I drew this because Lupe Day was close to the 100th Anniversary of the English King James Version of the Bible. I know; this is unorthodox and may even give me backlash, but I just wanted to draw something that commemorates both.
I was going to write a Bible speech, but I think the way I wrote the thing in my mind needs to be refocused a bit. Besides, lately, I have been Bible-starved myself (though I barely play Neopets, so they were starving, themselves). The problem is not access, but rather will. Despite the feeling being disproved again and again, I still get a feeling of drudgery that makes me want to procrastinate. (Asking the Holy Spirit for revelation ended up having me think of "just one more step.")
I need to have my faith rekindled...

The KJV is indeed a milestone. It marks the time the Word of God was taken out of the hands of a greedy and corrupt few, and given to all. It has endured, but unfortunately nobody talks like that anymore. I'm not sure what all you're speaking about, but I hope all goes well and remind you that there is a time for everything.
Hm! Good question! He probably hadn't replied because he hadn't learned the true answer to that question yet, and of course he didn't want to tell you an explanation that was wrong. I know I'm just assuming, but I'm guilty of the same sort of behavior too. I'll have to think about that. I'll answer you when I'm sure I know what to say!
I'm a girl, and that was a good -7 months- ago.
Honestly, I don't know what it is with people these days. This has happened far too many times than I care to even count anymore. I ask a simple question or link to something and someone automatically assumes "TROOOOLL!!" even if I have said NOTHING hurtful whatsoever, or even implied that I might say something hurtful.

I figured that when I looked into your gallery. Sorry.
Please note that you had replied to Mr. Pumped Aaron, not me, so I did not notice your response earlier. I only browsed my gallery yesterday then discovered your comment.
Maybe "troll" was not the best word. When I went into your page, I found that you were a Satanist. I then assumed that, had I responded, you were going to execute me for daring to mix my Christianity with your precious Neopets. /satirical tone/
On your defense, though, I had quite a lot of people do that to me in the past, so I am rather sensitive.

How does my gallery pin me as a troll? I have a dog plushie with a hand-sewn top hat in it, and a T-rex riding a bike, Dark Lord's sake...
You never responded, so I never had any response from you to respond to, and it would be rude not to respond to pumpedaaron.
So basically, you didn't assume I was a troll, you assumed I was a Satanist, which is correct, but that doesn't automatically mean I'm a Devil-worshiping asshole bent on raping Christians with tridents. You really should give people a chance, at the very least as a Christian man. Aren't Christians supposed to be calm and forgiving and loving and all that? I can understand being sensitive, but I hadn't said anything or implied I would say anything for you to be sensitive about.
All that aside, shall we get to the point I was trying to get to with my comment 7 months ago? I only wanted to make sure you were a Christian before I asked what your view on Laveyan Satanists are, because as a Laveyan I do not worship any deity, let alone the devil. I can note you some text I have on the basic concept, if you want. I understand if it's a tl;dr moment.

Let me re-write again. When I saw that you were a Satanist after you asked me that I was a Christian, I thought that you, searching for for Neopets fan-art, stumbled upon my picture, then was going to call me "violating the separation of church and state" or whatever rubbish Christ-haters say nowdays. This had happened once previously: http://fav.me/dy10y2
Even so, I never assumed that you were all of that, but rather that you were a normal person who happened to be a Satanist. (Another thing that I am assuming right now is that others have hurt you severely in the past, since you are sounding very sensitive in your comment.) The real reason why I did not comment was to avoid conflict.
(Dugh... I am worried that "Real Caleb" would come... the part of me that really is a pendejo...)

