I hear that. I think it's cause as far as Stout goes, she's not anti-Muslim, she treats all religions with equal contempt. Referring to religious people as ones who have "an imaginary friend" is a cheap shot at anyone who believes in a higher power that can't be unquestionably proven to exist.

I think it is the equivalent of a religious person saying "you don't believe what I believe therefore you are going to hell". Neither is a pleasant comment and both should be kept out of general conversation.

Two words: Unfalsifiable hypothesis.

To be fair,I may be a Christian, but I find some religions like Wicca to be absolute crap. I understand where Erin(or rather the people who make this comic, since she's a fictional character) is coming from. Also, God isn't imaginary, he's just invisible. :p

What a load of crap!
I mean, calling Him a "friend" is a bit of over exaggeration.
That dude either doesn't give a shit about us or in the best case scenario is making fun of us.
More like imaginary jerk.

Erin and religious fanatics share a special link.



Anywho, I love the multi-facepalm. Suitable actions are suitable. Also, that zinger might make a few people more ravenous than they probably should be. I'll be checking back in to see all the discussion later.

This was a brilliant strip. I'm completely loving the casual way she points it out. 10/10

Is it a bad thing that it took me a solid 30 seconds to figure out why everyone was face-palming in the last chapter?

This is why I've been moving away from religious jokes in the past. I feel uncomfortable about making jokes about Christianity because nowadays every time I say it and people laugh I can't help but wonder "Are they laughing with me or are they laugh at me?" As an extension I feel uncomfortable making fun of Muslims as well.
