Thorsby has some pretty 00's Internet nerd feelings about religion, so brace for that here. It's not completely awful, but still a bit tiresome.

Thorsbys feelings feel pretty well established in scandinavia and this 00 internet nerd stuff is more an american phenomenon IMO.

I live in Scandinavia and it still feels a bit like the opinions me and my friends had when we were teenagers. "Religion is bad and is holding society back", with no nuance

it's not exactly "preemptive gesturing" to invoke atheist memes at the atheist meme defender

TBC has some really embarrassing takes on religion and it's a noticeable flaw on an otherwise clever work, it's fair game to talk about this in the comics thread

I wouldn't say that TBC is too harsh on the very concept of religion, there are plenty of coocoo insane cults looking to recruit a doofus like Ulf IRL.
Every reasonable person religious or otherwise would agree that it should be a matter of personal choice and introspection.
Ulf just tried to get laid.

And yes, hard agree on this one. There's so many assholes attributing their assholery to religion that I find ascribing to religion unjustifiable. I can't even claim to be atheist these days for all the dipshit assholes claiming to be atheist. We're a species of jerks, and while I can't disown my species I sure as gently caress can disown collectivism and tribalism.

Oh gently caress this is the comics thread isn't it. Err... Lemme find a comic

Emil is a rich, spoiled failson who's essentially never experienced any hardship and a lot of the early comic relief comes from having normal things happen to him and then he blows them out of proportion.

Religion sucks but most of the stuff you are mad about would still happen even if religion didn't exist because for conservatives religion is less of a real ideology and more a system of rationalizations for reactionary things they'd believe anyways. For example, look at how conservatives shifted their anti-gay rhetoric from "jesus hates this" arguments to "they are doing child grooming" over the years since most people don't care what God thinks on the matter anymore. The actual text of their chosen holy book never really mattered all that much (and was in many ways written directly in opposition to people like them, which is hilarious).
