      This is like bait for them. Deep down they know it’s true, but they’re in denial so trolling is their way of coping

    Okay, I can’t tell if the third panel is edited but if it’s not then it makes it way funnier considering the guy who makes these comics is a centrist.

    I’m of the opinion that a lot of “centrists” agree with the right wing stuff but recognize it’s not a good look to cai your self right wing these days so they pretend to be in the center

    Once upon a time centrism meant you agreed with different sides on different matters. Now we have those extreme centrists who just want to prevent progress in any way.

          So, a while ago I stopped posting comments on reddit because I didn’t like how people would respond to me. I noticed people over here were a little nicer.

          Now I think I just might be an idiot. The comment I responded to was clearly a joke. I think I’m going to go back to lurking.

    First of all, Satan doesn’t rule Hell. He roams this Earth and will eventually be cast down to Hell. Secondly, everyone on this planet is deserving of Hell. Everyone thinks they’re better than others, but we all fall short of God’s glory.

    INB4 God’s not real, Hell’s not real, yada yada. I’m not asking your opinion. Just correcting stupid theology on this comic.

          Pray about it I guess.

          The omnipotent, almighty, all-knowing sky daddy surely will smite all of us evil non believers.

          That is, assuming your perspective of this imaginary creature’s desires is an accurate one. I guess only time will tell.

            That’s the thing. I don’t want you or anyone to go to Hell. I don’t think you’re less than me or anything.

            Also the sky daddy thing has never bothered me. Damn right, he’s my sky daddy. He loves me and He loves you too.

              These beliefs are good and I am glad that you have them. However, allowing your beliefs to enable you to stifle other people’s creativity is certainly not helping you, your sky daddy or anyone else. I hope that helps somehow, in the tiniest way.

      That was your interpretation but it doesn’t mean you couldn’t interpret it other ways.

      Who says in the comic’s lore God didn’t send them there and didn’t feel like it was worth wasting God’s time to explain? Who says that was supposed to be Satan he was talking to?

        In the established canon text of the Jesus lore, a concept of Hades/Gehenna has always existed. However, there are varying fan theories about what such a “hell” actually is (cf. Eastern Orthodox views where hell and heaven are just different experiences of God’s presence vs. Protestant)

      That assumes he exist. This is like getting offended that “the Hobbits are taller than 5 feet when compared to a percentage of the height they are to gandalf, it’s not canonical!”

      Obligatory Martin Luther King, Jr. quote:

      First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to “order” than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says “I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can’t agree with your methods of direct action;” who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man’s freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a “more convenient season.”

          I am sure that you sincerely think so, even after reading about the Fascist colonization of Poland and the subsequent socialist reconstruction of it, so I won’t try to persuade you otherwise. All that I can tell you is that false equivalences like this are a major reason why I study Fascism and share history with others to improve their own knowledge of the subject. If I hadn’t been exhausted after reading the ‘commies = nozzies’ comparison for the umpteen thousandth time, I likely wouldn’t have half the knowledge that I have now about this subject.

          I say: keep it up. Every thoughtless and uninformed comment that ideologues like you share in public makes me look better and encourages me to continue educating others.

                  If you don’t want to see us, you don’t have to come to Lemmygrad (which is an explicitly communist forum). If you do, it might help to not scream at us that we supposedly support death (which is why they told you to relax).

                  But anyways, the Lemmygrad admins banned you…

              Why would that comparison be about the USA? I said destroyed Europe. USA is a shit country but that was something they didn’t do. You genuinely think the Nazis were equal to the Soviets. I can’t make something that ridiculous up.
