Snoopy!  Woodstock!  Pusheen!  These are the main cartoon characters I absolutely adore.  They bring me such great comfort, so much so that you know what?  I wish they were real.  I really do.  Just as I wish sometimes that a certain character in a movie were a real person.  And do you know what I notice?  That many people adore these characters so much, that they desire them to be as real as I do, as real as a friend.  And do you know what this made me think?  It made me think that cartoons actually bridge the divide between the debate of whether God does or does not exist.  You see, we humans all have a deep, innate need for comfort, for a comforter, and that comfort may take on many a form.  It was cemented in me through healthy order, that God is in fact real.  As a wounded human being, as we all are, we still have many needs that we don’t feel are or can be fulfilled by God.  And, if you’re someone with no roots in a belief in God, and you LONG for your favorite cartoon character to be real, because he or she is just so cute and you need that comfort and security, you have just proven what human being is, needs, and that God is real.
