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.

You are living proof that religion is mental disorder and Abrahamic religions should be utterly abolished with extreme prejudice. You are the evil this world needs cleansing of.
I disagree with the notion that religion is a mental disorder. I myself don't subscribe to religion or the notion of a god, but you need to be careful with how you say things like this as this will feed into christian feelings of persecution. This kind of rhetoric is exactly what the christian god has done. Cleanse the unbelievers because they're evil. Do not commit the same failure that this other guy is. We can't commit the same crimes as the proposed yaweh and think ourselves morally superior.
The christian persecution complex is a primary reason for abolition of Abrahamic religions. That complex is caused by the religion itself; it's literally written into their canon. You're advocating for spoiling and enabling an unruly child.
I'm not saying I'm feeding into their persecution complex. I was saying that you are. Telling them that the religion they identify so strongly with should be destroyed just makes them feel justified in their belief.
Circular logic
I don't think that it is circular. They believe they are being persecuted>someone does something that feels like persecution to them>they feel they have confirmed their persecution. Im not saying it makes sense. It just is how I've seen it and even experienced it when i was a mormon.
"THIS religion is the best and rightest one, and people will hate you for it!"
"No it isn't "
"SEE??!!! I TOLD YOU SO!!!"
Agreed, that does happen. It's because christians are primed to believe that outside questioning if it is done in an aggressive way is persecution. Thats why they shut down and won't hear your arguments when you come at them in an aggressive way.
