Because I’m a terrible, terrible artist, I draw in stick figures. Also, all stick figures look the same, which is a problem. To try and make them look just a bit different, I give all the crazy religious people in my comics red heads. (See here & here)
I’m open to other suggestions though, if you have any.
@admin: “Crazy” religious people? I wouldn’t call the guy you’re talking to in this strip crazy. Thinking that something is made of three parts is a lot less crazy than thinking something both does and doesn’t exist. For that mater, the people in you’re second example link don’t seem to be crazy either (The guy in the first link, on the other hand definitely is).
@Stefford:
If you’re referring to light, I’ll have you know that everything is both a particle and a wave. (The larger something is the shorter the wavelength, and for macroscopic things it’s so small it makes no measurable effect, but a photon (light particle) is so small, the wavelike nature is much more pronounced.) It’s unknown exactly how this is true, but as Giles said, it’s based on experimental evidence, and there’s no reason for it NOT to be true. Lack of complete knowledge: yes, contradictory: no.
If you’re referring to something else, please elaborate.
@the one guy its called ‘abraxas’ the god who is both the devil and god at the same time pure evil and pure good, nothing and everything all at once. look it up herman hesse does a good job of describing it
But he doesn’t think something is made of 3 parts. At least Catholics (attended private school, I’m well versed) believe Jesus is fully human and fully divine. It’s not cup half full of divine and half full of human, it’s a full cup of divine, a full cup of human, and they co-exist in the same 1 cup space. This is identical to “believe and not believe”. Likewise, the trinity are the same being AND 3 distinct separate beings. Each one is fully god, as the individual, and each one has their own attributes. It’s not 3 parts of 1 god, it’s 3 parts which individually are also the whole. Jesus isn’t 1/3 of God, he IS God. As are God the Father and the Holy Spirit. It’s 3 beings in one, not 3 parts of a whole.
@Bobert:
I have an item in my room. It if fully a desk, it is also fully a construct of wood, it is even fully a storage device (it has drawers). Gasp! It is fully three different things. Ok, so I’m aware that the trinity is not exactly as simple as what the desk situation I described, but my point is that it is not an impossibility for God to be fully three different things, unlike the aforementioned existence and nonexistence at the same time.

Nice. Silly Christians!
RAmen!

But to believe and not believe is contradictory… Guess we’re moving up on the ‘real’ religion list!
RAmen!

It’s like double-think!
I like this, but just one question: Why’s the dude’s head red? Any particular reason?

Another thing the Pastafarians stole from us Discordians… Maybe the Spaghetti Monster is the Greyface and not Bob after all…

“a lot less crazy than thinking something both does and doesn’t exist”
Like particles and waves?

@ Stefford – Based on evidence? Away with ya!
