Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

When you think about the Cristian lore... It is a pile of insane bullsh..t
A part of my family is extremely religious, and borderline fundamentalist. After a while I've been able accept the fact that some people want to know how the world works, and some want to believe.
I know that my death won't be much different than if our dog dies. My consciousness will cease to exist, and I'll either get burnt or decompose. Many people are filled with existential dread and look to religion to comfort them. And that's cool for them.
And then their things beyond your understanding, that you fill with little stories. Sickness isn't something that can be prevented by a shot, it's a punishment. Not getting kids? A punishment. Pork? Haram because Allah said so, not because refrigeration didn't exist. Whatever makes you happy!
The problem I got is that these people are easily lied to and manipulated by authority. The religious right are so easily played by Trump it's embarrassing as a human being.
I wish more of them would live like this: "Pray as though everything depended on God. Work as though everything depended on you." - Saint Augustine
