Medicine that actually works relies 0% on God. <br /><br />Now, this is a terrible subject for a comic, and Randall predictably delivers shit.

Which makes us default to whatever the topic of the day is, be it Twilight, Atheist Angst, or whether Anal is an expression of true love [it is].<br /><br />Re XKCD839:I'd go so far as to say that the basic setting presented in 839 is cute and kind of entertaining. I like the idea of a bishop and a knight screwing with each other over board dynamics, and then bitching in a supremely passive-aggressive manner about it. <br /><br />So again, I'm concluding that this is one of Randall's good ideas that's a few steps away from being orchestrated well.<br /><br />@The Internet: Yes, it is I, the Supreme Defender of Christianity, who chose to name myself after the most Christian of birds, the <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iYrhopY-rI4/TJe9jDwfjoI/AAAAAAAAGks/yPYaF_oJDSg/s1600/Rich-Raven-AWAY-WITH-YOU-peasant.jpg" rel="nofollow">"Ravenz[omg!]"</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714810984552499396.post-74320728015851014892010-12-27T07:59:12.499-08:002010-12-27T07:59:12.499-08:00"Feasting on his loved ones, it is that time ..."Feasting on his loved ones, it is that time of year again."<br /><br />I lol'd<br /><br />"On the whole you come off as very...

I'd remark that if we greatly reduced the half-dozen top reasons for assholery (poverty, greed, prejudice, add 3 of your own) then we'd be assholes on a much smaller scale, hurt fewer people, and hurt them less. <br /><br />However this is neither here nor there. If there had been no religion people would have been oppressed for different reasons, but in fact there is religion and atheists are some of the oppressed ones (in the western world). If there was no racism people might have been segregated based on hairdo, but there *is* racism and we should fight it.<br /><br />@Ravenzomg, atheists have it better and worse than black people had it. Atheists weren't brought to a condition of poverty by centuries of slavery, and they are able to hide their atheism. However there are (right now) far fewer atheists than blacks, so it is much harder to get a social movement going. On the other hand, the analogy to homosexuals is quite close. I guess that if you had been an idiot in the 70s you would have flamed the gay rights movement.<br /><br />On the whole you come off as very...
