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.

So drag somehow thinks that believing in nothing is easier than believing in proven fact?
Yeah, if you have a disease that impairs you ability to process facts. When a disease is impairing your judgement so you can't see the facts, believing in facts is impossible. You can't see them. That's like asking a blind from birth person to believe in the colour red. When you tell a severely depressed person to believe in facts, they just feel frustrated that they can't see the facts. They feel like you're lying to them. It's counterproductive.
If you tell them to believe in nothing, well that's easy, because nothing is precisely what they can see. It doesn't feel like a contradiction to them. They are acknowledging the absurdity of what they must do and then doing it.
