A very odd entry today. This is the only mere mortal comic written from the perspective of theism. It features an "atheistic" mere mortal being squashed by the "deity" whose existence he denies, then another mere mortal blaming the Artist/deity for the tragedy. At the time I think I was trying to make the point that people deny the existence of God, but God can kick their asses, and then they whine and complain to God after their asses have been kicked. The argument is weakened however, since my opinion of God seems to reflect dystheism: the Artist is decidedly not a good guy, if he's crushing his own creations with random safes. There are a lot of deeper levels of analysis here....one could almost say that this comic emblemizes the whole mess of confusion that was my mind at the time. I believed in God, and I believed that God smote people, but smiting people is bad, so God must be bad, but who are we to question God anyway...etc.
I'd just like to clarify that I no longer believe in God, nor do I believe that people are smitten by supernatural forces. I like to think I'm better for it, too.
