Wondy 33

Four pages from today's Wondy.

So, the sea monsters from the preview attack the island. The amazons fight back. Ares shows up.



WHUT. She won't kill Genocide, but she will kill Ares? She can kill Ares? Since when? He's the god of war. The whole point of him is that he outclasses her as much as Clark outclasses Jim Gordon.

They're on Thalarion at this point, and Zeus shows up and is all "be a wife and mother, and oh I killed Kane."





When WML does a better Polly than Gail, something is badly wrong with the universe.



... yeah.

On the plus side, I've had to cut back on luxuries recently and I've been waffling over what titles to cut, and this makes that decision easier at least..

If she is, that's pretty stupid of her. Isn't an atheist someone who denies the existence of higher beings?

[majingojira.insanejournal.com]

Depends on the philosophy they subscribe to. To Atheist in general, Gods are to life as Zero is to numbers. Not all Atheists engage in active disbelief.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's no way in hell she could ever even be consisdered an Atheist simply because she knows they exist. Though I have wondered how the way the gods exist in the DCU would effect such things.

That's mostly because Atheists who do not engage in active disbelief usually either fall into the Agnostic category or do not even give them the time of day.

To repeat an analogy, Atheism is to Religion as Baldness is to Hair.

"Passive lack of belief", which is what atheism is without "active disbelief", still isn't really compatible with punching Zeus in the face.

[gargoylekitty.insanejournal.com]

Pretty much, lol.

[majingojira.insanejournal.com]

In a way it does, as it even passive disbelief strips him of any meaningful authority he has otherwise. It turns Zeus into just another super-strong magically powered guy. And he was being rather villainous. Ergo, with Diana beins a Superhero, her natural reflex is to punch villains...

I'm still not sure either would be the best term for her. Simply because I'm not so sure denouncing the gods automatically means rejecting the religious aspect assumed with such things. There's more to a belief system than a higher power which again goes back to my wondering about how they effect things.

Not sure that made much sense.

AARGH! Curse the human brain's need to categorize and label things!

Sorry, but I have to nit-pick something in your language here.

The definition of an atheist is not someone who "denies" the existence of God/gods, because that implies that those "higher beings" do exist, and that the atheist just looks the other way or something.

To someone who believes in God, it's not belief, it can be a fact, it's what they know to be true and what makes sense to them. It's the same with atheists, except the belief is that there is no Higher Power. It would also be problematic to say that "those who believe in God deny His nonexistence." There's an insinuation in there as to what's "right," or what's really true and false.

So an atheist is someone who doesn't believe in the existence of God/gods, and as such, WW can't be an atheist.
