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.

Look, I know the church has been completely hijacked and this is a meme, but they donated well over 50B last year as a whole unit. Plenty of churches use some of that money to go back into advertising good causes.
How much did they take in? Mega churches convince people to tithe large percentages of their income.
His church alone takes in tens of millions in annual revenue and only donates about 1%
Is Joel representative of churches at large? Since when does he represent the entire Christian, Catholic, and team church at large? Do his actions cancel out the actual money that's raised in far far higher amounts than non Christians?
Yes, he represents Christians in the eyes of normal people. So does the Catholic church, the Morman Church, and the Westbruo Baptist Church. All of these groups go around saying they are in the same club as you, why should we care that you think your part of the club is different?
Oh you don't want me bringing the Catholics into this, wait until you hear what they've done.
I think, if you actually cared and didn't want to just sum up a diverse group which does inclunde truly generous people, many partiparing in progressive movements, you'd probably have a better time identifying good progressive Christians by region, socioeconomic class, and race vs the generic denominations.
Stop pushing folks out of the tent based on religion. It's a lost cause that harms, at a bare minimum harms anti fascism and the hell the GOP is creating.
