- 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).

Idk about gay Jesus. lol. But I love the idea of that as a possiblity!
Him being killed for heresy makes sense to me. That said, my understanding is all the gospels about Jesus were written long after his death. It's totally possible he was killed like all the rest and the majority of the narrative was written after and heavily romanticized. It was then updated, as needed, to advance different political goals.
I'd never heard anything about disagreements with Epicureans, or much about them in general. Any books/links you could recommend on the subject? I'm currently reading the Dark Side of Christian History by Ellerbe and it's great! The lengths the Church went to solidify its political power is kind of hard to comprehend. It's crazy how little most people know about something that's still so influential.
