Guys, a Christian religious group isn't Protestant simply because it is not in union with the Catholic or Orthodox Churches. The SSPX isn't Protestant. The sole characteristic that all Protestant communities have in common is the denial that there is a specific worldly institution that can be identified as the Church that Christ established. The SSPX doesn't believe that; it does believe that the Catholic Church was established by Christ, but that there is a grave dereliction of duty by the current hierarchy. The SSPX isn't Protestant. The Jehovah's Witnesses are not Protestant. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints are not Protestant. They all believe that there is an institution that is to be rightfully identified as Christ's visible Church on earth.

I cracked into an old USB trying to give my friend some pirated anime episodes and stumbled upon a clutch of not just my old high school fanfiction, but that time I did a photocomic for a class project because I was really into @waywardmartian's Insecticomics at the time and thought they were the height of humor.

So please enjoy 16 year old Squid's shitty digital camera and MS Paint skills as robot Lutherscream defies Vector Pope to nail his theses to a very large door.

I also found the Industrial Reformation one but I think it may be missing a scene or two.
