"What's all this?" "It's my new train set...There was a big accident." "I didn't know you liked train sets." "I don't...I've only created all this so I can play God over these morons." "...And you staged an accident?" "Sure...It's one of the perks of playing God." "Did anyone get hurt?" "Oh, yeah. All of the good town-folk died...As luck would have it, it was 'Picnic on the Train Tracks Day' in Ratopia." "Did anyone live?" "Yeah...Evil Ernie, the lawyer....He hates everyone, so he skipped the picnic...And, uh...the chickens...I decided that all the chickens lived." "What kind of God lets the good people die, but keeps the bad people alive?" "Heh heh heh heh Snicker...Snicker....SNOOOOORT....AHHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHHAHAHA HOOOOHOOO." "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HEEHEEHEEHEE EEE HOOHOOHOO HEE HEE HAW HAW...OH HO HO HO HO..." "...Now if you'll excuse me, my chickens have some subpoenas to serve."

None of it is true, there’s no god or satan, just human nature making us do what comes naturally, even though it may be evil. It’s up to US, and not some imaginary god, to become better people.

@Dawkins fan thats your opinion, but not some of ours, this is a comic strip, its meant to be laughed at.
giratina08 almost 12 years ago
some comic strips can be meant to inspire meaning while making people laugh. Comics are art, and art inspires thought as proven by this discussion.

I think God gave us freedom as beings, but that freedom comes with a price. If he controlled everything we did s we were perfect, we’d be gods, not human.

Take the simple solution like me…You can avoid all this if you’re atheist.Also, why don’t we just leave this topic alone…No one agrees with anyone.

The good guys die and go to paradise where they no longer have to worry about anything, whereas the bad guys live and keep having to deal with all the crap down here? I’d say the good guys got the better end of the deal.
