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.

I doubt this. Atheists (myself included) often get the frustrating question of "what stops you from harming people if you don't believe in Hell?" when people learn about our lack of faith.

Many of them think that promises of reward and punishment are the only thing ensuring that people act morally.

If you've ever talked to a religious conservative American, many of them believe that religion, particularly Christianity, has a monopoly of defining what morality is.

Yes, and those are the people that I think are herd-followers and not actually devout.

Anyone who asks "why don't you become a murder hobo if you don't think there's a hell?" is probably not a very functional being.

Their need for a patriarch figure to impose external order and validation on them explains a whole lot about US nuttiness.

Funnily enough, this plays into a comment I made in a different thread that some people actually do behave like NPC's
