Chick publications, spreading the hate....

Was out & about Saturday when a jogger handed me a tract. I finally read it today. I was disgusted. It was in comic strip form. It informed that Catholics aren't Christians one of the reasons being that they elevated Mary to adoration status. Also was that it has a hierarchy that included Nuns, Priests leading to the leader, the Pope. It also showed that the Catholic church steals money from its believers.

Having piqued my interest I went to the publishers website. I started looking at the tracts & lies it is publishing. I learned the following:

1. Muslims within the next couple years will have their flag flying over the White House. Muslims must accept Jesus.

2. Native Americans must stop their Native American beliefs and Accept Jesus.

3. You are not born as a gay individual, you become gay because a gay person raped you. You must stop being gay and accept Jesus.

4. You must stop celebrating Halloween and accept Jesus.

There were lots of others, but the further I went the angrier & sicker I got.

FYI: their web site is chick.com

They're also excellent primers on the evangelical outlook.

Look for Bible Reloaded. They do "dramatic readings" of Chick Tracts, giving them the respect they deserve. Start with, "Dark Dungeons." They're hilarious.

They act out Chick tracts, and they are absolutely hilarious. Chick is dead, and honestly those dumb tracts are so absurd and out of date (technologically speaking) that I am surprised that anyone -- a jogger?! -- is passing them out (another reason not to accept things from people trying to hand out random nonsense).
