I will be busy with another project for the next two weeks so there won't be any updates during this period but I will put some fillers to keep this comic active for next two weeks. Hope you all understand. ^^;
Interesting approach, I really like the way you've done this. I liked that you weren't afraid of giving the girl real questions that a lot of people tackle about Christianity and you actually put in good answers. Nice to see some good comic content about God out there as well.
Awwww... not the real Cain?! Are all Cains Murderers? Every Cain I know has that 'shady' look... :D Yeah, Dan Brown's stories are good if you keep in mind what they are: fiction! And People try to bring in Mosaic Law all the time these days... Well, at least the laws they pick and choose... Using Leviticus to slam Gays is always popular, but they always choose to ignore the parts where Girls have to marry their Rapist, etc
To mr. Brown's credit, he uses some facts in his fiction, but it's still fiction... I think he used the Nice story in the DaVinci code and made the character mentioned that they also decided about the Bible cannon... What they actually discarded. If I'm correct, was the Arianists papers, or commentaries that put Jesus as a creature rather than divine in nature...
@tupapayon: Ah, my mistake on the timeline. So it was the Carthage council who approved and enforce Torah as part of the OT? Well, at least Jesus came to fill in some of the loopholes in the OT. I suppose if it wasn't for his contribution, Christians today would still be practicing Mosaic Law instead of the law interpreted by Jesus.
So, who's Dan Brown? XD Haha, just kidding. I've never read any of his books before so I don't know much about his writings.
Carthage council... At Nicea they argue about Jesus divinity... About 70 years after Nicea... That's when the Bible canon was discussed... Unless you're taking your facts from Dan Brown...
@KimLuster: Psst, this Cain is not the original Cain from the bible. XD As for the story why God preferred one over the other in the Old Testament... truth is, no one really knows. The Old Testament is based on the Jewish Torah scriptures selected by the council of Nicaea. And the lack of details in the scriptures has caused loopholes in the story. I suspect the council of Nicaea apparently overlooked this issue when adding the scripture as part of the OT. Jesus himself actually recognized the loopholes in the OT. One example would be the issue with people who thought they were living holy lives if they just obeyed all those old Mosaic Laws in the Torah. (Matthew 23:23-28)
I guess he's been there for a while... God preferred Abel's lamb because they're so cute... my theology in this case is probably wrong, though... Or maybe God's not a vegan...

Who would want the Mosaic law back again? (I mean, not counting Jewish religion)... No bacon, no crab... No fun!!

hehe Thanks for clearing that up Tupapayon - it's been gnawing at me for a while... ;)

Whelp, I'd like to hear why God preferred Abel's slaughter lambs over Cain's grain - beautiful stuff!
