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.

MODERATORS
"Our country has no preferential treatment for any religion"
"One nation under God"...
"In God we Trust"...
Eye of God on all 1$ bank notes...
i think the "under god" stuff was added later...
yeah, 1954
Apparently the pledge wasn't even a thing until the late 1800s, and wasn't adopted until the 40s.
Seems like overall is an indicator of modern jingoism and has nothing to do with founding fathers...
In God We Trust is also an objectively less cool motto than e pluribus unum which translates to out of many, one. We traded the original ideal of a people united by difference into a boringly generic religious proclamation just to try to stick it to the commies.
The beginnings of our current Christo-fascist problems in the McCarthy red scare.
