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.

I mean I've seen some random Instagram stuff where Republicans think that Jesus would not allow immigrants into this country. It truly is another level of delusion at this point
Yeah, the widely practiced "Prosperity Gospel" stuff is like a religious studies PhD designed the most anti-Christian form of Christianity for a thesis, and suddenly people started picking it up and running with it.
First, it is by no means “widely practiced” as it is a niche version of Calvinism that is only common in the USA. The Roman Catholic church does not in any way endorse this view and they are a billion or so of the christian population. Whatever the Vatican does is more or less what is “widely practiced”.
Second as mentioned it is based in Calvinism. If I could slap the shit out of any man in history he’s in my top two.
Ohhh, friendo, there's about 500 million Christians in Africa that are heavily besieged by Evangelicals pushing this for the political clout. It's rampant.
Plus, that Joel Osteen guy peddled a version of this hard.
