The ten commandments don’t say no other gods. They say “Thou shalt have no other gods before me”. It’s absolutely fine to have other gods behind Deus, or equal to Him. Just no worshipping other gods more than Deus if you’re a christian.

Monotheism isn’t an essential part of christianity, it’s a pointless and harmful choice that assholes decided to justify by hiding behind the abuse of their own supposed religious beliefs.

1 Corinthians 8:6, Deuteronomy 6:4, 1 Timothy 2:5, Isaiah 44:6, James 2:19, John 17:3 would disagree with you.

Need any more?

You got any pre-roman sources or are you just going to trust what the Romans made up about Christianity after Jesus died?

Deuteronomy and Isaiah are Pre-Roman.

And the New Testament was not written by the Romans, but by first Century Christians

Hello fellow Far Side fans!

About this community and how I post the comic strip… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips and one of those was The Far Side. These days of course you find just about anything online including www.thefarside.com where they post several comics a day and I repost them here. Just to note, the date you see in my posts is not the initial release date, but the date they were posted on the website.

The Far Side is a single-panel comic created by Gary Larson and syndicated by Chronicle Features and then Universal Press Syndicate, which ran from December 31, 1979, to January 1, 1995 (when Larson retired as a cartoonist). Its surrealistic humor is often based on uncomfortable social situations, improbable events, an anthropomorphic view of the world, logical fallacies, impending bizarre disasters, (often twisted) references to proverbs, or the search for meaning in life… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Far_Side

Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, cool stuff about the author, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s The Far Side!
