why cant I meet people like this? Why is everyone I meet stupid and religious.

he looks like an anchient philosipher

wearing a shirt that says sperm, in superman text

Since everyones preaching in the comments I would also like to tell everyone that if what alan's talking about interests you check out Alan's great comic "Promethea" for a guided step by step journey into magic and the occult and you. God bless you. And do yourself a favor and read "Prometheus Rising" by R.A. Wilson.

@iomithelegend He said "theory of" and "might be"in the first sentence you genius.

[eyeseer1]

Such a dogmatic perspective when we exist in a reality where science is a religion and religion is a science.

@yoRakNay And Ive seen enough atheists and agnostics getting sunken down in their Ego. All that drive for carrier...once its your life goal-to have legacy- you loose touch with reality and humaness.You punch weak ones from cliff and race on. Dont over-generalize.Im not a Christian nor supporter of any traditional belief system.

Alan Moore is really smart, i loved what he did for WATCHMEN, i haven't read V For Vendetta, iv'e seen the film but i bet the novel was way better

@Jeffersonwazright You must travel to a proudly or largely secular nation like the U.K. or Japan, or do as I do living in Ireland, staunchly defend reason and science and information, and watch the growing move towards secularisation.

[Claidheambmor]

I think it's odd that Alan Moore looks like John Dee.

@snerka- who cares if he is a anarchist, a little persuasion could do the trick! Moore for president!

[snerka]

@ApiarySociety He´s an anarchist och doesn´t want anyone to lead or follow.

[ApiarySociety]

Here's my suggestion.  Elect Alan Moore President of the Planet and follow his lead.

@Soso21259 I know a lot of people and I never saw that

I know a lot of Agnostics and ateists whith high morals always concerned to be good people

And also know a lot of roten religious who don't give da n to be good.

Need a good to fear punishment is childsh and irrealistic

I saw a lot of people who stop to belive in god and is not because they don't want punishment

Principaly because most of religio like cristians don't have any punishment if you just pray, like cristians

[Soso21259]

@yoRakNay What I meant is that some people don't want to believe in God because they don't want to think that one day they will be asked about every thing they did. Therefore, they come up with all these theories to feel good about themselvs.

[yoRakNay]

@Soso21259

For that statement you mean you don't have a moral compass and the only thing in the way for you to commit crimes is the fear of punishment?

[Soso21259]

All these theories that trying desperately to prove that there is no one God created the Universe, are actually just a way to make people feel that there will be no one to judje them for their meanness. They want to fell good about themselves after hurting each other.

They don't want to feel that one day they will be punished.

@andrewrocks10 you are unoriginal, an imitation, easily swayed, and above all: not funny.

[andrewrocks10]

i used to be a hologram... but then i took an arrow to the knee

[Walleyboy001]

Alan Moore one of the craziest smartest comics writers ever.

[jjtheslayer69]

[jjtheslayer69]
