Why did the consensus of Christian churches not only accept these astonishing views but establish them as the only true form of Christian doctrine? . . . these religious debates — questions of the nature of God, or of Christ — simultaneously bear social and political implications that are crucial to the development of Christianity as an institutional religion. In simplest terms, ideas which bear implications contrary to that development come to be labeled as 'heresy'; ideas which implicitly support it become 'orthodox.'

Perks!

This is actually a disappointment. I was sure that scienceblogging gave one lightning quick driving reflexes, phenomenal sexual performance, the powers of the anti-christ, and the ability to write perfect copy with the first draft, but this comic seems to be implying that scienceblogging only gives you an excuse for falling short in those areas. Of course, I already have all of those abilities even without the scienceblogging biz, so this comic must be referring to all those other bloggers. Yeah, that's it. I'll keep telling myself that.

I always thought that the ONE place you're supposed to suck is in bed.

It is funny how the original "aphanitic" became "aphanatic" in Chris Rowan's post and then "aphantic" in this post!

Maybe one of the comic strips should say: "you suck in spelling and/or copying and pasting! -it's OK I am a scienceblogger" :-)

Rimshot? I'm not gonna touch that one.......

Well, being a comic artist, this strip 'sucks', It's hard to read and the visuals don't come across well. And of course, a ruler would have been nice;)

Best,

Brett

I like the fact that the professor figure in the fourth panel resembles the advisor in PhD Comics, even if the rest of the drawing is a crude imitation of xkcd.

Hey, drawing like the xkcd guy is hard!
