Hmm yeah, no, there will be NO cult books in my house. If my kids want to join a cult, they have to be 18 and move out. I love them more than anything but religion is destroying this country and the world, I will not stand by and be ok if my kids join a repulsive death cult.
Having religion is kinda like having a penis. It's okay to have one. It's okay to be proud of it. It is never okay to try to shove it down someone else's throat.
it's no ok. religion is unnatural. animals don't have religion. it's a slippery slope. today jesus tomorrow trump. it's adam and steve not adam and eve.
That’s pretty funny. I like seeing the shoe on the other foot. We should do this more often to point out the stupidity of others and their irrational beliefs that they consider superior
I don't hate christians, I just don't believe they should be allowed to get married, adopt children, have their existence acknowledged in the public sphere, or enjoy the expectation of freedom from discrimination in business, healthcare, employment, etc. Like I said, I don't hate them, I just disagree with their lifestyle.
That's just false. Cults do everything in their power to keep their members under their rule. Proper religions don't use underhanded methods. Wicca, for example, it's not a cult. Wicca is a largely solo religion
You're entitled to be mad about things people have done in the name of religion, or in many cases what religions have done in the name of people who lead them, because there's a lot of wacky shit out there. But there is a difference. Cults tend to be focused around a single charismatic leader who holds them together, and is siphoning money or power or sexual kink or whatever from them. There are certainly cults within religion, but calling all organized religion a cult is just inaccurate.
This is just satire, to emphasize how ridiculous conservative behavior toward LGBT people is. The underlying point is that an unnatural cult shouldn't treat natural phenomenon with such derision.
This is technically inaccurate. A cult is a form of belief that uses manipulative behaviours and coercion in order to prevent people from leaving. It's just that so many religions these days meet that criteria that they can be used synonymously.
Depends on the religion and more specifically the sect/denomination of the religion... I mean words have meaning and plenty of religions are LITERALLY not a cult if you use the definition of cult.

Cool, posting random garbage threads from other Twitter-like sites.
This is praxis.
lonosham
No, Praxis made Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri
JustLettingPeopleBeWrong
No, that's Firaxis!
Praxis was the 'bad guys' in World War II.
LtRooney
No, that was the Axis. Praxis is a moon of Qo'nos and center of the Klingon energy industry.

This is awesome. Such excellent turn-around, with the right amount of glee

A Biblical name was very considerate. Did you go with Lucifer or Beelzebub ?

At least he's respectful of pronouns, although it's weird seeing them capitalized.

The problem with religious people is that very often they do this both metaphorically and literally

TheMostKink
Hell yeah, all the bisexuals! Only one I don't recognise is the one to the right of Catman, in the first panel.
meme2zombie
Starting from the left of people not facing away these are what I got:
Moxie (borderlands), Snake (Metal gear solid), Shepard (Mass effect), Poison Ivy (batman), Mad Max, Commander (OC from the comic), Commander's GF (OC), Constantine (DC comics), Deadpool (marvel), Wonder Woman (DC), A greek god (generic or DC).
For the backwards ones I only recognize the guy from Dragon Age II (I think the one on the right is Hawk from DA).
kurenaixiii
The Greek God is the Marvel depiction of Hercules.
PunkyGils
The Greek god is Marvel's herculese
ArcUlfr
As far as I'm aware, they're all bi except for Max and maybe the Commander's girlfriend.
meme2zombie
Yeah they're all bi, the comic almost never has skinny men or female characters in it and this is the only time most of them in that panel show up.
CyberHexx
I hate that this comic came to an end. Commander B.A. is fricken awesome.
Zedrapazia
Same, it was gold

I know...d20monkey, Schlock Mercenary, Nerf This, so many good ones
fleetmind
Schlock Mercenary coming to an end was a bummer, I’d been reading that for so long. Haven’t seen anything new from the author since.
FreezoQ
I had completely forgotten Nerf This...

Religion is literally a cult though.

According to the US-FBI a cult is religon centered around a single (alive) person

Are we sure Jesus isn't siphoning sexual kink out of Christians though? 🕵️

LostCaterpillar
Technically in common usage a cult is just a religion that you don't like. Which is why I'm guessing you're not a big fan of any of them.
Tengenstein
Hard to be a fan of them really.
Elliotblet
No, I'm not a fan of cults.

smashpro1
The only difference between a religion and a cult is the number of followers.
