Hobbes really has it figured out.
Calvin is intellect, Hobbes is wisdom. But sometimes they’re both dumb. I like it. Very much.
As an atheist I get asked this. Like I would have no reason to live if there wasn’t a god. I live my best life and enjoy all the good things life has to offer. And seafood with friends are one of the good things. Shrimp is a very good thing.😁
They have no idea how to live without God, so they assume it is the same for everyone
It’s rather easy to live without God. Just live the same way you currently do, except stop reading the Bible, praying, and going to church. It’s not hard. I did it.
Under a Roman Christian theology, the lord isn’t just some guy. He’s the personification of the quality of existence in the universe.
Look at it this way: imagine if the colour purple walked up to you and said hi. He’s every purple crayon, every purple flower, every purple tee shirt. He is purpleness itself. If you shot him dead with a gun, all the purple in the universe would disappear and there would be one less colour.
Now imagine someone shot Existence dead with a gun. Nothing would exist anymore. To most Christians, this is precisely what they imagine a world without the lord would look like. They are baffled by the idea that atheists think they live in such a world.
Personally, I prefer the original polytheistic interpretation of Judaism, and I think Roman adoption of Christianity is the single worst thing to ever happen to the world.
Do you know I’ve been sitting here thinking to myself: that if I didn’t believe in life, if I lost faith in the woman I love, lost faith in the order of things, were convinced in fact that everything is a disorderly, damnable, and perhaps devil-ridden chaos, if I were struck by every horror of man’s disillusionment – still I should want to live. Having once tasted of the cup, I would not turn away from it till I had drained it!

“Well i’m not dead yet so i may as well keep going.”
Hobbes understands that the secret to life is crab. 🦀🦀🦀
He really will do anything for a tuna fish sandwich.
Is it possible to sharpen the posted images? This way the text would be better readable.
