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.

Nah, Sithrak's followers are chill, they know eternal torment awaits everyone eventually, there's no rush; they just spread the horrid word, no need to implement it themselves.
I mean as far as religious teachings go, "Stay alive as long as possible because there is only eternal torment awaiting you" is a pretty decent thing to get people to try and follow.
Egalitarian, too. Sithrak doesn't discriminate. Everyone will burn, regardless of race, gender, or creed.
The fact that Sithrak is actually a pretty nice guy and doesn't do that makes it even better.
Of course, that's how you know it's fiction, any worthy religion from real life would have him burned at the stakes as soon as he claims God said the sacred books are wrong.
Refreshing for a religion to worship a god they say is evil and be nice guys rather than what usually happens, worshipping a god they say is good while being full of hate.
