"As it turned out, I was in the group that received nothing but a placebo the whole time."
Atheists are not ashamed of their “deity” because to atheists there is no such thing as a deity let alone “satan”. Just because someone doesn’t believe in one thing does not mean they automatically believe in another/opposite. Maybe “Satan” told you it does but it’s just not true and if people spent more time trying to understand, to actually comprehend, they wouldn’t make such dismissive yet utterly mistaken statements.
My commentary on this comic, is that is the result of the current US healthcare. You “take yer chances” and the chances are not all that good, even if you do get the frankly poisonous/toxic non-placebo that is being given to counter the poison/toxins that caused the illnesses to begin with.
Good healthcare begins with taking care of yourself and the environment you and your food is grown in before you get to the placebo (or not) stage (since counter-medical is not affordable… or even effective).
So maybe pharmaceutical companies are the devil and corporations/capitalism are the gateway to hell.
