Comic Genesis Forums

I'm looking at the most recently displaying comic on 12/3/06, which is RJH's most recent part of his witnessing. I will state now that I have no problems with his witnessing. What I do insist on is that the truth be given properly, not in half-doses. Those people who started the country, running fro...

That's how I've always thought of it. Don't be an asshole. Blunt, to the point, easy to understand. I can't say I disagree with anything Calbeck said. Even the heads of the Catholic Church have said the Bible is not to be taken absolutely literally. Couldn't "let there be light" be a metaphor for t...

Yes, religion can be hope for people. It can also be a way to keep the people cowed, and a way to control a people, and any number of other things. For him, it is hope. And whether or not we share a religion (we don't), I'm happy for him. He knows his place in the universe because of his religion - ...

It's been a while since I posted anything here, but I'm seeing interesting things here that I don't know if people are even realising that they're doing. At least one person suggested that someone (Keynes?) should have been executed for his political leanings. And it was by someone who professed to ...

I loved this one! Especially since a couple of friends of mine did that once to some Japanese tourists. The Japanese were bitching about how rude the Americans were, and how stupid, and filthy, and .... well, you get the idea. If there was a bad thing they could say, they did. My friends made the po...

I knew I was being to subtle... *sigh* There was a pun war going, especially regarding her method of "death" (I'm not convinced she's dead, myself...) Let me rephrase it a different way: Hey Jack, ketch ing up on this is going to be difficult... Going out of the way for it - and I hope I'm not the o...

Any possibility some of us newbies to the strip can ketch a break learning what's happening?



(Us newbies who spent too much time reading the ENTIRE archives in one sitting, that is...)

As I recall, when they were releasing "Hunt for Red October", it was slowed up because they were trying to find a place to put some sex. Someone pointed out, "Uh, guys, this takes place mostly on an all-male submarine - do you really want to go there?"

And (at the least geologically speaking) it has been demonstrated that a lot of things assumed to take centuries or eons can occur in a rather short period of time. Accidents with artificial dams have demonstrated that "centuries" of water erosion can take place in days or even hours....One of the ...

Re: atheism as religion - I only use that to describe the rabid ones, who can't seem to let someone else's religious beliefs alone. "You WON'T believe, and I'll see to it you DON'T!" Those are the ones that I refer to having the religion of atheism. As for the age of the Earth - I'm not saying that ...

I read a rather interesting book recently from an agnostic (I think - he says he's non-religious), who makes an effort to point out some of the holes in what he refers to as Neo-Darwinism. He's a science reporter (and curse me for a fool for not being able to remember his name right now) who careful...

Re: "shoving religion down someone's throat" I consider it shoving if I say, "Sorry, not interested at this time", and the person in question insists on continuing with their attempts to convince me of the rightness of their faith. Mind you, as far as I'm concerned, this applies to Christians, Wicca...

I find myself wondering if Ben is terrified of clowns? I know people who can't stand clowns, because there's something scary about them. (To those people, that is.) If Ben is one of those people, then that would explain why the self-destructive urge manifested as a clown. As for the rest of the conv...

Gun control is hitting your target. Obviously, Sgt. Lowery knows this. And only a truly idiotic judge would ever permit anything to happen against him. (Although we have more than a few of 'em out there...) "Gee, the sergeant was shot first, and only then shot and killed his attacker. Must be guilty...

To inject a more humanistic POV here - How about it being yet another part of his subconscious? After all, he's got one hell of an inferiority complex, and doesn't really believe that he deserves Lily sometimes. Not that I necessarily believe what I just wrote to be true - we have a wonderfully snea...

Those people on this list who are Christians, seem to believe that Noa's Scenario #1 is correct: There is a Hell, it's the way that the Christians say it is, and there's only one way to avoid it. What's that way? Jesus Christ. Here's why I have a problem with it. Ask most Christians, and they will t...

Why do so many Christians consider the fright tactic to be a valid one? "If you don't accept Jesus as your Savior, you're going to Hell." I won't go into (again) my problems with the concept of hell (if you're curious, ask me off-list at kinsfire@kinsfire.net), but fear of it should not be the main ...

Methinks that's just a leetle bit backwards...

Mmm...sounds wonderful. I will admit to a certai fondness for black raspberry pie, though. Fresh from the oven, with a nice flaky crust...

Sorry, I'm drooling...

Concerning this entire evolution discussion: Did anyone note that I referred to evolution as a theory? There are other suggestions out there as to what may have happened. (There is apparently some evidence that LaMarck (sp?) may have been at least slightly right.) For some reason, a lot of scientist...
