5	->''I'm honestly curious about what the backstory is on today's ''Herb and Jamaal'', in which Herb has charged into Rev. Croom's office to angrily challenge his entire belief system. Is this happening after yet another Sunday service that Herb's family dragged him to, and something in the sermon finally pushed him over the edge until he couldn't stay quiet anymore? Or was he just sitting at work, [[FeelingOppressedByTheirExistence stewing over Croom's unshakeable faith in the unprovable,]] until eventually he just barged into the Reverend's office hours demanding that he make room in his mental universe for doubt? At any rate, the final panel proves that Herb is helpless before [[IceCreamKoan the power of wordplay.]]''

8	->''I really like the emotional journey we get to go on with Killer here. Like, in the first panel, he overhears {{ComicStrip/Beetle\|Bailey}} saying nice things to the chaplain, and he’s like “Oh shit! Is my buddy Beetle actually one of those goody-goody church types? Gross!” But then when he realizes Beetle is [[BaitAndSwitchComment just toying with the chaplain’s emotions,]] he settles into a mood of smug, heavy-lidded sinfulness. “Ahh, yes, less time in church means less time to feel guilty and more time to attack and dethrone God.”''

28	->''"Is that what God does? He helps? Tell me, why didn't God help my innocent friend who died for no reason [[KarmaHoudini while the guilty roam free?]] Okay. Fine. Forget the one offs. How about the countless wars declared in His name? Okay. Fine. Let's skip the random, meaningless murder for a second, shall we? How about the racist, sexist, phobia soup we've all been drowning in because of Him? And I'm not just talking about Jesus. I'm talking about all organized religion. Exclusive groups created to manage control. A dealer getting people hooked on the drug of hope. His followers, nothing but addicts who want their hit of bullshit to keep their dopamine of ignorance. Addicts. Afraid to believe the truth. That there's no order. There's no power. That all religions are just metastasizing mind worms, meant to divide us so it's easier to rule us by the charlatans that wanna run us. All we are to them are paying fanboys of their poorly-written sci-fi franchise. If I don't listen to my imaginary friend, why the fuck should I listen to yours? People think their worship's some key to happiness. That's just how he owns you. Even I'm not crazy enough to believe that distortion of reality. So fuck God. He's not a good enough scapegoat for me."''

59	'''V''': I got no fucking idea what it was, and neither do you.\
60	'''Johnny''': Tell you exactly what brought you back: a clever bit of corpo tech. If there's a true messiah among us, I'll tell you who it is: [[CorruptCorporateExecutive Saburo Arasaka]].\
61	'''V''': Mh-hm, one you'd summarily execute if you ran into him.\
62	'''Johnny''': See, that's why I'm me and you're you. You drop to your knees before gods. I drop ''them'', pop 'em right between the eyes.
