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.

Did you maybe stop to think about my words and what I said? Maybe you can infer from my statements that I think all of that activity from ancient times to today was utterly disgusting? Maybe I'm conducting myself in the way Christians should have conducted themselves, rather than falling prey to the call of temporal power? Maybe you shouldn't judge a whole group of people as a monolith, and look at the individuals in front of you, and act accordingly? All I'm asking is to be treated as a human with dignity, like I will treat everyone in front of me.
You are absolutely a human being with dignity. I even have family who are Evangelicals and we get along well enough, though I dip whenever they try to bring up religion.
I was commenting on religion and its legacy. Of course you are not personally responsible for the Christianization of the world, or the cultural genocide of Indigenous people in residential schools.
I just think that the "I'm not like other Christians!" thing always rings a little hollow. You are a part of the religion that is the #1 weapon and driver of colonialist projects (including Canada!). The foundation is rotted.
Books are where it's at!
