Hello fellow Calvin and Hobbes fans!
About this community and how I post the comic strip… The comics are posted in chronological order on the day (usually) they were released. Posting them to match the release date adds a bit of fun and nostalgia to match the experience of reading them in the newspaper for first time. Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. It really sucked when I missed a day. Only years later, when I got the books was I able to catch up on the missed strips.
Calvin and Hobbes is a daily American comic strip created by cartoonist Bill Watterson that was syndicated from November 18, 1985, to December 31, 1995. Commonly cited as "the last great newspaper comic",[2][3][4] Calvin and Hobbes has enjoyed broad and enduring popularity, influence, and academic and philosophical interest… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvin_and_Hobbes

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!

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.
