Comic 900: Randall and religion

Alt-text: But to us there is but one God, plus or minus one. --1 Corinthians 8:6±2.

Again Randall decides to throw as many jokes as possible at his readers. We have a raptor/rapture in-joke, a subversion of the 'holiday Christian' stereotype, and some sort of science/religion mashup to finish off. None of them are particularly funny, but they're not offensively bad. The 'artwork' is virtually irrelevant.

What is most interesting about the comic is how carefully he avoids outright insults – nothing here can be construed as an attack on the religious, unless you are very easily offended. Randall is quick to shout against anti-science ideas (example), but that doesn't mean he is willing to label himself an anti-theist, probably because he is too thin-skinned to take the abuse.
