The writer of the comic, G. Willow Wilson, is herself a Muslim woman, so I wouldn't be surprised to see these topics engaged in the series (it they haven't been already, I haven't read it in a while).

Wait, she's an Inhuman? How does someone who knows they were created by aliens and not Allah square that with faith?

The same way DC's Mr. Terrific can be an atheist, even though he lives in a world where the Greek deities are real and the literal biblical Wrath of God is running around in a green cape, punishing murderers in grimly ironic ways.

Seriously, though, there are lots of people who manage to square scientific understanding with religious faith.

The thing is you have to bring out the big guns to obscure just how stupid the Trump line on crowd size is. It's so bad that some of Trump's partisans are blindly detaching themselves from reality:

quote:

Trump voters were overwhelmingly more likely than Clinton voters to say Obama’s photo was actually Trump’s. What’s more, 15 percent of Trump voters told the researchers there are actually more people in the photo from Trump’s inauguration—the one with big, bare white patches that are clearly be-peopled in Obama’s photo.

She got in a fight with the fascist super cops, as part of what I want to say was the newest crossover event. Precognative powers show that Kamala's friend is a future terrorist so they send him to the new Gitmo, which is set up in Jersey City and run by fascist teenage Aryan superheroes. Comic books rule. Our hero has to choose between being soft on crime and supporting an ubermensch police state without trials or lawyers.

President Trump is off to a good start. So far, he’s implementing his campaign promises and that’s very encouraging. The world may be shocked, but too bad. The world is used to the United States bowing and giving in to demands. Trump is a business man who knows a bad deal when he sees one. While Obama played checkers and lost, Trump plays 3D chess—and he plays to win. He wants America to win again. It’s very refreshing.

I love Garrison, even though I can't hear myself over the slurping as he goes hog wild on Trump's dick. Not even A.F Branco is this delusional. It's not so much that Garrison is divorced from reality, as that he murdered her, dismembered the body and buried the parts in the local landfill.

You misunderstand. I am not questioning how someone who understands science can have faith - I have it myself. People can understand the how while still knowing God is the who and why. But she has the how, the who and the why of how her people were created. So why does she give benediction to an unrelated entity?

I assume it's from an issue of the old Green Arrow/Green Lantern series.

Which was way, way better than it sounds from the initial idea of "let's pair two guys who only have a color in common", because the writers actually decided to tackle real social issues eventually.

Because Green Lantern just beat up a bunch of protesters who were getting evicted by their slum lord and quite frankly deserves to get some stink eye.

Oh yeah I remember all those times Obama personally insulted Fox reporters.

I absolutely don't remember Trump literally making a crude menstruation joke on TV about one of them.

edit: speaking of this, same as when Bill was having his blowjob scandal I am surprised how much you can actually say on the news nowadays when the situation demands it. Besides gross Trump stuff, The U of Washington is running a class titled "Calling Bullshit in the Age of Big Data" and the Seattle Times at least wrote it as-is.

Once again, the Nazi writes a comic where he fails to realize he's made the "wrong" person the sympathetic, correct one. It's like his thought process is so different he actually thinks that this is going to do anything but masturbate teh egos of fellow fascists.

I definitely get the impression that he's well aware that his only audience is like-minded people, and he's entirely fine with that.
