I agree with the Jefferson quote, and true Christians aren’t concerned that people believe in other gods – at least not from a perspective where that is a problem other than their eternal souls. But, the comic poses a pithy question, and their certainly are answers that can be give to show how “gaming gods” do not equate the Biblical God: https://answersingenesis.org/is-god-real/the-creator-clearly-seen/
It’s funny how Catholics are involved in this angry mob but not Christians. Because protestants don’t care if there are thousands of false beliefs in the world. Just more reason to connect with people and preach the gospel to them.
Catholics are as Christian as you, since the definition of Christianity is „to believe in Jesus Christ as propagated by the Bible“. I mean they have the same damn book even. You may not agree with some of their views but that doesn’t make them any less christian
This would have been a great comment section if it had existed when this comic first started.

You can’t prove a negative. Can you prove invisible unicorns do not exist on Pluto? Therefore it must be true?
There are no historical evidence of his gaming “gods”, there are historical evidences of the gods of the others (mainly Christianity/Judaism).
Like I said previously, Ethan’s religion more closely represents the actions of Christianity. Even subconsciously the artist resorts to Christianity as the valid religion to mimic and no other ones. And then defends the new religion (that looks so much like Christianity) on why it should exist.
1. Yes this is true.
2. This is not true. There is zero evidence for any god anywhere and the Bible is as good a history book as Lord of the Rings. Even the exodus never happened (which surprised me personally the most)
3. Christianity is most familiar to the author (and you could argue to Ethan as an American). Which makes it easier to derive symbols and such from it. This isn’t any more proof of his believe than playing Disgaea or Doom even if it uses Christian terminology.
So without getting too lost in the details, there is a world of difference between monotheism and polytheism. It’s not about the number, but the origin. Most polytheistic deities throughout human history can be more accurately described as ‘descending from the heavens’ while the Abrahamic faiths claim God made the heavens. The Greek gods cam from the Titans who came from Gaia who came from- I just exhausted my knowledge of Greek-God-Genealogy. Whether or not the Abrahamic faiths are right, the difference is profound. Space-time (as we know it) was an object of creation within the Abrahamic faiths but predates/pre-exists… Read more »

absolutely NOT. What the fuck is this site? “Everyone knows there is a God.”. LoL.
It’s a Fundie’o’Rama by Ken Ham and is used for propaganda for YEC and biblical literalism. So a Site full of lies and bad analogies

I would love to debate the point, but this is supposed to be a comic for entertainment and not forum for apologetic debates of faith and religion.
since when protestants dont give a fuck exactly
This would have been a FUN comic section if it came out in 2017.
