Two Toms Talking Theology
This comic was drawn by R.E. Ryan, who did a great job rendering my silly version of Colonial America. In 2023, Senator Josh Hawley posted this quote, attributing it to Founding Father Patrick Henry: It cannot be emphasized too strongly … Continue reading

Radical Gender Ideology
This cartoon is by me and Nadine Scholtes. In a way, it’s also by Samantha Fulnecky, because a lot of the dialog was swiped verbatim from a paper she wrote. But I don’t think she’d appreciate a co-writing credit. “Radical … Continue reading

Everyone Hates Atheists Except Jews And Atheists
Pew has polled Americans about how warmly they feel towards other religious groups. The graph to the left shows the results sorted by political party. It’s not surprising that Republicans really, really don’t like atheists. What’s more surprising is that … Continue reading
