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 think I can agree with that. They may not like what the church has to say about LGBT+ people, but they also don't actively fight for their rights either.

I do have a gay cousin though and they all love him, but yeah how they act within their own family doesn't change how society at large deals with those issues.

I'd absofuckinglutley love to see religion eventually go by the wayside, too much pain and suffer caused by it, but to "forcefully" remove someone from within it can also be really damaging to that individual who may not be hurting anyone. I don't really know what the answer is there though. Hopefully in time we move away from these magical stories. :/

The solution isnt shallow stripping if shit or reeducation camps that basically amount to bullying, but actually fixing the core problems. I know I tend to talk about a lot of American atheists as 'Christianity as directed by Christopher Nolan'; all the explicit magic and camp stripped out, but otherwise the exact same ways of thinking they were raised with.

But the most anyone can do anything here is halfway, so...
