Your opinion of Jack Chick?

[??????????]

J.J. and Trederick. Their is nothing particularly wrong with those tracks if one isn't a Christian in name only. I very much agree with the one you posted Trederick.

[John Dibble]

He would make an excellent meal for a lion.

You do realize that Christianity only spread to what it is today because an idiot Roman Emperor(Nero I believe) martyred them, aren't you? Their refusal to give up their faith even upon pain of gruesome death only managed to inspire people into converting. Your plan would have the same result.

No, the problem was that the Romans stopped feeding the little monsters to the lions. 

Which would have eventually caused enough converts for an uprising.

Well, better to go down defending one's principles than to give in to this sort of thing.

Wrong - it's extremely stupid to cause an uprising in the first place. If they had simply ignored the Christians rather than trying to use them as a scapegoat then Christianity would likely have not become anything more than a minor cult.

And yet, they were not a scapegoat - look at what a horror christianity has turned out to be!  The Romans knew what sort of monstrous thing they were dealing with.  They tried their best, and should be honored for it.  Which is why I would like to emulate their colourful methods of dealing with this insidious threat.

No moron, learn some history - they were using them as a scapegoat plain and simple, no other reason. Nero was killing Christians much for the same reasons Hitler was killing Jews - to distract the people from the true causes of their problems. For Hitler, it was the economic depression in Germany caused by post WWI policies, and for Nero it was a great fire that destroyed a lot of the city among other things. Both were blamed on a minority group because that minority wasn't seen as having the means of fighting back. The end result of Nero's campaign against the Christians was more Christians - it didn't work, so get it through your thick skull already.

So do I. States, when shall we begin the stonings of the gays, adulters, Atheists, theifs, etc.? After all, 6,000 years isn't much time to stone them all.

Such laws do not apply to Christians.

Yes, I agree that this is the theologically correct view. Colossians 2:14 says that the ceremonial and civil ordinances were "blotted out," and that Jesus died "nailing it to his cross."

However, while these ceremonial and civil ordinances were supposedly "nailed to the cross," the fundamental moral law was not (if my knowledge of theology is correct). Thus, the prohibitions of Exodus 20 still apply. For example, while robbery is not supposed to be punishable by stoning, "Thou shalt not steal."

It is not appropriate to engage in auto-eroticism asphyxiation when you realize that your professors are lying scum.

...but it's so much fun

If she was so easily convinced by some guy with a book of fairy tales that she'd been lied to, then what the hell was she doing in college anyway?

Buddha told her to go when she was tripping on acid.

another panel from the tract Chick posted:



OMG, Chick actually believes those ages listed in the Old Testament are literal and using a year as long as one today? Wow.

Not to mention this kind of contradicts his claim the earth is only 6000 years old, since the Earth would've only existed for 1600 years at the time when he claims the flood happened. Yet I bet if you look up those Old Testament family trees you'll find out they last longer than 1600 years using the literal years.

Not to mention no person could live to be 900 with all the perfect weather conditions in the world.

The dumbest thing about Chick tracts is I can not even see them converting anyone, because as Gabu pointed out almost every one uses some sort of strawman, the D&D one being most obvious. Since anyone who has played D&D knows that tract has no clue what it's like, they'll easily reject it as the trash that it is.

Guess Noah missed a few animals before that there flood, LOL.

I agree with you on this. This is my basis on how I believe and many reasons why I think the more devout members of Christianity are wrong.

This is explained in the bible. The book of Job also describes animals with tree trunk like tails. Does any modern animal you think of have such tails? No.

[PBrunsel]

Even as a Prohibitionist Quaker I can't find Mr. Chick's comics, well, completely sane. I'll probabaly have nightmares from most of them now.

I agree. Plus, the other people always say stuff like "THERE IS NO GOD", then he says "Well, the Bible says (insert Biblical text here)", and they say "OH, FORGIVE ME LORD, FOR I HAVE SINNED *SOB*".

[12th Doctor]

Yes, some of Chick's stuff is easy to dismiss out of hand, but since his best selling tracts are the anti-Catholic ones, which comprise about 90% of all his work....

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

90%? Hardly. Go look at the tract index and count up how many. It's not even half.

Most of them are just the standard tripe of a person involved in some "bad" lifestyle, coupled with a strawman (such as that preaching against homosexuality in public will get you arrested and beaten, all the nonsense in the D&D one or that kids aren't allowed to say Thanksgiving or Christmas in school), that person runs into the standard Wise Christian Person, that person tells them all about Jesus (going on the idea that somehow in this society only fundamentalists know who Jesus is, not likely) and some Bible verses, then at the end they basically start praying "OH FORGIVE ME LORD, I SINNED" and then get "born again" and "saved." The end.

Almost lal of his tracts make reference to the Catholic Church, even if that is not what they are pricipally about, if you acctually go through one by one.

And, it is a fact that his ones that are focused on anti-Catholicism sell 10x better than all the other ones combined.  I looked it up for a report I did on, what else, anti-Catholisicm, some years back.

[falling apart like the ashes of American flags]

I've never seen one make any references to the Catholic church that was not principally about it.

Depends on the size of the tree we're talking about, but at least a couple come to mind:

States, do you really think that there is a satantic cult behind spring break, or Mardi Gras?

No, not a particular cult but certainly satanic INFLUENCEs.
