Quick defense against "New Atheism"
Posted on February 20, 2019 at 11:00am 0 Comments 2 Likes
Many of us spend a great deal of time on the net, and are exposed to a great deal of the world and its philosophies because of that. This morning I came across a laudatory summary of the current thoughts of Sam Harris one of the current spokesmen for the ‘New Atheism.”
I want to keep this short, so I’m going to dodge taking a jab at the erroneous ‘New’ in the New Atheism label (Genesis 3). I’m going to quickly gloss over Sam Harris’s respectable life(Wiki Sam Harris)…

Four ongoing comics that I regularly check on for excellent art and storytelling:
1) Beauty and the Beast - Delightful yet different than Disney's take on this fairy tale. Amazing ink work. http://www.batb.thecomicseries.com/comics/
2) Endtown - Post-apocalyptic brutality coupled with over the top character development and artwork.…

Gaborgenheit is a word that I want to hold on to. Its such a lovely concept that it has its own Wiki page but... the word is not "sticky" in the way that some words cling in your memory. Still Gaborgenheit is worth a Deviant Journal entry.

Effectively animated Comic strip
The Bouletcorp (http://english.bouletcorp.com/ ) is a strip done by a widely published French cartoonist who is slowly translating some of his works into English (One strip every month or so). The strips vary from weird to hilarious, but what caught my eye was Boulet’s 3.28.18 strip (“When I am alone”), in which the the punch of the strip is made by five animated panels . Having never seen…

Thank you, Brien, I am in college in figure drawing lass.
My goal was to draw comics; especially Christian comics, I
have drawn out the first issue and havelayouts for the second. Though it is a hero it is a horror based Christian super hero story. It is clever in content, because the horror genre is hard to incorporate into Christian writing. Anybody interested in a pitch. if so I would be pleased to chat. Thank you, Bob.

Hi Brien! Happy New Years! Thanks for the heads up on my Amazon author link. I have corrected it now. Please let me know if you have any issues.
I've written a book called "Biblical Knowledge, Understanding & Wisdom," which you should be able to see on the Amazon page. Thanks and God bless!

Dear Mr. Sparling:
You're more than welcome. It is always a joy to see the work you do.
In regards to my hero's ability to fly, I had thought of an outward piece of equipment as well as appendages (wings), and neither seemed like a good idea. The thought I had was a cross between Captain America and Superman. The story I had was a young man whose father was exposed to a radioactive material with mutagenic properties in an attempt to produce a better soldier. It didn't work on the father, but those abilities manifested in the son, who wound up with increased physical abilities.
I did have a thought in writing this: what if he gained limited abilities to manipulate energy, such as magnetism or electricity? That would give him the ability of flight as well as other abilities to differentiate him from the heroes I've been inspired by. What do you think?
God Bless You,
Mike Jacobs

Thanks! I have only been to one city in Croatia, right on the border. Haven't met too many people there. There is some really beautiful work happening in former Yugoslavia and Eastern Europe though.
