Explanation
This comic tackles the classic theological and philosophical question of why bad things happen to good people (the problem of theodicy) through a darkly comedic lens. God is asked directly why bad things happen to good people, and responds by telling the questioner to "hold up" and "leave the lid off" while he finishes something.
God explains his sorting method: normally things get sorted so good people are roughly rewarded and bad people roughly punished, and it works "fine." But the questioner pushes further, asking about edge cases -- people who are "pretty" good or those with "ambiguous" moral standing. God admits that for such cases, he runs a "mercy" procedure where he pushes them "into the good pile" since they'll be "at ease."
Then comes the twist: for the truly hard edge cases, like people who were "too nice" but "weren't truly good," God reveals he runs them through a "mercy deciderer" and pushes them into the "too good" pile. When asked if they'll be sluggish, God flatly states "They shall be slugs again."
The humor operates on multiple levels. It reduces the grand philosophical problem of evil to a mundane sorting exercise, like sorting laundry or paperwork. God is depicted not as omniscient and purposeful but as someone running a clunky bureaucratic system with edge cases he hasn't fully thought through. The punchline about becoming slugs is an absurd non-sequitur that undermines any expectation of a satisfying theological answer, which is itself the joke -- the problem of evil has no neat resolution, so why not slugs?
