Some atheism vs. religion comics I found

[Music Dragon]

I never said I was religious. Even if I did, it wouldn't make any difference to what I'm saying.

I guess not - I'm just trying to say that you shouldn't feel offended! I don't think anyone here hates people simply because they're religious; we're just mocking the behaviours of certain especially irritating kinds of religious believers.

Which is why I specifically mentioned religion as well. I'm sure we could argue about what exactly any one religion encompasses, and of course denominations differ quite extensively, and of course only some people actually listen to everything religion has to tell them, but the heart of the matter is that, yes, a lot of religions would send you to hell for not believing in them.

Which, as you don't believe in them or their Hell, is bound to come across as quite a savage threat to you. XD

It's not so much that we're threatened with hell, it's that they honestly believe people go to Hell. It's a horrible thing because children are taught that they friends and loved ones will go to Hell simply because they don't believe in fairies.

Yes, they can be, but the comic you specified doesn't show this... *is confused*

A while ago and in a different thread. Sorry; I'm tired.

I'm still not sure; lots of branches of Christianity teach about repentance and as long as a person ends up accepting God, even after death, they'll be accepted into heaven.
I admit I don't know too much about other religions, and like Harle said, most of them have drastically different ideas of an afterlife, but I mentioned it because the comic was specifically about Christianity.

I think that everyone - non-fundamental religious believers especially - would like it if the especially irritating kinds of religious believers would stop being so irritating; they're giving everyone else a bad name.

Most of these strike me as kind of silly; they're aimed against a very small portion of the followers of one religion while pretending to advocate atheism, when they could generally just as well be advocating informed, tolerant religion. :/

I like the science versus creationism one. It seems to nail the point the best of those.

actually, the only way to badly portray atheism/evolution is to misunderstand it (and if there is another way i seem to have missed it/it is extremely rare)

not really a comic, but still

"So you guys have finally found all the transitional fossils?"

Unggh. ;; I'm hardly a qualified expert in the field, but damn, that makes even me twitch.

saw 'godtube' in link, didn't watch

 

[Abwayax]

Jesus taught that it was important to respect others regardless of who they were (The Good Samaritain) and that you didn't have to be of a certain religion to get into heaven (Parable of the Sheep and Goats).

Yeah, but who listens to Jesus these days anyway?

Too small to read. :( (I've seen it, though.)
