    The only problem with this comic is that it could have been written non-satirically by a conservative without changing a word.

        NGL, I went to their website to see what kind of content creator they were before posting, because it really could be taken either way, which is a pretty sad reflection of the state of things right now.

      That problem is the same I’ve faced talking to people. They distrust science and anything that disagrees with what they have been told by trusted people in their tribes (often church). That’s what makes this message effective.

        That’s the whole schtick with faith: it’s belief without evidence, by definition.

        Anyone prepared to have faith in anything is ripe for exploitation, by anyone.

        Churchies self-select for exploitation.

          You know 45% of Christians vote for Democrats, right? I think that was last election, I haven’t checked the recent one, but it’s a large fraction.

          I know Christians have done a lot of damage, and the evil ones are incredibly loud. It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

            Why would it be weird that some people from any group have a stupid idea? The average human is pretty stupid.

            … And the other 55%? The majority?

            And you’re taking a national ratio which is meaningless with a system like the electoral college.

            It’s still weird how some atheists think that only blithering idiots exist in religions.

            Look! We found one!
