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.

Eh people overblow what Jesus did to the moneychangers and merchants in the temple. Yeah he made a whip and used it to drive the animals out, and he flipped over the tables scattering the money everywhere. But he never tried to to hurt people, just get them out of the temple and disrupt all the commerce going on.
Jesus Christ Superstar's temple scene is probably the most accurate recreation of that passage as written in the Bible. He trashed all the stuff, flipped tables and sent everyone else away. He wouldn't have beaten people to death, that's not the message he preached or the actions he took.
While true, can you imagine Fox news' coverage of just such an action today? He might as well have [redacted] by the way those actions would be portrayed.
