguement, citing hypocracy or demonstrating an absolute need to be "right"? Get over the notion that clubbing a person to...

So much for the "let's not go there" comment I made earlier. Not the first time I've been ignored (has a minor self-esteem complex then continues). I think that reconciling the difficult problems and disagreements between empirical evidence and the teachings of faith is a fine way of dodging. The ar...

Oh no... again? First off, let me explain that I am an athiest. There, it's out in front with no qualifiers or apologies. Now then, can we PLEASE not get into this battle between the theistic and the non-theistic? I've gone into these debates so many times in the past that I am convinced of only one...

Actually, I hate to throw this out, but I think Mr. Hayes couched that equation from an ancient earth movie called the Ninth Configuration... which I think is somehow an inspiration for Petey's current problems in sanity. I'd seek conformation, but that involves way more effort than I'm willing to p...

all riiiighty then.... ferrets it is. I'm just wondering if the sudden apperance of new posse members is gonna be a recuring theme here... Ben already has six and the only other person who has a posse was doing fine with two (http://utlt.keenspace.com/d/20010820.html ). This keeps up, Ben will need ...

Okay, we have votes on "ferret" and "weasel"... I thought it was a rather short racoon myself (which explains the mask). As for what it represents, I think it's an offshoot of Ben's "devious" nature.

any other guesses on "what"?
