Hello, I'm an Atheist.

2012-02-01T11:56:00.001-05:00

I was just visited by two nice Christian ladies who were trying to convince me God loves me and all that jazz, I told them I had no doubts that God is a fairytale and they kept quoting bible verses for their proof.

Next thing you know, I was trying to defend what I think to be true to them, and I didn't even have a book to back up what I thought.

I was brought up Christian, I had no doubts God was real, it's easy when you're a kid. I even believed in Santa Claus, who by the way I still believe in, He was a real person [Saint Nicholas] gave away his wealth to the poor in the 4th century and did more for Christianity than Jesus or God in my opinion.

Well, you know how kids around 5 or 6 are naturally curious, I was especially curious about God and why things are the way they are. So I asked a lot of questions:

Why does God make it rain?

Why does God make Poison?

Why did God make the Devil?

Why did God this and that...?

and I don't know if it was because I was so young or the people I asked were just lazy but nearly every time I would ask a question I would be told...."YOU DON'T QUESTION GOD!" That was my first RED-FLAG.

And I don't know what other Christians think but when I was 5 or 6 I was told when you go to Heaven, you will live in a GOLDEN MANSION...didn't really care being so young but now that I look back on that little gem and think how materialistic Christians must be.

When I was 11 or 12 I started praying, and I mean serious prayer to God to help my family out of poverty, because it was effecting myself and my brothers, even how other people treated us. So I clasped my hands together and pleaded with God to help us, and after a day of that I started asking God to give me sign he loves me [because i was told god loves me so much], and on the third day I started to debate with myself if this was real or not.

So, when I finally stopped praying to the air, I just dropped my hands in disgust and I became angry. Why did all of these people lie to me? Why give me hope in something that would not acknowledge your existence? Later on I started to laugh at myself as I remembered praying to the air with tears in my eyes for help, for some reason that became hilarious.

Since then I was critical about religion and how it effects me.

I don't need religion to tell me whats moral, because religion has failed at doing that very thing, just read your bible. Don't let the bible be dictated to you because you will only hear what they want you to hear. I live in poverty, but I am happy. I enjoy my life because I know it's all I got, I feel sorry for all those people who look forward to dying.

Being a moral person is basic human nature. If you think you would go out and kill people because there were no ten commandments, would you still be a moral person with the ten commandments?

Anyways, now that I have been challenged on my thinking, I'll need to get into more research and ask those same questions now, but put more thought into it.

Keep the Internet FREE from censorship!!!

BLACK MARCH

Thursday March 1st 2012 to Saturday March 31st 2012

With the continuing campaigns for internet-censoring litigation such as SOPA and PIPA, and

the closure of sites such as MegaUpload under allegations of "Piracy" and "Conspiracy" the time

has come to take a stand against Music, Film and Media companies Lobbyists!

The only way is to hit them where it truly hurts.

Their PROFIT MARGINS!

March 2012 is the end of the 1st quarter in economic reports worldwide.

DO NOT BUY a single CD.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD a single song, legally or illegally.

DO NOT BUY Tickets to cinema's or Download Movies.

DO NOT BUY DVD's.

DO NOT BUY Videogames.

DO NOT BUY Books or Magazines.

Instead, wait FOUR weeks and buy them in April! This action will leave a gaping hole

in Media and Entertainment companies profits for the 1st Quarter, an economic hit which

in turn will be observed by governments worldwide as stocks and shares will blip from

a large enough loss of incomes.

This action can give a statement of INTENT!

"WE WILL NOT TOLERATE MEDIA INDUSTRIES LOBBYING

FOR LEGISLATION WHICH WILL CENSOR THE INTERNET."

Vore Temple 3D prop

2011-10-09T04:10:00.001-04:00

I've been working on this for the last few years, just off and on, I decided to go the hyper nurbs route as I find the lines smoother and sub division ready. I'm thinking of making this a Dazstudio prop.

3D STUFF!

2011-09-30T22:28:00.000-04:00

Here's something you don't see from me, 3D modeling, this is an armor set I made in cinema 4d for my brother. The figure and suit is by Daz3d.

I'm not using Ka-Blam.com for printing anymore!

2011-09-29T18:40:00.000-04:00

I've had just about the worst experience with Ka-blam.com. Ka-blam.com is an on demand print company, they print comics, posters t-shirts, etc. and I have not heard of anyone having sour dealings with them, which makes my experience even more upsetting.

So I ordered 10 posters to sell and try to make some money, the total came to $21.62 shipping included. A day passes and I notice some errors I'd like to correct on the image so I put the order on Hold, they have a "hold" for this reason. I was told this wasn't a problem.

Here's the original file uploaded 08-22-2011:

Here's the new File uploaded 08-24-2011:

Palin_2012_Original_B

On 09-10-2011 I receive a message: "I'm clarifying as there seems to be 2 files in your folder.
Print the 8/31 edition?" I assume they mean the last file uploaded, which was done on 08-24-2011, since I put this order on hold to upload a new file I thought they would know to use the last file uploaded. Days go by and I see my poster on Indyplanet.com and it's the wrong file so I ask it to be removed and I write them:

2011-09-14
I sent you a new file to use while it was on hold, and you still used the old file, please take the poster down from indyplanet.com as soon as possible.

And if the posters I ordered come printed using the old file I will need them redone or a refund.

-Thanks

Two days go by:

2011-09-16
I just received my order today and it is the wrong file, I told you on the 14th it was the wrong file and you sent it anyway, the print came out too dark as well. Can I get a refund

And I got this response:

If you'd like to resend the file, Morgan, then we'll reprint it -- BUT -- we DID print the last file you sent to us. I thought it looked the same as the previous file, but it WAS the last file we got from you. And yes, the print is dark, but your colors are very dark. You might want to take a look at your monitor calibration.

So from the response I know he not going to take any kind of responsibility for the mistake, instead of arguing I just upload a new file, this time I changed it profoundly and added the date to the file name.

The last file uploaded 09-21-2011:

Palin_Poster_09212011

Needless to say days later I received my order and it's the same old file! On the plus side, the image is nearly perfect, the colors are vibrant. Which you'd expect. So I message them back and complain:

2011-09-24
I got the posters today and you printed the same file [Palin_2012_Original_F] as before! It seems like you're doing this deliberately now, I think now I need a full refund, this has wasted so much time and energy I'm done with it.

Here's the messages I got back:

2011-09-25
We're wasting YOUR time? It's clear we're just not the printer for you, Morgan. I've sent you payment for the one sale you generated at Indyplanet and I'm de-listing your items. We'll accept no more orders from you. Best of luck.

I'm sorry Morgan. We printed from the files you sent--twice. We shipped your order...twice.

They refuse to take responsibility and refund my money. SO I'll rant about it and warn people thinking of using this company for anything.

Also I found a great company for printing posters and other stuff http://www.printkeg.com/ They printed my Elvira posters and the first one came out too dark and they reprinted and shipped it with no hassle and it came out brilliant.
