I love them and read your blog almost everyday.<BR/><BR/>Although I am a Christian and I named my son Noah, I agree that mixing religious beliefs with other things, is dangerous.<BR/><BR/>I have been thinking of writing a book, tentatively titled, " Why People Stop Believing In God / I Am Not A Dog ". Even within the church, there are power plays in the mix. These other things really turn me off, because people in positions of power are abusing their authority, and passing it off as God's holy will. My Muslim friends tell me that this also happens in the mosque. In my book, power plays is only one of several reasons why people stop believing in God.<BR/><BR/>If it ever gets published in some form, would you be willing to write the Foreword ?<BR/><BR/>Please email me at honda_stream1211@hotmail.com<BR/><BR/>Thanks & Best Wishes,<BR/>LennardDr Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16433038182483322929noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-41372439148384820602008-11-25T17:16:00.000-08:002008-11-25T17:16:00.000-08:00Dan, thanks for your excellent example of clear th...Dan, thanks for your excellent example of clear thinking.

But I will admit that when accepting the results of those outside your field, it takes some faith in those people to believe their results. But a good scientist shouldn't take it on faith, and should point out that it's not 100% certain those rocks came from Mars, just somewhat likely.<BR/><BR/>Mr. Piraro himself: You often seem to mention restraining your political impulses in your cartoons, or noting the ire raised by their (perhaps inadvertent) political content- ever consider doing a separate run of just political cartoons?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11067630201555753254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-69861578575177602082008-11-25T14:11:00.000-08:002008-11-25T14:11:00.000-08:00I think the cartoon is funny.

I believe your humor is up there with a number of my favorites in that it takes at least average intelligence to understand it and sometimes much more. It's funny when people take it seriously as an insult to religion or something. Of course, I'm not a Christian. I grew seeing religion in society all around me. I think it gives you a different perspective to not belong to a majority group.Jodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07893113808078485167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-30311332313924148452008-11-25T13:52:00.000-08:002008-11-25T13:52:00.000-08:00jeremy, fallacy...what does act of giving bj hav...jeremy,<BR/><BR/> fallacy...what does act of giving bj have to do with itSAYOTTE316https://www.blogger.com/profile/04532263143359990278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-57758779470408153782008-11-25T13:45:00.000-08:002008-11-25T13:45:00.000-08:00But DAN, science tells us we're all gonna die.

It makes me think about the exhaust from my SUV. Why should I?<BR/><BR/>I think the bible translation got all screwed up when the monks who were copying it got jazzed on wine and ergot. The arc story was actually told to us by God to give us the idea that we are on an arc RIGHT NOW. We are currently pulling off the hull planks to use as XBox 360s and pooping in the galley, so the ship... she's starting to list a little. But wait a second. It's just science telling us that, and I don't believe in science. It tells us we're all gonna die for Chrissakes. <BR/><BR/>Thinking hurts.Mr. Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11403628906935798319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7803930806872297256.post-64035077567507776042008-11-25T13:39:00.000-08:002008-11-25T13:39:00.000-08:00Great cartoon, Dan.

Keep it up by making us laugh AND think.<BR/><BR/>This post was a great read.<BR/><BR/>As an atheist myself I find it funny how a group who claims that they should forgive and turn the other cheek has such a hard time accepting people for having a different opinion than themselves.<BR/><BR/>If you are a Christian and like that, fine and good for you, but please stop the preaching.<BR/><BR/>And please, you claim God exist, you are the one with the responsibility to prove his existence, not me.<BR/>Same as if I claim I can fly like a bird.
