Religion and Comic Books
Life. Sometimes it just hands you amusement on a silver platter. Some time ago our Four Musketeers who write on Comics and...Other Imaginary Tales touched on religion and science, a curiously hotbed issue in the USA and among more than a few other spots in the world, though less so here in our wonderful blog world. We have one of our number who's a devout Christian, believing the literal truth of the Bible. I'm the only outright atheist amongst the remaining three. I'll not lay any claim to what the other two believe. They can share that if they like. We do not have sectarian strife.
I'm one of the rare atheists who likes religion. I don't believe a lick of it but really like the stories. That's one reason why I've studied religion a good bit. In college I took several courses on religion. I've read the Bible, the Quran, the Book of Mormon, some Upanishads, some Compassionate Budha, a lot of Native American myth stories, and a lot of Greek/Roman mythology, with a lesser amount of Norse, Japanese, and Chinese myth. Oh, yeah, some Aztek, Maya and Inca myth, too.