Now see, I haven't been hurt in the past before - internet comments do not bother me in the least. But things like that picture you linked me to, does.
It bothers me that Christians think they need, or even have the right, to make a law for the entire country that restricts who can marry who. Not all marriages are Christian marriages, and in the Christian community there are a lot of Christians who are pro-gay and a lot of Christians who aren't. It's very mixed, but I think it's extremely over the top that Christians are getting so upset that someone they don't know is doing something that has no effect on them personally, financially or otherwise, whatsoever, that they think they should put a ban on all marriage, even if it's a non-religious marriage, in which they have no control over. It's far over the line to make a law about this.
Now, certain churches refusing to marry gay couples - fine! I have absolutely no problem with a Christian church denying a gay couple marriage at that church, because the community of that church and the people running it are on the anti-gay-because-of-God side. Sure, some gays will have a problem with that, but agree to disagree. There are a lot of churches who would be happy and willing to marry a gay couple, and I think they should be given the right to. I do not think it is okay to make it a federal law to ban gay marriage, because isn't it a part of the Constitution that a citizen of the United States has freedom of religion? I think that counts for freedom of marriage as well. If it is a part of a certain Christian church's moral standings and religious views to deny gay marriage, fine, but not all churches have that view, and not all marriage is religious. For Christians to deny any gay marriage of any kind at any church is wrong. It's like Christians trying to ban me being a Satanist because you don't agree with it, as Laveyan Satanism is an Unreligion based off denying all of the Christian morals and views. My religion is not your territory, and if two males would want to get married under Anton Szandor Lavey's name instead of your God's name, then you have absolutely no control over that. It's not your territory.
Besides, aren't Christians supposed to be loving, forgiving people, following your God's examples? People cannot help who they fall in love with, they shouldn't be terrorized and beaten physically and emotionally every day because a girl happened to fall for another girl. Love transcends all differences, that means through religion, social standing, financial standing, distance, gender, and whatever else. If two people can honestly put everything aside and just love each other, I think that should be supported, especially by the Christians who boast how kind their God is and how they follow their God's examples.
I do not intend to have an argument, simply a discussion. I'm not here to hurt your feelings either. Satanist as I may be, that does not mean I'm a big mean tattoo-covered idiot that sacrifices goats to the Lord of Hell. That's more a traditional Satanist's job. I'm a Laveyan Satanist, which denies all Christian views. Basically, in my unreligion, the Gods of all the different religions that span across the world (Christianity and the rest alike, not just the Christian god) are the weak man's way of trying to find a reason to pretend he's not what he is, an Animal. Human beings are the Top Dog, if you will, the most savage of beasts; humans can not only kill other animals without mourn, but we have the minds to invent things such as Guns and Bombs to do it for us, as well as kill each other that way. Many people can't accept the fact that they are animals, not some magical being created by a deity from the "Heavens", and create Gods and Religions to justify their actions for them, and Satans and Devils to symbolize the darker part of their humanity, to repent from who their are because they cannot accept it. This is the view of a Laveyan, and a proud Satanist I am. By Hail Satan, we mean Hail Ourselves, accept that your a human and the most savage of all beasts, and deal with it.
That doesn't mean I'm going to hate you for being a Christian though, I just find the whole Lord in Heaven, God and Jesus stuff...outdated, if you will. I respect you for your beliefs, and in turn I expect respect for mine. Ive been approached by many Christians before, asking what Laveyan Satanism is, and I've told them, and they went on their way, respectfully.

Did you read that, especially the bottom bit where I said I didn't want an argument, but a discussion, or did you just tl;dr?
Let me inform you something useful then:
The definition of arguing:
1. An exchange of diverging or opposite views, typically a heated or angry one: "I've had an argument with my father".
2. A reason or set of reasons given with the aim of persuading others that an action or idea is right or wrong."
The definition of discussing:
1. The action or process of talking about something, typically in order to reach a decision or to exchange ideas.
2. A conversation or debate about a certain topic.

...to be serious, I do like to discuss usually. The false steps I did here, though, made me want to save the discussion for another day. Right now, I am too embarrassed by my mistakes.
To be honest, though, I require evidence regarding your statement:
"Still, you're better than a lot of people on there, especially the people from FA."
Considering what I did here, I can not believe you.

Well, have you ever been to the ED page for Furries? The articles there, although highly over-dramatized and exaggerated, are disgusting. For example, a 17 year old furry teenager's cat had kittens, black kittens, so she took her self-piercing kit and pierced the kittens ears, tied their tails with rubber bands to "dock" them (cut them off prematurely so they'll have nubs instead of tails, but this has to be done by a veterinarian and is often agonizing for the animal; the rubber band method is worse, causes bleeding and lots of infections, and can open the immune system up to further disease) and other mutilations and tried to sell them on eBay, Furbuy and other websites as "Goth Kittens" (here's an article: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-504083_.....32-504083.html )
Another case is Sandythewolfhusky, who is here on FA. I've spoken with her on many occassions, and I think the ED page for her...is actually exact. They didn't have to exaggerate with her.
http://encyclopediadramatica.ch/Sandythewolfhusky
They really, really didn't. She honestly thought she was a real werewolf for the longest time, and she acts exactly as they describe. I'm not sure what's wrong with her, but she should not be allowed internet access.
Honestly, I think you're insulting yourself if you can't believe me when I say you don't deserve an ED article.
