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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Not shown is the mother hatefully oppressing others due to her religion.
Religion can be both helpful to those that follow it while also causing those same people to do or support horrific things in its name.
Yes. Exactly. "Not shown". That's not part of this comic. You've brought it in all on your own. You've missed the point of the comic if that's what you're focused on. Everybody here knows that religion can harm people. That's not the point of this comic. The point is that the way the son character went about his goals was exactly as destructive as the way that religion does. It was a warning to ensure that your discussion include love for the people behind the discussion, and not just hate for them for being wrong.
I think I've gone over twenty years with this being the exact thing that bothers me and have never been able to articulate it as well as you just did in one sentence.
not shown: the christian deacon who was the most supportive person i had in the early days of my transition, who never judged or oppressed me for a single instant, who advised and consoled me when there was nobody else, without whom i would have been far worse off and may not have even survived.
Stop assuming every individual christian is a deluded bigotry-addled far-right whackjob, you aren't helping.
