- 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).

Wow, the couple of comments so far are just raging "le redditor atheist".
This comic is harmless. Ya'll just see "religion" and get angry... calm down edgelords.
Yes I do see religion and rage. Why can I not go more than 3 minutes in my life without it being forcefed down my throat? All I want is for religious people to shut the fuck up about it. I don't want to hear about your sky daddy or how much fun you had destroying cultures last weekend. It's all demented.
I'm an atheist too, but this wasn't about pushing religious beliefs on us. This was about an experience from childhood, and it's a pretty funny one. Are they just supposed to keep all life experiences censored to abide by people's beliefs or lack of beliefs? Because that prejudicial nonsense goes both ways.
Accept that people will not always share your own beliefs/non-beliefs.
I feel that way about Linux.
Ok.
Yeah, the "church" thing was just placing the setting, which sounds like it could be a real event from the author's life - not much they can do about where it happened. The story and the punchline have nothing to do with religion, so it's an odd thing to latch onto.
TBF, Brown 'losing his religion' is a major theme of the graphic novel, and I thought he handled it with plenty of respect, tact, and honesty... all told in his quirky storytelling mode, of course.
