A co-worker of mine recently turned me on to a webcomic that I’m really digging. Check out Questionable Content.
Here’s a little sample - this is an earlier one and the artwork has changed pretty dramatically since then, so explore a little to see what you like.
One of my favorite companies, the RIAA, is now maintaining in court that it is unlawful for a person to copy a legally purchased CD onto his or her computer. I’m just about ready to stop buying albums that are connected to the RIAA. You know, sometimes I listen to songs and write out the lyrics in my journal. Do you think I should stop that? I don’t want to get sued. I should probably stop singing out loud too. That might be stealing. Since when did corporations get to write laws in the US? Oh wait…
Maybe I just haven’t been paying attention, but I don’t think I’ve ever heard a Christian maintain or even suggest that there are actually multiple gods and that some of the authors of the Bible may have believed this. Scott McKnight reviews chapter 3 of God’s Rivals where the author writes about this idea and (judging from the comments) Scott seems to think this is a fairly easy conclusion to make. That got my attention. It seems an idea that would be quickly shot down in discussion.
While we’re on controversial Christian ideas, go vote for the more provocative title: Sex God (Rob Bell) or Pagan Christianity (Frank Viola). I would like to read both, but I don’t know which would sound more shocking to the general church.
