This Sunday: Losing My Religion... Gregorian style!
Found over on Dynamics of Cats! I actually can't stand the original song, not because of the subject matter, I just don't like it. Not an R.E.M. fan but I do like some of thems's songs.
I did have something I wanted to write about but for the life of me I can't remember! I got the swine flu... or maybe the Dengue fever... OK, it's just a cold but I feel like crap. If I think of it later I'll post it.
Best,

Circus of the Damned in May
ANITA BLAKE: CIRCUS OF THE DAMNED—THE INGENUE #5 (of 5)
Written by Laurell K. Hamilton & Jess Booth
Pencils by Ron Lim
Cover by Brett Booth
FROM BESTSELLING AUTHOR LAURELL K. HAMILTON: A new series of vampire attacks have kept Anita’s hands full. This time, it seems that this is the work of a pack of vampires instead of a lone predator – and they’ve been after Anita for the name of the Master of the City, but she won’t give up Jean-Claude. But will protecting Jean-Claude cost her something more dear?

I won't post the unfinished colored version since Andrew isn't happy with it. We got a bit sidetracked with 55 and everyone sort of forgot about solicitations, but don't worry it's being inked and will soon look quite neato;) Shouldn't happen with 58 a I'm going to be working on that one tomorrow.

I can't hear you this Sunday, my ears are bleeding!
This has been all over so I'll keep the chain of insanity going:
This is how I know there is no God. If he actually existed these people would have been smitted (smitetten?) when they were making this horrible, horrible video. It's not the lyrics, bad as Christian rock is, its the singing! I managed to get through the whole thing, but Jess had to stop after the first chorus. And before Steve get's all pissy about the Christian rock crack... I'm sorry they are almost universally bad, BUT I do like Love Thy Will Be Done by Martika, beautiful song.
More art this week as my first JLA issue ships and the cover to 57 will be released... I think.
Best!

Is it possible to get something from nothing? This Sunday it is!
So one of the things I keep hearing over and over again is this something from nothing (I'm fairly sure that this pertains to life but be bear with me.) It turns out on a quantum level the universe creates something from nothing all the time and it's been tested and proven. Really interesting stuff go here for the details!
Also a new orbiting telescope has found a ton of planets outside our solar system. Not really Sunday material, but really friggin' cool! If a third of the 200 million stars in our galaxy have planets (that makes 66 million stars with planets by the way) and 6% of those are the right size and in the right place for liquid water. Then that makes 3,960,000 planets with the possibility to support life... Makes you wonder why this wasn't mentioned in the Bible, only the stars already known and some constellations, nothing about other planets or those dreaded aliens;)

Detailed Layouts
A few months ago I was asked by my buddies at SeaLion to do a few pages of detailed layouts to help out. This is the result.
It was pointed out to me that I haven't posted any new art. Well I've only had time to do JLA and that Green Lantern cover and I can't post that yet;)
Anywho, I'm on to the big push to get 55 done so I'll be fairly busy these next 10 days. But I do have some more of these so if I go quiet just remind me to post more;)
Best!

Is the Truth different on Sunday?
So, what is truth? I'm beginning to think that that word had different meaning for the religious and science minded. For the religious, the truth is the word of god as described in the bible. For the science minded, I like this one (the post is actually quite good as well):
"A scientific truth is more complex than a colloquial truth, it's requirements being that it is free of contradiction with logic and reality and supported by reason and evidence."
I keep hearing that (insert religion here) is true but time after time I am given no evidence, when I ask for it I get something on morals or the mind of god or lately MONKEYS and that evolution isn't true because some Creationist 'scientists' say so. I have a hard time wrapping my mind around the circular reasoning I keep coming across. How can I accept that what these 'scientists' say when what their followers are saying has nothing to do with science and everything to do with faith? When everything they say goes against hundreds of years of research and understanding? I guess it all goes back to the truth, or biblical truth since they aren't the same thing. One sounds lovely... being special, having a soul, being loved. The other fighting tooth and nail to survive, adaption and evolving to find a place in the ever changing environment. One 'supported' by biblical truth the other by science and reason.
I was asked why I do this in a recent post, the person seemed to think that I must still believe in god or I would just sit quietly in the corner and I guess stare at the wall. I do this because someone has to. To sit by and let the religious 'right' take over and force their religion on other is bothersome in mind to say the least, here is one example and here's another. Sitting by and letting these things happen, letting this insanity go unchecked and unopposed to me is worse than being on the opposing side. By saying nothing, you condone them. And by letting them take over you run the risk of turning this country and others into another Uganda, where the church and its followers are now trying to pass laws to execute homosexuals and witches... Because the bible says so, these are biblical truths (you can go here for some of the details). Most Christians would be appalled by this, but by doing and saying nothing you've given them the green light, what's next Atheists and Wiccan? Hindus and Jews? What will it take to get you off your asses and tell people that this kid of thing is wrong? They are accusing children of being witches and killing them!
So, if the biblical truth is actually so very unlike the new Christian views with their Buddy Christ, than how can you keep telling me the bible is true if you don't actually follow it? That simple truth, to me speaks volumes.
And to end this weeks post a very interesting video on How to be a Good Creationist!
Best!

There you go M.O.R. I got it done on Sunday;)
Since I have yet to be given any evidence I went looking and I found this! Wow, I really hope his science teachers never see this, but I'm willing to bet he may have been home schooled;) If this is the evidence, I can't every take anything a creationists says seriously.
