I'm currently reformatting and updating the site. It might be messy around here for a while. Some features will not work at this time. Come back soon.

The following is my email response to a post I found on craigslist, which I will mirror here after the jump. I don't normally respond to every random christian hate post, but I had to this time, in defense of George Carlin.
Your post wasn't openly celebrating George's death, but you are trying to use it as a recruiting tool. Atheism isn't a weak stance that you can just convert people by saying that one of our beloved champions is burning in hell. Shame on you for stooping to the same level as those who were openly happy to see Falwell die. Do you picket funerals along with the Westboro Baptist Church? Do you realize that atheists are good people? Do you understand that they do good things for the world? They are your scientists, your doctors, your fast food workers, your mechanics, your neighbors, and possibly your friends. The main difference between us and you is belief in a fairy tale. We don't waste our time on our knees praying because it is the "safer bet." (see Atheist's Wager) And when someone is in trouble we either do something about it or we don't; we don't lull ourselves into a false sense of worth by doing nothing (praying) and then pretending like we did something. Other than being "blasphemous" what did George Carlin ever do to deserve an ETERNITY in hell? What kind of sadistic evil being do you worship that would damn someone to eternal hellfire just for not believing in something that is illogical to believe in? Any rational and compassionate deity would not do such stupid things. According to christians, you can rape and murder and then ask for forgiveness and you'll go to heaven. On the other hand if you are an atheist who lives an good life and never harmed anyone, that person is going to hell. I ask you, what kind of god is that? Is that a being worth worshiping? The answer of course is no. And if that god is benevolent enough to accept a good person regardless of their earth religion (or lack of), then what is the point in any religion at all? If you were born in India to a Hindu family, would god send you to hell for never converting to christianity even though you were never exposed to it? I encourage you to take a critical look at your beliefs. Question why christianity says the things it does. Research where the bible really came from, and who it was written and (more importantly) edited by. Question the world around you and question your own faith. Try to see the world as a whole, instead of just your limited local view. Come to conclusions on your own, because only then can you truly see the world as it really is.

I'm sure many of you have read and/or heard of the passing of Heath Ledger. In reading articles here and there, I have gotten wind that Fred Phelps of the ..:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />Westboro Baptist Church and his congregation plan on picketing at the funeral. "WTF?" I thought when I heard this news. I looked deeper into the subject because I just had to know the reason. The church (WBC) is picketing because of the role Ledger played in Brokeback Mountain. Phelps claims that Ledger is a "fag-enabler". Well, isn't that nice? I pondered (yes, I pondered) why this Phelps guy seemed so familiar to me. Then it dawned on me! This is the same whack job that was protesting at funerals of fallen service members. I had to go Google crazy on my pc. I had to find out exactly what sort of sicko does this sort of stuff and is able to get people to actually FOLLOW him.

You expect tattle-tailing and childishness from children. Even when children act that way it's irritating. But when you have adults acting that way, it's just out right retarded. It is really pisses me off. I mean, how old are you? I'm the sort of person that doesn't like to start shit. If an issue comes out that I can reslove like a MATURE adult, then that is how I will resolve it. I know I'm going to hear shit about writing this but I don't care. Some people need to just grow up! I have a neighbor who we'll call Mary (for the sake of not confusing everyone) that seems to want to stick her nose in everyone's business and it just isn't right. Who the hell cares if the neighbor down the street who we'll call Cher has a man at her house? Maybe Cher IS cheating on her husband but since when is that any of our business? Maybe Cher's neighbor Jane is too.

I checked my bank statement today and saw the following line: 9/25/2007 CEL JESUS CHRIST $35.72 I'm not a Christian, so there is no way my money is going to something with JESUS CHRIST in the title. I found a really phony looking site at celjesuschrist.net (I'm not going to link it to increase its search engine relevance). Here is the WHOIS information: Domain Name: CELJESUSCHRIST.NET

***This is also posted on the Forums. You hear all the time from U.S. citizens that "We're the FREEST NATION ON EARTH". Interestingly, that statement is made more and more simply because it's more and more all that U.S. citizens are allowed to say! Talk about Freedom! So, as a reactionary, I made This |

Time for more Bible quotes to help you be a better Christian! John 15:6: "If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." Genesis 38:8-10: Then Judah said to Onan, "Go in to your brother's wife, and perform your duty as a brother-in-law to her, and raise up offspring for your brother." Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so when he went in to his brother's wife, he wasted his seed on the ground in order not to give offspring to his brother. But what he did was displeasing in the sight of the LORD; so He took his life also. Ezekiel 4:15: Then He said to me, "See, I will give you cow's dung in place of human dung over which you will prepare your bread." Isaiah 36:12: "Has my master sent me only to your master and to you to speak these words, and not to the men who sit on the wall, doomed to eat their own dung and drink their own urine with you?" Jeremiah 16:4: "They will die of deadly diseases, they will not be lamented or buried; they will be as dung on the surface of the ground and come to an end by sword and famine, and their carcasses will become food for the birds of the sky and for the beasts of the earth." Luke 14:26: "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." Romans 13:1: Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God.

Today I received a couple pictures of the first ever Digital Absolution fan art (that I am aware of). The artists did an excellent job, so I thought it was worth sharing. Click on the thumbnails below, or you can find them in the comic section. Big thanks Legato!   Have fan art you want to submit? Want to make a guest comic? Use the Contact tab to get in touch with me, or simply register and post it yourself!

Lately, I've been thinking alot about people...people in general but mainly the people in my life. I think I have made it to a realization that everybody has a defect but through all of those defects there are these strengths that lie within each of them. I think for too long I have focused so much on the negative of everyone around me that I have lost sight of all that is positive. There is something growing inside of me. No! I am not pregnant. However, in a metaphorical sense I am. It's like another version of me is growing. Think of it as Ashley 2.0. It's about time for an upgrade, people. Twenty-six years with same software is just beyond ridiculous.

Listen up Nintendo... Don't know if you got the memo or not, but excellence just isn't gonna cut it anymore. We finally received our Wii at the office last Friday, and after spending most of the weekend playing Wii Sports and Zelda, all I can say is: It's not enough. Sure, Twilight Princess is the best looking Zelda game ever. And sure, the motion-based controls and built-in remote speaker add a new degree of immersion. And sure, it might just be the most fun game released this year. But that's just it, Nintendo. You don't get "it." Fun's for babies. Gamers these days don't buy consoles for fun. Do you think I spent two weeks waiting in the pouring rain for a PS3 for "fun?" |
