Description

Here's the transcription of the comic:

Panel 1:

• Character praying: "God, is life better free or constrained?"
• God: "Both."

Panel 2:

• Character: "Like, we must be freely true to ourselves yet know the bonds of community life?"
• God: "Nah."

Panel 3:

• God: "The ideal human life is one where you live in a tiny confined domain, believing it's the whole universe, then doing really well in those tiny bounds."

Panel 4:

• Character: "Like if you want to be real happy, kill all humans but about 20 and then make sure you're the biggest one."

Panel 5:

• God: "No outside surprises. Every day is predictable, with small achievable goals. And literally everyone either loves or fears you."

Panel 6:

• Character: "Why did you make us this way?"
• God: "Satan thinks you all have souls and it’s keeping him really distracted."
