According to Supersoulty, the vast majority of people believe Jack Chick. What idiocy. I vote option 2.

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Chick

Jack Thomas Chick (born April 13, 1924) of Chick Publications is a comic book artist and publisher. He is known for his controversial comic-style tracts and larger comic books for the purpose of Christian evangelism from a fundamentalist point of view. Chick is an Independent Baptist, a dispensationalist, follower of the King James Only Movement, and an opponent of the Catholic Church (See also: Anti-Catholic)

He's quite famous for this tract.

For the record, I voted 'loon'.

That really was hilarious to read.  The best part was that it even had girls playing Dungeons & Dragons.  What a loon.

Yes, a good deal of his tracts are filled with misinformation. For instance, he seems to think you can get flogged for preaching Christianity in a Buddhist temple, and that the Catholic Church created Islam or some such rot.

Lots of people also think Elvis is alive and the moon landing was faked.  Big deal.

The entire content of the Chick tracts are situations set up specifically such that Chick's views on life are rendered correct.  Almost every tract (and especially stuff like this crap) is one giant straw man fallacy where he presents what he wishes the opposition's arguments were and then refutes them.

I never heard of him, so I voted #3, but after reading that comic strip about D& D, I'd vote #2. The comic was alright until that man showed up and stared talking about "praying and fasting". What a load of horse****

If you've read that one, you gotta read this parody of it.

That BS is probably the best example of religious propaganda I've ever seen, for the reasons Gabu stated.

Oh, yes, I've seen the goth tract as well as the Chtulhu parody. Smiley

I played D&D for years.  My freinds never taught me real magic.

Conclusion: I have defective friends.

Something obviously went wrong.  Apparently if you play D&D you get invited into Satanic cults, learn mind control tricks to play on your family members, and also get a botched face lift:

When I first saw the name, I thought that "Jack Chick" was a drag queen, transvestite, stripper, or someone similar.

You've said that you're Catholic. You obviously haven't read too many of his tracts.

Once again, you heard what you wanted to hear, which was not what I said.  I said:



Though Chicks claims are very extreme and many would find trouble agreeing with him, in full, many of his claims are believed, in some form or another, even if not as extreme, by a large section of the population.

I love how I can't seem to say anything regarding faith issues without it being misrepresented by you.  Moreover, you won't come and fight me with a direct response, but rather take your mischarecterizations to the forum as a whole in a cheap and gutless attemp to defame me.  Bravo, well done.
