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.

Buddhists still believe in a universal moral code.

Ethnologist Christoph von Fürer-Haimendorf explained,

In Buddhist thinking the whole universe, men as well as gods, are subject to a reign of law. Every action, good or bad, has an inevitable and automatic effect in a long chain of causes, an effect which is independent of the will of any deity. Even though this may leave no room for the concept of 'sin' in the sense of an act of defiance against the authority of a personal god, Buddhists speak of 'sin' when referring to transgressions against the universal moral code.

If there is no God, then there's no moral code, and no objective morality.

Ahh makes sense, you think that humans are evil and depraved - which is kind of telling on yourself. So maybe for you specifically it's cool that there is a book explaining that murder is bad. Most people just need a bit of empathy to get such a complex idea.

We are evil and depraved. Don't you see what we have done to this earth? And our moral compass has been ingrained in us since Eden. You don't need to be a Christian to have morals. We have them because it's true.

We are evil and depraved.

Babies too? Also unborn babies? Than again, since child cancer is a thing - evil babies might be a thing too. But I digress.

So tell me how are you evil and what is depraved about you?

Don’t you see what we have done to this earth?

The same any species without a natural predator would have done? It's more of an argument against human intelligence as it is for god.

And our moral compass has been ingrained in us since Eden. You don’t need to be a Christian to have morals. We have them because it’s true.

I am one of the most depraved and disgusting people I know. There's no redeeming qualities about me. That's why I thank God every day for saving me and forgiving me. He is the only one who can redeem me.

Seems about right.
