Bill Watterson's Political Cartoons


While attending Kenyon College, Bill Watterson (the author of Calvin and Hobbes) was editorial cartoonist for the school newspaper, The Kenyon Collegian.  Most weeks during his tenure, they printed a cartoon of his, usually a political cartoon.  Since the Kenyon Collegian's archives are available online, you can see them all.  The following is a complete set of links to issues of the Kenyon Collegian that have these cartoons: 

It's Rational to Believe in Jesus

So says Aron Wall (and me).  He has posted a fair amount of material on his web site that explains how believing what the Bible says about Jesus can be rational.  Several of those postings amount to as good a case for Christianity as I've seen expressed anywhere, so I'm posting links to them for your benefit (and my own; I will re-read them).  They are listed in an order that I think makes sense for them to be read if they were to be read in sequence.



There is good evidence that Jesus was resurrected from the dead and that he is the Messiah:
  1. Can Religion Be Based on Evidence?
  2. Theology: Less Speculative than Quantum Gravity
  3. Christianity Is Based on Observations
  4. Let Us Calculate
  5. Christianity Is True
The Old Testament part of the Bible is not a fabrication:
Christianity is more likely to be true than other religions:
  1. Introduction
  2. World Evangelism
  3. Ancient Roots
  4. Supernatural Claims
  5. Historical Accounts
  6. Early Sources


Note: I don't know Aron Wall personally; I've just read his blog and agree with his approach to Christian apologetics.
