Inkbunny

Gene should have reconsidered his words, esp. around a bunny girl. ^^

I drank only half the bottle. ^^ I just worry about the world.

I have faith in God, sure, but not much in man. :(

And i have faith only in those i care about ^^

But...i would also say i believe in everything as long as it isn't proved impossible. XD
Gods...old and "less old", legendary creatures, people honesty and good will...as long as i'm not proved wrong.
But weird enough...i'm still able to like some people even if i don't believe in them

Things doesn't need that we believe in them to exist even if it is most welcome if we have someone that believe in us ^^

It's impossible to prove God doesn't exist, as one cannot prove a negative. Similarly, we know Gene and Timmy do not exist, but you can't use science to 'prove' it.
Yet, we know Gene and Timmy do not exist. What about God?

From my perspective, if God exists, He would be:

1. outside the system
2. the agent

Science explores the physical, the chemical, etc., but can say nothing about that which is outside the human perimeter of research. That is, if something is not within the perimeter of the 'testable', it effectively doesn't exist. That doesn't mean such things have no reality--it means only their reality is outside the observable.

Science can tell you most everything about most anything in our world. Let's use InkBunny as an example...
Science can explain the internet, computer graphics, servers, etc---it's all exhaustively understood by the human mind. ...Yet, it would tell you nothing about 'why' there is an InkBunny, or 'who' made InkBunny---you'd need GreenReaper for that! XD

God is the agent. We humans understand the mechanisms, etc., but we cannot see a 'maker', for they (if they exist) would stand outside their creation.

For me, God exists in the coincidences and experiences I've had in my life. Atheists hate these 'explanations' because they are personal, untestable, and are subject to interpretation. That's where faith comes in.

Faith is NOT blind---faith is trust, hope and courage. We trust that IF God exists, He will hear us. We hope for justice, peace and all that which God promises those who love Him. And we've the courage to assert our beliefs and act on them when we've nothing left to give ourselves (hence the verse that when we are weak, God is strong').

What i meant was more like...how could i say that...you can prove that you can't trust someone if he betray you. But saying you can't prove a negative make sens indeed and that's a good example you gives ^^

Somehow, i still could say that for Gene and Timmy, if i remember well, you have taken part of yourself as inspiration to make them...so somehow we could say that a little part of them exist XD

I'm definitely not an atheist then. I believed i was one because i didn't like any religion through (and still doesn't). But today i do believe things exist outside the observable as you say like god. But i always had a question...most people believe only in the one we call God today. Do you believe that other ones exist/had existed ?

I also believed i had some helping hands that i couldn't grab to assist me, if it make sens ^^
I like your definition of faith, i think i'll keep it somewhere. :D

Also, does the word "agnostic" say something to you ? I think i have heard that word someday but i don't really understand the meaning of it.

An agnostic is someone who neither believes nor disbelives in God or gods.

There have been other gods, such as those of ancient Greece, etc. But most of these gods were either 'gods of the gaps' (that is, explanations for things we didn't understand) or were otherwise representing physical phenomena.

In other words, they were all earthbound.

God is not a god of the gaps, nor is He a human concept. God created the heavens and the earth, not the other way around. :3

Cool story :)

As for Jesus dringking the whole bottle... Well, I don't suppose He would drink out of boredom, or to "make the troubles go away", but actually why wouldn't He drink the whole bottle? He even told us that He was accused of being "a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.", so I don't think he was abstinent.

Also a fun fact - pencil in Polish is "ołówek" which literally contains the word "ołów" - lead. This is not only due to the original egyptian ancient pencils were made of lead, but also due to the early name for graphite in Polish being "black lead".

@ Gashren

I didn't think you read my descriptions. :3

From Judges 9:13.

"And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees?"

God likes wine, too (wine offerings, etc). :3 ...I do believe we're to moderate ourselves. it's the whole 'Christian example' thing---if others see us overindulging ourselves, how could that affect our Christian message?

I have been gently chided a few times for the things I've said and done here (like with my wandering the highway and dreading I was going to Hell because I drew a paw or something).
I feel I must be very honest and open with my watchers---if I'm sitting alone and drinking, I want someone to know it. That said, most everyone also knows I'm a Christian. It's precarious territory because, on one hand, I'm a human being---I make no pretences about that. On the other, the general perception is all Christians are happy ...and that just isn't true.

I'm saved from the ultimate consequences of sin, but not from the immediate consequences of my bad decisions and/or from the effects of my chronic depression, cynicism and willfulness.

Oh lol you don't have to be. And that's okay lol. That's just a cartoon I'm into. And it's a modern cartoon as well, making it MUCH newer than some of the shows both me AND you are interested in lol. But yeah obviously I'm into MUCH more than just Mini Wolf lol

Most anything made for TV after the mid 2000's is mostly a mystery for me. :3

Same for me honestly. After the mid 00's, I'm VERY selective when it comes to interests in cartoon shows. Since a lot of them I don't like AT ALL. But Mini Wolf and Doki for example, are the ONLY modern cartoons I actually like. Other than that I'm a full on 80's, 90's and half of 00's guy lol

I find it hard to get into cartoons of any vintage these days. My interests in them now are mostly just in terms of the art (animation, character design and so forth). Many newer cartoons (esp. for young children) seem to have a very PC, focus-group-driven vibe to them, and shows for older kids tend to be very (uh) 'liberal'. :P

I dunno.

Pretty mucxh! XD

I colored them with an old yellow pencil from the 1960's (or thereabouts---it's difficult to date these).
The coloring didn't actually have lead in it, albeit, the paint on the pencil had (which is where the myth if you stick someone with a pencil, they'll get lead poisoning comes from---in truth, it was worse to chew on them). ^^
