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.
- Limit of two posts per person per day.
- Bots aren't allowed.
- Banned users will have their posts removed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

I said I'm suspicious of people worried about it, not that I'm a supporter of scientism.
A lot of people who seem to worry about scientism turn out to have some quackery that they insist is worth looking into because "Its not been disproven". Or have some kind of spiritual belief that they want to mentally run cover for via "science might be wrong".
That's a fair thing to be concerned about - any blind faith is a problem. We should always be ready to, if not slaughter our sacred cows, at least take them to the vet once in a while (apologies for the tortured metaphor).
