If there’s a Hell, I’ll see you in San Diego…
Ok, so one of a few things happened last night. I either died in a fireball (which would be a great way to go)– or i made it to San Diego ok. OR… my plane was hijacked… and if it was, please know in your heart of hearts that I punched a terrorist in the face. Then someone build a statue of me in my yard in Fayette-Nam of me punching said terrorist in the face while holding a sketchbook that says Yirmumah. Seriously, someone do that. Thank you.
BUT…. I’m most likely in San Diego RIGHT NOW… getting ready to make my pitch. SOoooo HERE ARE THE DETAILS HOMIES!!!
You can watch the pitches including mine, LIVE ON THE INTERNET at either COMICBOOKCHALLENGE.COM or THIS NBC LINK.
Or, if you miss my pitch, you can read it online at DJCOFFMAN.COM –
Now, the TOP 3 will be picked today, we should know later in the evening if we’re go… and if I’m lucky enough to get in the top 3, I’ll be on the NBC morning show in San Diego tomorrow morning, and then voting opens to the public at www.comicbookchallenge.com — Now, it goes without saying that if I was picked for the top 3, tell everyone you know to go vote at that url. But, we’ll get to that point tomorrow…. don’t want to get TOO far ahead here…
plus, I’m writing this on last MONDAY NIGHT so I’m just guessing. I could have totally went out in a ball of FIRE. Or punching terror in the face. If so…. ahem..ahem, STATUE!
This is it people…feets don’t fail me now.

Holy non sequitur! Hey barman, don’t make any sudden moves as you slowly back away from the schizo.

Just when I think I know where this story is going, it takes an unexpected path to somewhere cleverer and more interesting. It’s devious and challenging. I think DJ may get some other kind of statue, the kind that sits in a display case.

NIN : Heresy. Good song. I think I hear it playing in the background of those panels…

In the Bible, we see the development of god from being Vengeful and violent
to being more merciful later on. Development of character in that span of time (a few thousand years) suggests a being that isnt eternal. If god had been around for a few billion years, interaction with humans wouldnt have changed god like they did. Character development suggests growth, growth suggests aging, and aging implies death.

Nonsense. If a father no longer scolds his son for eating cookies before supper at the age of 20, it’s because the son changed, not the father.

If, on the other hand, the father now simply says he’s terribly disappointed in his son instead of saying he’ll burn him alive in the fiery pits of hell then I’d say it’s Dad that’s changed, not the son.

If you can disprove the existence of god by using logic… it doesn’t make much sense to use logic to define or determine the characteristics of god.

The Book: The Babel fish is small, yellow, leechlike, and probably the oddest thing in the Universe. It feeds on brainwave energy received not from its own carrier but from those around it. It absorbs all unconscious mental frequencies from this brainwave energy to nourish itself with. It then excretes into the mind of its carrier a telepathic matrix formed by combining the conscious thought frequencies with nerve signals picked up from the speech centers of the brain which has supplied them. The practical upshot of all this is that if you stick a Babel fish in your ear you can instantly understand anything said to you in any form of language. The speech patterns you actually hear decode the brainwave matrix which has been fed into your mind by your Babel fish.
Now it is such a bizarrely improbable coincidence that anything so mind-bogglingly useful could have evolved purely by chance that some thinkers have chosen to see it as a final and clinching proof of the NON-existence of God.
The argument goes like this:
`I refuse to prove that I exist,’ says God, `for proof denies faith, and without faith I am nothing.’
`But,’ says Man, `The Babel fish is a dead giveaway, isn’t it? It could not have evolved by chance. It proves you exist, and so therefore, by your own arguments, you don’t. QED.’
`Oh dear,’ says God, `I hadn’t thought of that,’ and promptly disappears in a puff of logic.
`Oh, that was easy,’ says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.
Most leading theologians claim that this argument is a load of dingo’s kidneys, but that didn’t stop Oolon Colluphid making a small fortune when he used it as the central theme of his best-selling book, “Well, That about Wraps It Up for God.”
Meanwhile, the poor Babel fish, by effectively removing all barriers to communication between different races and cultures, has caused more and bloodier wars than anything else in the history of creation.
