OMG, i can haz relijun

Ok, this is one of the wackiest things I've seen in ages. Much of the Bible has actually been translated into lolspeak.

Now, I guess there might be people who could find this offensive. However, I find it hard to believe that someone would go through such a huge amount of work if they had anti-Christian sentiments. Parody is one of the best forms of tribute, I think. (This also applies to one of my favourite movies, Dogma.)

It should be mentioned that I don't consider myself a Christian these days. Quite the contrary, I've found other philosophies that appeal to me more. However, I have the greatest respect towards, and interest in, all religions. In fact, I don't think I would find this site so funny if I was at all anti-Christian.

Comic Web

I discovered Bonobo Conspiracy recently and have been reading lots of past strips (in chunks of about a hundred at a time). I've never been a big reader of web strips. (I'm not sure I like the term web comic. Sandman is a comic. A comic strip is an entirely different concept. It's like comparing Monty Python's Flying Circus to The Matrix. Yes, they might utilise the same medium, but they're very different art forms in every respect.) Mostly I've just been reading online versions of one or two newspaper strips I like (like Nemi).

BoCon is lots of fun. Like most web strips, it's visual appearance is hardly appealing. It's the dialogue and subject matter that count. I think BoCon's target audience is fairly specific, though. Any anime watching hacker neo-pagan geek will surely love it, at least if they don't take themselves too seriously. Other's might not quite get it. Be warned.

There might be other fun strips out there (as I said, I don't know the scene very well). But I've got limited patience for regularly reading lots of different websites. Just a couple each of blogs, strips and news sites is plenty.
