Yeah, that strip was a really thought-provoking comment on religion and human nature, and I sort of expect Rich's story to follow up on it- after all, he's created the Snarl, which is a way for people in his universe to die permanently, with no reward or punishment in any afterlife. It'll be interesting to see if Roy's views change if/when the Snarl becomes a threat, and he possibly finds that someone needs to take some sort of risk that could end in their permanent undoing.

Hmm... I have to say, I am always a little put off when real-world religion (or references to it) leak into webcomics, machinima etc. But in all honesty, Rich was pretty good in getting his idea across.
