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.
- AI-generated comics aren't allowed.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Any one who’s raised kids knows that the moment they created that one restriction, it set up a fascination with that tree. Curiosity is like that. The more they remind themselves they can’t, the more they wonder.
All the other stuff? Boring. Old news.
More over, they were literally the definition of ignorant. They had no understanding of good,evil, or sin; only that they were told not to.
Like toddlers. Except instead of teaching toddlers to behave, he kicked them out of the home, disowns them and says “good luck, fuck off, and oh if you come back a giant flaming sword will go up your ass.”
Sounds like he was trying to do a version of that experiment with the Russian foxes, where breeding the most social and obedient ones together actually did produce animals who were more inclined to be obedient and social with humans. The difference is that whatever humanity is, we're some of the ones who were kicked out to become the control group while the pure strain is maintained in the garden. After all, there were other humans so that Cain could take a wife, so... there's that. And we wrote it down, so we're the winners compared to Neanderthal or Denisovan.
Bronze-age authors of ancient myths weren't concerned about women. Presumably, Cain had numerous sisters, at least a few of which became his wives and went with him when he got kicked out. At least, that would be the narrative they told.
most of genesis is actually just propaganda in one form or another.
