Heavy-handed dogma meets easy-going-down cute-eyed Manga.  I thought I'd never see this day, but the Chick Tract's progeny have gone farther than it's leather-clad homosexuals and pissy scientists ever did.

Thoughts?

Ah, yes, the old "proof by contrived example". These comics are plenty heavy-handed themselves; it would be a lot better if they were more natural, not heaviliy drama'd-up six-page contrivances.

If you don’t have freedom as a principle, you can never see a reason not to make an exception. There are constantly going to be times when for one reason or another there’s some practical convenience in making an exception.

I agree, yet, I do think they are somewhat more subtle than the old Chick tracts.  I mean, the stereotypes aren't quite as pervasive here.  They're a move in the right direction, but nowhere near as nuanced as they should be.
