He did specify 'Organized Religion' in the description, which is what you're generally talking about when you refer to priests... Just because somebody doesn't like the way other people tell them to experience the spiritual aspects of their lives doesn't mean they dislike religion in general.The Tall Nerd said:
That said, great comic as usual, guys. As was already said by others before me, you have my sincere and deepest respect for keeping on schedule with release despite this being Christmas week.
I ask that you consider the comic you are referring to. Aside from video game humor, this series has been carried by the consistency of Erin as a "dick" character. It is who she is, it's what she does. If you're annoyed by seeing "dick" humor in a comic about a "dick" character, then you might be reading the wrong comic. I do not wish to turn you away from Critical Miss by any means, though. Just maybe alter your expectations?The Tall Nerd said:
Strange that you would keep coming back here after so long if you hadn't found them funny in the past.Nimzabaat said:
Well put, sir. I find that Erin really has it in for religion....and everyone and everything in a 20ft radius around her. She could pick a fight with a puppy. That's why I am here--for the douchebaggery. The jokes do not always register with me due to my unfamiliarity with some of the mainstream video game content. When this is the case, I simply hold my tongue and wait a week.AzureFlameLord said:
The art in this strip has become freakin' excellent. I am so glad you guys won the Web Comic contest.
The LoL community is childish, but that doesn't automatically mean they're foul. It does mean that often, mind you, but not automatically. It's more that they're reactionary and escalate anything seen as a challenge, or at least enough of them to be noticeable do this. Speaking calmly and kindly makes 80% of games turn out quite civil, with any lone shitflinger generally being hushed into irrelevance by the rest of the players. Pro-active courtesy goes a long way into setting the tone of the match, some kind words in the lobby make all the difference. I know some people will have wildly different experiences to my own, but myself and most of the people I know who also play have found that given the chance to be decent folk, most folk will.
And hey, if a jerkwad gets you down, just mosey on over to the tribunal page and drop lawful good justice on twenty chumps like him. Eventually, you'll get your guy.

I do agree that constructive criticism is both a positive and necessary element of these sorts of things. If you believe these comics could be better, or you disagree with a certain way in which something in handled, I'm sure the creators appreciate your input. However, I would suggest you make that criticism your immediate priority when posting if you do have such intentions. Your original post simply pointed out that you were not amused. I may be misinterpreting your method of criticism here, but that does not seem to offer the creators much in terms of advice or actual critique. In fact, it would be fairly easy to misinterpret your comment as a petty complaint and nothing more. I mean no offense by this, I just believe you should offer more if you wish to make a difference.The Tall Nerd said:
I was referring to your initial post while stating that you should have made criticism your first concern instead of simply complaining that you do not like the humor. I never claimed to agree or disagree with you, I'm just trying to make a point. I won't force you to converse with me, and I can't help it if you don't like what I'm saying. Sorry to have wasted your time.The Tall Nerd said:
Quick question on this subject.Tanis said:
Which is correct?
Consider that 5 is the number, and that 1 is considered to be a part of 5 (1,1,1,1,1) or (1,4).
1 = 5
1 =/= 5
1 <?> 5
Where <?> is another symbol that I am not aware of.
Going on the interpretation where "Christian" = 5 and "Catholic" = 1, what would be the closest to correct?
Alternatively:
slice = whole pie
slice =/= whole pie
slice <?> whole pie
Technically, the original meaning of the word virgin was a pure, untouched maiden. Thus, men could not be considered virgins.Abomination said:
Considering the OP said "priest" and many other Christian denominations do not use the term "priest" to refer to their respective religious representatives but Catholics DO and Catholics are the largest of the organisations who use the term "priest" it isn't hard to assume that was the group she was talking about. Other denominations use the term reverend or Chaplin or Beta-7 (or whatever).
It is unlikely she was referring to Anglicans as the Church of England doesn't exactly have a very strong following in the 'States when compared to Catholicism.

≠ doesnt mean "not". It means "not equal". In this case thats important, because for something to be equal they need to be identical, not just one being a subset of the other.Tanis said:
"Catholic ≠ Christian" is correct. For Catholic to equal Christian would require that all Christians be Catholics, and conversely saying "Catholic ≠ Christian" only means "not all Christians are Catholic".
Thats a strange way of phrasing it, but if we accept your phrasing I would go with option 3 - a different symbol. Namely, I would say "1 ∈ 5", where ∈ means "an element of the set", since youve kind of phrased the question so that 5 is a set of smaller numbers.Monster_user said:
