I find it interesting to see the reactions to the "Hard Onions" strips.

Where some find fear and others preaching, I see hope.

And I see someone explaining his worldview. If anything, I found it interesting. So far, at least.

Religion is hope?

Yes, religion can be hope for people. It can also be a way to keep the people cowed, and a way to control a people, and any number of other things.

For him, it is hope.

And whether or not we share a religion (we don't), I'm happy for him. He knows his place in the universe because of his religion - correction, let's call it the better term - his FAITH, and that helps him. And gives him, and others, hope.

I can see why some people wouldn't like the recent spate of "Hard Onions" strips.

I kinda like them. Gives some insight into where the author is coming from--as did the discussions that came from them. (I never knew Ralph was the son of a preacher--but it explains a lot)

Faith can move mountains, as the old saying goes. ...or at least enable one man (with the occasional volunteer help and donated materials) to build a cathedral with a 40 meter tall dome: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/5381710.stm
