The creator of these comics is a Christian, with the message of them being a Christian message/allegory.
The message here is that if you disconnect yourself from God and try to live independent from God, you lose your purpose and/or are helpless to fulfill your "true purpose" (which, to a Christian, "true purpose" = serving/following God).
That said: I'd strongly suggest that people stop posting these comics and giving this guy attention. They're meant for Christians and are not really relevant to people outside of that.
EDIT: I made a (regrettable) visit to the website to satisfy my curiosity and found the title & description:
Absolute Freedom – God (in control of all things) gives us freedom to choose what to do, but we don't get to choose the outcome.
Make of that what you will.
DIVINE LINK SEVERED
YOU ARE A FLESH AUTOMATON
ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL
The puppeteer can make you cut your own ties at any time and leave you in a ditch 'cause you were kept a dependent weakling. The author is accidentally promoting self reliance, because that interpretation is not allowed to him or his public. Stupid comics.
I guess that explains the way they watermarked it.
Why do these keep getting posted? The original artist is not a good guy.
Mockery mostly
They trying to say that you are dependent on the control of others and incapable of functioning on your own free will? Because fuck that.
Worse, it's an allegory for losing your faith in God. I visited the website and it's full of comics with similar messages. If you value your sanity, I suggest you stay away from the website.
Have you never heard the term "no man is an island"?
We all need community, we don’t need to silently obey our overlord puppeteers
its the bicycle fall meme in another theme
With some potentially gross political implications.
That was my initial read of the comic. "Nooo, don't cut off the puppetmasters, we need them because we have no agency of our own"
If I recall correctly, Jonathan M Lam is a right wing very Christian cartoonist.
So in that context, God gave free will, the free will enables you to cut anything that ties you down, but, even the hand you use to cut yourself free, was controlled by God to begin with.
And once completely removed from God, you "insert some Christian bullshit".
Having free will doesn't mean you should use it bullshit.
Same old bullshit.
Yeah it's basically that.
given the 'atm robber comic' from the same cartoonist recently posted, i am guessing that it's somehow meant to represent becoming an atheist. you reject the strings of god and it makes you bad at dancing.
Weird, I feel much more free and in control since I am responsible for my actions instead of god
So that must mean that George Michael is an atheist because he's never going to dance again since guilty feet have got no rhythm
I don't like the government controlling me!

My favorite Deltarune boss!
Must say that I liked most (not all) Undertale bosses better than the Deltarune bosses (so far)
It pulls the strings and makes them ring.
The stage lights are shattered.
Spamton EX has left the chat
All the strings are loose and she's dancing perfectly fine and she's happy. But when she cuts those strings, which clearly weren't actually doing anything, she falls apart. So she needs that support even if it is mostly just for show.
This is a much better metaphor than what the author explained it as.
I literally saw no Deltarune reference. I am disappointed.
holy guacamole spamton g spamton
