Not sure what the audience would be for it.
The churchies won't read it ( too long and doesn't threaten anyone with eternal damnation) and we already know.

Seemed like a lot of effort for the small giggle it offered.
I did like the 4 horsemen, except that equality dude. Being a memeber of the Privileged Elite (white male heterosexual) I can't have that equality shit fukin' up my day.
I used to tell a lot of religious jokes. Not any more, I'm a registered sects offender.

Well these comics have really interesting things hidden in the background, and is more of a intellectual read than a "masses" read.
Anyway it's fun to notice the little perks like the differences between the first and the last panel, before and after the apocalypse, like the "1 in 4 US girls have STD" to after the apocalypse "1 in 400 US girls have STD" representing that abstinence stopped being preached and condoms started being used, as a result of the apocalypse.
Also i know that the knights represent 4 famous atheists i know that the knight of science is Richard Dawkins, but do not recognise the other three, does anybody recognise them?

He is really cool. Only one of his books remains for me to get (I have at least one each of the other 3 of the four horsemen). I'll get the End of Faith when I can afford it hopefully.
