ceremony
Explanation
This single-panel comic depicts what appears to be a dark, occult ritual. Hooded figures in red robes surround an altar where a leader figure raises a ceremonial dagger, with a pentagram visible on the wall behind them. The scene is unmistakably a sinister cult ceremony.
The caption reads: "I don't know if I'm really a believer, but I love the sense of community." This joke applies the common refrain heard from casual churchgoers -- people who attend religious services not out of deep faith but for the social aspects and sense of belonging -- to a Satanic cult. The humor comes from the absurd contrast between the horrifying ritual and the mundane, relatable sentiment. It satirizes how "community" has become the go-to justification for religious participation, taken to its logical extreme: even literal devil worship is fine if the vibes are good and you've made friends there.
