Seriously, I love the comic, but not all religious people lie to themselves just to make themselves feel better, a lot of them actually really believe it." 1. I disagree. 2. You're probably right, but how does that apply here? Did Mr. Willis make the claim to be speaking for or about every religious person at any point? Unless of course you're trying to deny the existence of any such people, in which case, ah HA HA HA, AH HA HA HA HA HA HA. :P “The religious allegory is a little too much.

How... awful? I'm sorry, I don't understand your point of view. Unless you're one of those folks who hates even the idea of discussing religion, in which case, please save the atheistic tirade for someone who'd care to listen and just nod, 'kay? Oh no, religious allegory! How… awful?

Even though in fact people like that do exist? And in fact, exist in numbers that may, in reality, be referred to more generically as "many", particularly in areas such as the South? Even though they exist commonly enough that they have effects on the politics of the US and even whole election cycles? Wow. That is some convoluted logic there. I'm pretty sure any wacky group who gets out of hand is worth satirizing, especially when it has a significant impact on our culture or politics or, in this case, private lives/employment.

Seriously, I love the comic, but not all religious people lie to themselves just to make themselves feel better, a lot of them actually really believe it. And it's not just some book some guy found that says that something happened a long time ago, Christianity and Islam and Judaism didn't just appear when someone found a magic book. It's not like one day there was no religion an then someone said they found a book so everyone should believe it. And not all believers mindlessly and unquestioningly follow religion. Many religious people genuinely question or have questioned their faith and then come to conclusions they believe are true based on evidence given to them. Not like here where the only sensible one is the non-believer and everyone else is a freaking unquestioning, lying, self-indulgent moron. The religious allegory is a little too much.

Unemployment benefits? Also what State are they in, cause many States have laws that forbid employment termination based solely on sexual orientation (and Galasco made it clear in front of a large audience that Ethan was being fired specifically for being gay).
