Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
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.

They're being pretty misleading IMO. The word "hell" doesnt appear anywhere in the original text, no. But neither does the word "heaven".
And yet the concepts of heaven and hell, as Christians understand them, do exist in the text. There is the threat of eternal punishment after death. There is the promise of eternal reward after death.
That the english word we use doesnt exactly appear in the Hebrew, Greek or aramaic texts is quite frankly not worth mentioning.
