This young woman, while sitting over her first cup of coffee for the day, has realized the inevitable: she has a fight on her hands.<\/p>\n

Hemant Mehta, the Friendly Atheist, has asked that I be a weekly contributor to his blog\u2019s new efforts. This cartoon was my first offering that was posted last week on the FriendlyAtheist. The deal is I can post it some time later on my own blog. \u00a0 You can check it out here with all the comments.<\/a><\/p>\n

What surprised me was the immediate vociferous reaction to the cartoon from believers. I drew the cartoon in such a way that it would be sympathetic towards both believers, atheists and everyone in between. This has been my experience. I remember saying this years and years ago.<\/p>\n

Buy a print of this cartoon.<\/a><\/p>\n

Many of my original cartoons are available. If you are interested, please email me<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
