So when I started this comic, I realized being honest with my sense of humor was really one of the main reasons I was becoming successful. I’m crude, a bit pervy and like to push buttons. I embraced that and have felt good about it. I’m truly embracing myself for the first time ever.

By growing up conservatively, this is the the first time my family seeing this side of me. I’ve always had tendencies to be on the fringe of their beliefs but this is a whole new level. Recently I had a family member ask me to read a religious commentary and I said no. Their retort was “well, I figured since you have so much time for your *smut* comic, you could spare a minute for God”.


For fucks sake. I’m not hurting anyone, I’m happy doing what I’m doing and you pushing your religion on me only makes me want nothing to do with it EVEN MORE. (Those who do believe, I have nothing against that and commend you. My life experiences have just led me to another path...but I cannot stand when people belittle others for different beliefs)


This whole thing happened a couple days ago but has been weighing on my mind. I’m not looking for sympathy, I’m just agitated by it. I guess if anything is to come of this it would be, ignore the haters and enjoy what you do.

One of my sisters condemns me for my atheism. She cannot understand how anyone could ‘turn their back on god”. Needless to say , we no longer spend much time together. It is what it is.

That really sucks... I’ve only recently “come out” to my family about being atheist. Currently, they think I’m agnostic but I’m being more forward about my absence of faith. Since then, certain people have tried to push religion on me back handedly. In my mind, I think what if I gave them scientific information that lends to disprove religion? I could never do that. Because religion can do so much for people who need it.

That really sucks, considering that your comics don't hurt anyone as you said and are even a relief for some, a source of a good laugh after a rough day. Maybe the humor is "pervy" or whatever but then again it's not harmful to anyone. I've had a few arguments with my mother before for being agnostic and I know that it can leave you troubled. Just keep doing what you love because people are always going to complain anyway. Stay strong!

Religion should be like your willy or pussy, it’s great to have it, but keep it private and don’t be getting it out in public and showing it around yeah 👍🏻

Yeah, I’m in a similar situation. You’ve got the right attitude: you do you. If they can’t appreciate that then that’s their flaw, not yours.

Ugh. I’m sorry. I was raised suuuuuuper religiously/conservative too and it sometimes feels like none of my family gets who I really am. It can be hard to say “fuck the haters” when they’re the people who should be supporting you unconditionally. I think you’re doing something really brave and you’ve got a badass sense of humor that a lot of people really fucking love. Keep on doing you, RedDot. ❤️❤️

You guys are all so great. I'm glad I'm not the only one that has had this kind of situation. Love you all!

New to Patreon so I just saw this, but I feel this. I’m not atheist by any means, but I’m pretty private about my beliefs to god and prayer. I respect those who can be totally dedicated to the religion, it just gets out of hand when they try to judge others that aren’t harming anyone. I hope you find a way to get through your family things. My extended family judges me and my immediate family sometimes for our inconsistency at church, tattoos, drinking, etc. you do you, your comics are funny AF
