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.

Either the others didn't have enough paper to do so, knowledge of it, or didn't see it as important. Matthew has already written it down anyway.

It sure seems like God could have remedied all of those, as the harmony of the Bible is often mis-cited as another miracle.

Most of my Christian friends including my girlfriend were non believers who converted.

I don't believe you, because Christians have a habit of embellishing their stories. Every "former non-believer" I've ever met were really just non-practicing Christians who had been indoctrinated but fell away then later reaffirmed their faith for social reasons.

I've never heard a good rational reason based to believe any of it. You could change that, but I don't think it's a challenge that can be fulfilled because people don't believe in religion for rational reasons, the do it for social reasons.

It's a big reason why most people stay in the religion they were indoctrinated into: otherwise they'll lose their social network and become ostracized. It's why people join a religion: they want that social network.

😂😂😂 Somebody likes to make assumptions

I don't believe in your strawman interpretation of Christianity either, don't worry.

I know. I never really believed you were going to think critically about your religion.

Thanks for the discussion.
