Haha...don't you know it "Interlocking-Man" ^_~
And I wouldn't say it is "conformist" to make fun of religion. It takes just as much backbone to vocalize your disapproval of something when you know it could get you in trouble.
I mean, think of how many "systems" have been fought against throughout history that were considered FINE at the time, but, in retrospect, seem terrible. I don't mean to compare Christianity to things like Nazi Germany, agricultural fundamentalism in Japan, or Soviet Russia (to name a few), but I'm saying that it's difficult to criticize something that is so widely accepted.
The REASON I apologized for my comic is because it wasn't educated criticism, so much as it was outright bashing/insulting. If I had intelligently criticized an aspect of Christianity I disagreed with (there are many) through a comic, I would not have apologized for it. Remember that Galileo was nearly executed for fighting the church's view that the sun revolved around the earth? Think of how LUDICROUS that concept seems to us now. However, if it hadn't been for people like Galileo and Copernicus who were willing to go against common thought, would we still believe it?
Of course, I don't mean to compare myself to Galileo and Copernicus either...but you get the point ^_~
