Fundie-Cats

Warning: If you are a highly conservative Christian or intolerant of people who satire said group, you probably don't want to read the comic or this post. Thanks.

Sinfest is one of my favorite comics. I love his sense of humor, and sadly I can so often relate to his characters. Contrary to the title, the comic isn't a tribute to excess, though the characters often indulge in it. It is more a commentary on life and the struggles of indulgence and guilt and indulgence again. Oh, and sometimes cute cats and dogs.

This one had me rolling as it took one of my favorite cartoons as a kid (having rewatched a couple episodes I don't know why. The voice acting is horrid and the plot nonsensical) Thundercats and made it Fundie-cats! Fundamentalists ho! Smite that evil! My friend mentioned it reminded him of the "Christian" video games that were out there when we were kids. On of my favorites was Joshua where you could get ram's horn trumpets to call down the "Wrath of God."

Its interesting how far I've come from those days. Violence in God's name or against evil isn't any better than evil violence. (Sadly sometimes it is a last resort.) Merely putting "Christian" on something doesn't make it Godly. And Sinfest is hilarious even though it occasionally skewers the faith I hold dear. Well, more the people who hold to that faith....

Juggling Nukes with My Pants on Fire

Tatsuya Ishida has a direct line to God I think. Sorta like the Pope. Trust me on this.

Its spreading...

Least I'm not the only one who sees parallels....
here & here I loves me some Sinfest...

Also, I got the RAM installed in my Linux box. I've sorta figured out how to use it. I mean, the basic programs I can use fine. But I still haven't figured out how to use the packages that don't create their own little icons on my menu tree.

I'll work on it. I don't know if I have to install them again...or compile them, or what. Oh well, FreeCiv works and I've been wasting FAR too much time on that right now. Ahh, I love me Civ games.

Russia Reprise!

Sinfest, a great if irreverent, webcomic, appears to agree with me about Russia!
