Don't we all need comic relief, once in a while? Saint Suspicious comes to the rescue every Wednesday!
In our first strip, a monk walks the desert of Egypt and runs into a rather bizarre creature...

This is John Shapiro, Pennsylvania's State Attorney General, delivering the findings by the PA Supreme Court Grand Jury, of the systematic sex abuses of children, and coverups, by Roman Catholic pedophile priests and bishops...
Word for word (am leaving out some of the most graphic details) : "Despite raping a child, having her child... stand on a bed in a rectory, pose naked as Christ on the cross for the priests. They took photos of the victim, adding them to a collection, which they produced and shared on church grounds... told alter boys not to wear any clothes under their cassocks because God didn't want any clothes on their skin when they served mass .."
International Blasphemy Day holiday was created in response to laws the world over that attempt to curtail what can be said, sung, drawn, painted and filmed based on arbitrary rules from one or another of the so-called holy books. The disrespect, mockery and ridicule are intended to provoke as a way of pointing out how ridiculous such laws and morays are.

PREFACE to the final part: This true story of a 1960's child who is physically, mentally and sexually traumatized by religion reflects, in my opinion, a significant underlying factor for why Donald Trump is headed towards becoming the 45th president of the USA... despite Hillary Clinton having amassed some 2.5 million more votes. Such abuse, rampant within religions, rises to an international public health crisis that critically impacts civilization's capacity to learn, and functionally adapt, from challenges such as those encompased by the Selective Exposure Theory. These and associated, group-reinforced issues can cloak themselves as nationalism, patriotism, "One Nation Under God", "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer" ("One people, one empire, one leader"), and "Make America Great Again" ... never mind "I will be the greatest jobs president that God ever created.”

I see people every day who are open about being Atheist. They are on Facebook and other social media outlets bursting with tidbits, novellas, short stories, rants, and so forth about their Atheism. I was always jealous of the blind faith that many religious people have. I am not jealous of that anymore. I am jealous today of the strength and bravery Atheists have in coming out of the Atheist closet.

It’s so hard to see how Christians react to Atheism. Hard to see, hard to watch, and very hard for me as a person to experience and feel. I have noticed an overwhelming hateful trend in people who claim to be Christian treating those who have denounced Christianity; even benign Atheists (i.e. non-militant types). I have seen Christians befriend other people and once they find out a friend is not a Christian they drop them or talk bad about them to others. It’s a members-only club that fails to note the importance of the actual teachings of Christ. Many Christians are, indeed, not very Christian-like.
