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.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Religion is their Candle in the Dark. It's cruel to blow it out when they don't have another light.
You can't get another light until you're in the dark.
And atheism offers any kind of light?
Atheism doesn't offer anything. It's a lack of belief, not a religion or anything like that.
The light has to be something internal, external, or both that makes the suffering of life worth it.
They use that candle to burn your house down. There are better ways to light your path.
The woman crying in this comic isn't the religion that's "burning down your house"
She's just some schmoe that had her light in the dark removed and now she's scared.
I agree, there are better ways to light the darkness than religion. Candle in the Dark is a book by Carol Sagan about how science is a candle in the dark.
Oh... what religion is it?
That women is voting against abortion and for concentration camps for the gays. Because her religion told her so.
