Comic #4920: cleric
Description
Here's a detailed description of the comic:
Panel 1: A bearded man wearing a tunic stands in a dark corridor, holding his chest. A cloaked figure next to him, presumably a healer or priestess, touches him reassuringly. The man says, "I feel better!"
Panel 2: A different character, a large, muscular man with a serious expression, looks surprised and asks, "Wait, what? You have a direct line to God for miracles?"
Panel 3: The first man responds, "You can conjure up absolute proof of God at any time?" The healer nods, and the bearded man adds, "If I have enough mana, yeah sure."
Panel 4: The muscular man exclaims in disbelief, "How does anyone in this world ever do anything bad? There's proof of God on tap all day long!"
Panel 5: The bearded man, looking puzzled, replies, "Why are we going into a dungeon to fight Bozmodikla when we could be attending Bible class, marrying prudish young maidens, and racking up heaven long?"
Panel 6: The cloaked figure responds, "Oh, well, God is a predestinarian. Your behavior can't determine whether you'll go to heaven. It's all worked out in advance."
Panel 7: The muscular man raises a brow and asks, "What? So bad people go to heaven and good people don’t?"
Panel 8: The cloaked figure explains, "No. Other way around. Heaven-bound people act good and hell-bound people act bad. But nobody has a choice."
Panel 9: The bearded man looks incredulous and says, "Like, after this dungeon crawl, you're going to end up at a medium-tier brothel, no matter how pious you feel at this particular moment. Right, God?"
Panel 10: The cloaked figure responds, "Dead on, Sally."
Panel 11: A new section labeled "LATER…" shows a bed scene with two young women kissing a man who looks frustrated and says, "This sucks."
Overall, the comic humorously discusses themes of faith, predestination, and the absurdities of life choices in a fantasy setting.
