I think it would've been funnier if he said "Dad-damn it!!!" (but then, that's just me...)

Shingles? First time I checked it out. Sounds awful. Get better soon.Β
Nice art style, and I can sympathise with your sense of the futility of prayer.
Still, I personally love Christian apologetics and I want to say, it's a lot more subtle than that. Β
Main thing though, get better.

It's always nice to get positive feedback when you've poured four days into something and two of them you've had Shingles. Thank you, sincerely.

Eww, shingles. My mom had shingles from stress once.Β

Precisely. That's where mine have spawned from as well; the deep recesses of my mind where stress is born, unlocking the cage door to my spine where the Varicella zoster virus has been biding its time and waiting for "such a time as this."

As someone who was subjected to a year of brutal chemo and multiple disfiguring surgeries because of fucking cancer, I fucking loved seeing this.Β

You quite literally just made my day, and made the last four days totally worth it, sincerely. Thank YOU.

Thank you and you're welcome!
I can promise you that "Jesus" nor anyone else like that bothered to show up on my doorstep and offer to help me out, much less my husband and our children, so you might understand why my entire mentality is they can all go fuck themselves, regardless of what name they go by in whatever belief system.Β I was a decent person, a good person, someone who liked to help others because I could. When I was genuinely down and needed some help, it wasn't there.Β Nothing or nobody was there but a cosmic curb stomping that has caused me to have rage issues and severe PTSD now.
Β
So yeah, I adored your creation here.

Goddamn, you basically ran into the same ideology confrontation that I did where the road forks. You can stay trying to make religion make sense, or you can see what happens when you seek theories to suit facts and not the other way around. Well said, and sorry about that. However, I've come to realize that if not for some REALLY shitty moments that eventually gravitated together in my head to form an asteroid that crashed into my little planet of making sense of the world, I'm fairly certain I'd still be in church, being told how to live, what to think, and all the rest. So it's bitter sweet. It always sucks at the time, and then it works to one's advantage, maybe sooner, maybe later, but eventually the experience will find somewhere to fit.

In a manner of speaking, yes, although my forking road was over two decades ago.Β I left organized religion and never looked back.Β I was finally, for the first time in my life, able to accept I wasn't a horrible person/sinner, just because I was breathing.Β I was able to accept that just because I was a person, it didn't mean I was bad and thatΒ I was worth being loved by my husband and children.Β (Because yeah, the fucked-up-ness of religious brainwashing I'd been bludgeoned with for the first twenty years of my life had me convinced I was worth absolutely nothing as a person.)
Enter functioning normally as a wife and mom, having a decent enough self-esteem and knowing I deserved to be treated with consideration just like any other person on the face of the planet.
Β
So yeah, that normalcy was great until the diagnosis.Β WithΒ cancer thing just over two years ago, thatΒ pretty much warped my thinking back to the mentality that I'm a horrible person, unworthy of even being in the same room as my husband and kids and that I'm being punished for having tried to be a decent person.Β The whatever it was who decided I should have the cosmic curb stomping can go fuck itself because I in no way asked for this, was so low risk that none of the idiot doctors could figure out how this happened.Β
Β
I very much appreciated your delightful picture.Β Thank you again for sharing it.

Wow. That's obviously humbling for me, because I'm only dealing with Shingles. But, truth is, shit happens. My father was "healed" of cancer of the kidneys at 16. The doctors couldn't explain it, but the church could. Now, he's 53, has had kidney problems his whole life, and this past year has been going through one invasive test after another to curb his eventual date with said cancer. He has a cyst on them as well as crystalized material too big to pass normally. That requires a catheter.
My father's not a bad person. Neither are you. We are organisms that have evolved the ability to ask the abstract question of "Why?". Animals are eaten in the wild every day, torn to shreds by other wild animals, but we'd never call them good or bad; just nature. Man thinks it's outside of this nature because we are self-aware, but the more we learn and try to learn through science, experimentation, gathering data, making theories, etc we realize just how INSIDE nature we truly are. We are just as subject to it as the "beasts" of our planet.
That all sounds well and good I suppose, but that doesn't make your plight go away. So I want you to know that I will be thinking of you and hoping for the best. Take care of yourself and feel free to send us a note any time.

No health problems are any fun to deal with, regardless of what kind they are. Some are more complicated to deal with than others.
I'm sorry to hear your father is not doing well. Is there anything that can be done for him?
Thank you for your kind words. That means more than having someone say they are "praying" for me. Really? Why waste the time, energy, and effort? It's like begging. If "god" was so fucking great, why make people beg through groveling prayer? Does that makes sense?
Anyway, thank you again and I hope you have a pleasant weekend.
