Another page from my McCree zine from last year.
Happy New Years friends!
Today is the International day of living in together in peace šĀ I just love drawing these two so much. <3 WEBTOONS
I heard that Muslims are ENCOURAGED to ask questions because it strengthens their faith or is a sign of faith?
Puki I wanna know how you feel about Christianity
Gee, u really wanna know? Should I get deep?? Mind u I'm not a theologist or philosopher, so if I sound stupid to those more versed in this shit, feel free to tell me WHY. Anyway here's my view:
I've been a self-proclaimed atheist since my early teens. Of course, as a 13 year old, I held too much confidence in my beliefs; it's likely any learned theist at the time would've absolutely obliterated my arguments on the subject. I felt an underserved sense of intellectual superiority for quite some time, reinforced by the thought that belief only worked given proof, which ignored the inherently nebulous nature of such a thing. So, that was me back then! Now, I believe things a bit differently: in an argument derived from logic, I haven't been convinced ... and tbh, spiritualism is simply not useful to me - but philosophy is!
Not to play too heavily into Christian apologetics, but since a lot of philosophy IS the interplay between science and theology, Christianity has a big influence in the field. In searching through this nebulous field, we can help define the structure for our beliefs - religious or otherwise. It's the grounding-element for all human belief, which is pretty important. Even if it's not empirical, it's a lot more functional than theology all on its own - and that's something that someone who wants tangible arguments for God can get behind! There exists God in this field, whether science wishes for it to or not, and vice versa. So, though I don't believe outright in a God, I am not ignorant to the forces it holds in this field, and am flexible in its terms for the sake of exploration in this field.
I have respect for clever Christians. Emphasis on clever. The problem I have with theism is its self-assuredness: it CAN be one of the strongest reinforcements for one's belief, but it can also be used as a crutch, justifying a lazily-thought-out version of that same belief; or occasionally, a more dangerous variant. In Christian Nationalism, there lacks a healthy consideration as to 'why' someone believes what they believe. Scarier still, certain people conflate 'why' to sacrilege - instead of simply seeing it as a means to empower their faith through healthy scrutiny. God never granted us free will to flee from such questions. Clearly, these people are not self-assured in the proper-sense, instead choosing to live in willful-ignorance, fighting in crazed-belligerence towards those who disagree.
A learned Christian can comfortably ask themselves 'why' and end the exercise feeling more confident in their beliefs, whilst applying it compatibly to our modern society. I never have issues with these Christians and even think they're pretty awesome!
So that's the issue, a good Christian can mean two things: someone who's well-versed and educated in their beliefs - and someone who blindly obeys the words of a commercialized megachurch pastor, ad-libbing the Bible to fit their skewed agenda - the latter is DANGEROUS.

Hello, My name is Mosab Elderawi, and I live in Gaza with my family. Life here has become harder than I ever imagined, and Iām writing this with hope in my heart that you might hear our story.
The ongoing war has devastated my family. Weāve lost 25 family membersāeach one a beloved part of our lives, taken too soon. I miss them deeplyātheir laughter, their presence, their love. Every day is a reminder of this unimaginable loss.

We are now facing daily challenges to surviveāthings that most people take for granted, like food, clean water, and a safe place to sleep. The harsh realities of life here have replaced our dreams with the constant fight for survival.
š Lost Stability: The war has left us without work or a stable source of income. š Basic Needs: Food and water are becoming harder to afford with rising prices and scarce resources. š Dreams on Hold: Like so many here, my familyās dreams have been replaced by the need to simply survive. š¢ Unimaginable Loss: Losing 25 loved ones has left a void that can never be filled.
Iām sharing our story with the hope that someone out there might care. Even $5 can make a big difference for us, and if youāre unable to donate, just reblogging this post can help spread the word.
Your kindness, no matter how small, is something weāll never forget.
Your support is not about changing our entire situationāitās about giving us a little relief, a little hope, and a way to keep going. We are not asking for much, and we understand if you canāt donate. Sharing our story is just as valuable to us as a donation.
Thank you for reading this far. It means the world to us to know that someone is listening. Your kindness gives us strength and helps us believe in a better tomorrow.
With all our gratitude, Mosab Elderawi and Family ā¤ļø

Overwatch icons! Credit isnāt necessary, just like/reblog please (part 2 of 3)
Itās uncanny how similar Trump is acting like Hitler. People are now doing the Nazi salute. Theyāre drawing the symbol. The KKK was seen in Kentucky asking people to join them. ICE has been ripping families apart. Companies have pulled back Diversity Initiatives. Weāre no longer part of WHO and there wonāt be any communication from the CDC at least until February 1st. Weāre being censored and the news canāt be trusted. Thousands of Americans didnāt know there were protests against Trump yesterday outside the U.S. Quotes from The Handmaidās Tale and Anne Frank have been compared to whatās going on right now.
According to The Lemkin Institute for Genocide Studies and Prevention the U.S. has officially been given a red flag alert for Genocide.
Iām exhausted but I will never stop being angry.
After months of discussions and designing I have finally made my brotherās dream gun based off a call of duty VMP. It has many features that would take a three page essay to explain but here are some examples
A nerd dispenser(yes Iām serious), a computer with a facial scanner so only my brother and me can operated , an AI named Shakalh , charged heatĀ bullets shaped like dead bunnies, a cooler for technical reasons , and gifted knife from The untitledĀ
I know animals and read fanfiction. Name an animal and I could give you a fun fact
