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).

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.

That's not up to you. All scripture is God breathed. Are you saying that God would allow his one and only true word to be mistranslated so poorly? Shame on you.

There are several examples of mistranslations happening in major bible translations. Having this superstitious view about it being impossible to do a bad translation of the Bible is completely rubbish.

It says that she shall be free to conceive. How can you be free to conceive if you're pregnant? You cannot conceive a child when pregnant. This scripture cannot be used in any way to justify abortion. You started on a poor translation of it from a disreputable translation (The NIV, often nicknamed the "Not Inspired Version") and are now clutching at straws because I pointed out that it was clearly incorrect.

Incorrect. I'm starting from a translation which God himself allowed into the world. Since God allowed both of these translations then it must mean both things are correct. The woman in this situation could be pregnant or not. Stop questioning God's power.

The Bible is not something for you to just pick and choose what you want it to say. Just because you already have an opinion on abortion doesn't mean you can cherry pick different translations to support your pre conceived premise. Do you know Hebrew? Were you there when God gave this word to the Israelites? No? Then all we have is the Bible that God himself allowed to be put out into the world. You don't get to question what God has provided and manipulate His word for your own selfish, political talking points. It's honestly really troublesome and borderline heretical. I'm worried for your soul. Stop speaking for God and let Him speak for Himself.

The Bible that was put out into the world was in Hebrew which does not mention anything to do with a miscarriage. To say that because it exists it is permissible, is like saying that the holocaust was morally okay and correct because "God allowed it to happen"

The Bible does not say that every historical event is God breathed. Only that the Bible itself is. You're gambling with your eternal soul to make a political talking point. Blasphemy is a serious issue. Please consider what you're doing.

That scripture predates the NIV and the English language as a whole.

Correct....
