I hate to say it Twack, but I do agree with your parents and with what blindfaith^_^ has said.
I've read Oh My Gods! and while they've had a few good and original jokes, I find most of the material relies on bad stereotypes. Is that really how you want to portray yourself? You want the freedom to express your beliefs, but those comics, especially the ones you've selected, make fun of Christians, and that's simply not cool. It's disrespectful, and your parents are trying to keep you from getting into trouble at school. It's going to take one student to see that and get upset, go home and tell their parents and you'll have a whole world of trouble. Just because you wanted to get in a dig. It could lead to you being expelled from school, and if you think you're parents are giving you a hard time now, just wait until it hits the fan.
Honestly, not they're not saying to remove the comics to try and repress you; they have your best interest in mind. They can simply see a little bit more into the situation than you can right now; age brings perspective, and when you're as old as they are, you'll see how foolishly rebellious it was. And as a Pagan, who plans on being a Pagan parent one day, I wouldn't let my kids have comics like those on their binders or in their lockers either.

blindfaith^_^ Twack There fine no rules broken, ‘cept my parents and I just now figured out how to open my s**t hole of a locker so there nut up yet, but alls good and I could care if a parent whines about my religion, I'm not their kid or anything... oh and have you guys see the shirt that says "I’m the kid your parents warned you about" I saw a different one it was on some kid at the first day "I’m the Christian Satan warned you about" I was so tempted to say something about how I haven't talked to Satan in ages and how would he know what he had told me but I held my tong fearing the holy water and angry mobs, holy water tastes bad xp See I was more inclined to say that the first comic is offensive and the other two are borderline, but honestly its an attitude like this that makes me think you really shouldn't have those comics on your binder. It's one thing to have something funny on your binder that you and your friends can laugh at and that leaves an opening for explination and learning to others. It is an entirely different matter if you are just trying to cause conflict and upset for the sake of it. That kid with the Christian shirt might be a little geeky, but seriously there isn't anything wrong with making a strong statement about being a good solid Christian. I know several geeky people who are devout Catholics who might wear a shirt like that and if you said something like that to them I would tell you the hell off. Seriously why do people feel the urge to give other religions s**t becasue they don't follow them? It would be like him going up to do and commenting on how all pagans are going to hell because you're wearing a pagan pride button. please just chill im not trying to start an argument and that coment was just to be funny to and yes holy water dose taste bad it's stale, i drank a bottle of it to prove to a friend i wasnt evil, long story,The point of the comics on my binder was to make me stay in a good mood. and it wasn't that i wanted to give him s**t becase of his religon its what the shirt implied that i had talked to satan which ticks me off.

I am plenty calm. What you do and don't do really isn't my business its up to you and your parents.
However, I would disagree about you trying to start an arguement. You must be aware of how Anti-Christian the comics come off, not to say they aren't funny, because they do make me laugh, just I wouldn't throw them out there next to my "Pagan and Proud" sticker as a representation of me and my beliefs. People will react badly and while this does not mean one should immediately not do something, one does have to stop and look at why. If to you the reasoning is stupid thats fine, but know that when you gather others thoughts some of them are destined to be different.
As far as joking, you can see even in a pagan "community" where the majority of us aren't Christian we can not tell (partly from the lack of tone on the interenet) whether or not you are joking and that the combination of the comics and the seemingly Anti-Christian senitments makes you come off looking prejudice. Not to say you are because I's sure that's neither your intention or truth, but is that the image of yourself you want strangers or people who barely know you to walk away with?
