Biblical Crumb
Bad ass cartoonist and general freak Robert Crumb has a new book of cartoons out that depict the book of Genesis. If you haven't seen his film biography (entitled Crumb, of course), it is highly entertaining and critically acclaimed.
You see, one thing is, I can live with doubt and uncertainty and not knowing. I think it's much more interesting to live not knowing than to have answers which might be wrong. I have approximate answers and possible beliefs and different degrees of uncertainty about different things, but I am not absolutely sure of anything and there are many things I don't know anything about, such as whether it means anything to ask why we're here... I don't have to know an answer. I don't feel frightened not knowing things, by being lost in a mysterious universe without any purpose, which is the way it really is as far as I can tell. It doesn't frighten me.
