Hey! He actually wasn't sure whether or not I was truly thinking about becoming a Christian, Which is funny, becuase I thought I'd been sracastic enough to hint that that was by no means true. Ah well. Here's his reply. I wrote him back, but I accidently deleted the email. Here's his reply... (lazy man couldn't write his own message, the highlighted stuff is his answers)
Ariana, So good to hear from you. I will take your questions seriously:

As the comic states, any music that is in opposition to the Bible should not be listened to.

No where in the abortion comic do I insinuate that going to the doctor for a sickness in your body is a sin. However, no one should have the right to take another persons life, in the womb or out of the womb.

These comi cs were developed after close study of teen! agers an d communicating to them and with them for more than twenty years.

I am still trying to determine if you are seriously considering becoming a Christian. I will let you know Ariana, Jesus loves you and He died on the cross for you so that you could live for Him.
God's very best to you as you seek after Him through His Son, Jesus Christ.
Respectfully, Tim Todd

A few more comments on this letter. He can't type, and he evades my real question. Hm.. (sarcastic) I'm still not sure if I'll become a Christian..
Far away from the memories,
of people who care if I live or die.
