Stop being such a emo a just say "I run this place motherfuker!"

"No, I do not hate my animations out a lack of my abilities." yet every criticism you had reflected your inability to do something? eg. your inability to recreate reality accurately, your inablity to represent Gods potency accurately etc. etc.
Let's be serious here, "hating" your animations is obviously a stupid thing to do. Seeing there flaws is nice, knowing they aren't perfect is fine, but hating them is just a waste of time and is unlikely to motivate you to make more. "Don't let perfection be the enemy of the good"

uhh... I did say I hate them but not punitively. Punitive meaning Inflicting or intended as punishment. It is more of a frustration while progressing.

I like animating :P

Well, that's nice.....

Hi Nathan,

I don't want you to think I am being mean or a hater. I honestly want to share my knowledge with you and say things as I believe they are and not just to annoy you or anyone else. I apologize in advance for any spelling errors I might make as I am not a native English speaker or writer for that matter.

First of all I think you are very talented at drawing and animating. I really do. I remember first seeing your Spud animations and loving them.

Besides that I feel you live very emotionally and you like living within a spiritual vibe. All I'm trying to say is that I don't believe that you should waste your time with trying to please God as he most likely doesn't exist. I know it must feel so real because you view the world with your emotional part and not so much with the logical part - I used to do that too. What I'm trying to say by logic is that - let's be honest the Bible doesn't really have much logical thought to it and there are so many things that are contradictory within it.

A wise man once said to me that the knowledge we have shouldn't be kept to ourselves but shared because only in this way can we live in a better world.

I honestly think that if you all got the correct information from when we are children then we could do so much more good in the world than we are currently doing. I mean I know the idea of God is appealing because you believe that if you believe in him you will live forever - but that is really the only trap inside religion - it promises to make you immortal and that idea of leaving for ever is actually the thing people crave the most in the world even if they aren't fully aware of it. Nobody really wants to die but in the end that is man's and every animals destiny or path in life, than in death.

I an sure it is easy to contradict me now as you will block my views from what you feel is real at this moment. But in time you will come to understand that the reality of things doesn't go down like the Bible says but in a more natural way. I think we have so little time here that it is annoying to think that some dream their lives away for an ideal that in the end is his own egocentric nature of never going away or dying.

You sir will live forever but not in heaven or hell but in the minds of those who will see and appreciate what you've done here.

I believe that no one knows what waits for us when we die...

Emotions are deceptive if not grounded in truth. I find truth in the Bible. If really want to convince me there is no God, you'll have to target the infallibility of the Bible.

Im atheistist, but I love religion when used in a positive way. I find religion to be powerful, and beautiful and can bring out intense emotion. Some might be moved by your faith and your view of it in your animations, but to say, do not favorite or follow my animations if you have no intention to be faithful to its meaning, is extremely arrogant. Jesus was tolerant of all religions and beliefs just as long you were kind to those who are around you.
'just sayin'

And when Jesus drove out the religious people from the temple He was being tolerant of them.

"I do not want to add to the obsession of amusement." dude, without amusement the human mind succumbs to boredom, boredom leads to negativity and negativity leads to cynisism and bad desicion making. Trust me on this one, there is no such thing as too much amusement as long as you still have time for work.

You can have entertainment
but it is wrong to be consumed/obsessed by it. Where it robs us of reality.

fagget.

Don't worry about how others feel about your work, because there will always be a polarity of love and hate. That polarity is reflected within you, and if you are creating art and animation from a conscious space of uneasiness, dislike or not enjoying what it is your creating, then that will reflect in how others respond and perceive your work.

When you work from a space of love, love for yourself, love for your work and a desire to share your creations, the negative aspects of things falls away, and you can learn to understand where that negativity was coming from within you, and learn and grow from that experience. Everything is energy, which means everything can be transmuted, negative energy can change into positive energy, just as positive can change to negative. Seize the moment to find the passion thats burning in your soul and let it flow without any worry or fear. Fear only creates more fear, and fear is created within yourself.

The only demons in this world are the ones running around our own hearts, and that is where all battles must be fought.

I have re phrased it so it makes more sense.
I don't have a problem with my creation process or my hate mail.
I hate my concern for the shallowness of popularity.
