This is one of the ones where a character is more obviously a mouthpiece for me. I get really tired of Christians talking about their morals, which either fall into the category of destructive, or have nothing to do with whether or not you’re Christian, like, “Thou shalt not kill.” And then there’s all the other stuff, like all the wackiness in Leviticus about everything from animal sacrifices to stoning people and selling them into slavery, but for Christians to have an awareness of all that, they’d have to actually read the Bible, which is pretty rare. The irony is that what they point to as rules that should guide behavior is actually an excuse for them to behave however they want, because they pick and choose whichever bits appeal to them.
I could say more about this, obviously, but maybe for the moment I’ll give my soapbox a break and let the comic speak for itself :)
Oh come now, like you haven’t ever wanted to write your own set of rules that you reserve the right to change and pick and choose from to guide your behavior to others all while saying you don’t deserve to be punished because it is part of your “religion” :P
Rickets isn’t just speaking for you on that note, it’s utterly ridiculous that people do that. The thing that is truly hypocritical is that these are the same people who often criticize the practices of other religions, too.
