Thats kind of what I was trying to say. I'm terrible at clear explainations some times. I think a good debate brings more realism to the comic though and helps draw people in. Be it that people agree or disagree, it brings in more hits and helps expand peoples understanding for the most part.oni wrote:That my point THEY ALWAYS seem to have magnanimous amount of valid points using logic to mix and match it with illogical fantasy induced facts (IMHO). Again, don't know for sure if Gisele or Dave need to be going for something like this so soon early in the story, already we're in debate (agreeing to disagree) over this.
And now.. since I'm bored of quote trees... lol
@Ray D: I agree with everything you've had to say on Gary and how religion could have messed him up along with the other social aspects of his life. I'm sorry that you find my religious veiw a little negative... I'm not down on religion, or against religion. They have done as much good as they have bad over the years, I just seriously dislike how people have so easily come to use religion as a reason/excuse/weapon for their own personal agendas and misdemeanours... Which takes me to:
@David Johnston: As above, I was using them to point out how religion has become used to excuse peoples behaviour and to cause trouble. I know the KKK's reason are just plain racism, but they've used the Bible as their excuse for it... Even though they seem to have completely jump over the fact that Jesus was black. Historical fact that Jesus was born Jewish, and all people of Jewish faith in that area at the time were of Arabic origin. Okay, so perhaps he wasn't black, but Jesus certainly wasn't white as the Catholic and Christian chruches as a whole choose to depict him. Same with the Nazi's in that even though their hated for the Jew's came from Hitlers own bad experiences and personal hatred for the rich Jewish business men during the depression in Germany after the first world war, they still came to use religion as a further excuse for them being in the wrong.
