Want to be scared by vile Christian brainwashing filth?
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0900/0900_01.asp

This Jack Chick guy is some nutcase. Read this comic. It's funny, but it's actually meant to be quite serious. That's the :scared: part.

3. ROFLMAO, I LOVE Chick Tracts
They're just so ridiculous!

Years ago, I did janatorial work in an airport and hundreds of Chick Tracts were left in the lobby every week. Must've been because those little Chick Tracts disappeared so quickly in that airport.

Of course, every last one of them went into the trash.

32. OK, I've waited long enough
WTH does ROFLMAO mean? All I can think of is 'rolling on floor laughing my ass off". I'm pretty sure I got the last 4 words, but what are the first 3?

Thanks.

6. Finally found one recently
I've known about Chick tracts for years but I never saw one until a few weeks ago I found one in the men's room of the restaurant I was in.

Ironically it was an Italian place, which means the people who own it are most likely Jack Chick's public enemy #1 (Catholic).

35. HAHAH that MST3K one is terrific!
I love them! And I love the way they caught some stuff I've noticed too, that in Chick tracts, women are always evil or lost and need to be saved by men (except for the nauseatingly pure little Suzy. Guess she's ok, she hasn't "blossomed" sexually yet. If you know what I mean.)

and then, this, which was just PERFECT:

All: Hallelujah!
Tom: Can I get an Amen!
Crow: You know this is the type of attitude that is going to get her married to an abusive trucker named Earl right out of High School.

MST3K Rules!

11. It's easy to understand. A fanatic, is a fanatic is a fanatic. What does
it matter what title, rationalization, or set of beliefs they come with. They have one goal. To make you see things their way. By law if necessary.

Many sects will let it go if you don't want to be bothered and they'll move on to the next person. But Bush (and his so called reelection) has turned loose the Falwell/Roberston/Dobson lunatics and provided them with the absolute certainty that they're right and the rest of us are wrong.

These people are, not only dangerous to your health, they are a threat to the very survival on this planet of you and yours.

Extreme? Check out the Crusades and the Inquisition and the Salem witch trials. These people never go away. Nor will their venom, hatred and self-righteousness.

12. Funny.
Edited on Mon Dec-06-04 05:42 PM by Kingshakabobo
I like to watch Robert Tillman on cable for hours at a time.
You know, the slick character with slicked back gray hair asking his people to "make a vow AND PAY ON IT". Then he speaks in tounges...asada badada labenga. Comedy at it's best.

I should be careful. I might watch too much and turn. I've seen it happen. Kinda like in "The Omega Man".

Never seen Chick Tracks....guess I don't get out enough.

16. Tilton. He used to send me crap like "prayer cloths"...
He always bragged how he kept people's "prayer requests", & pray over them every day. A few years ago someone found thousands of them in the trash...forget all the details but it was a humorous scandal.

Reminds me of the Peter Popoff scandal when the "Amazing Randy" busted him on the Carson show using a hidden microphone to get signals "from above" regarding show participants name, address, ailments before he "healed" them.

Hmmm, hidden earpieces. Link includes video of Popoff getting busted when his feed is picked up. LOL I forgot about this.

He is the most published person in the world. Each one of those tracts counts as a publication.

17. So, each one is a publication,,,
therefore he makes money on each one? Does he charge for them? Is he just another scum who gets rich off of the weakness of others? Is he teaching people to litter by dumping thousands of pamphlets across the country?
I remember reading "This Was Your Life" when I was younger. Maybe I didn't read it enough times, it had no effect on me. :crazy: This reminds me of the immigrants in Las Vegas who are given jobs distributing ads for porn on the streets. You'll see 15 people (kids, women, teens, seniors) standing in a row as you approach. The first guy flicks a card in your face with a snap. When you ignore him, the next guy does the same. And the next, and the next. By the time you get to the last guy in the line you're thinking "I ignored the other 14, what makes you think I'll take this card from you?" Then you see thousands of discarded cards laying in the street. Jeez.

22. Yeah, he charges for them
You're supposed to use them as an easy way to witness to people - hand them out or leave them in public places. The latest anti-Halloween one was somewhat clever in that Little Suzie or whatever gets the bright idea of handing out bags of treats to the Trick-Or-Treaters that contain a "religious tract" in them so she can save the kids in the Blue's Clues costumes from eternal damnation for celebrating Samhain or whatever. She suggests to a friend that she can do it as well - hint, hint, hint - buy some Chick Tracts for Halloween - hint, hint, hint.

I first ran into them in grad school in tthe mid-90s. I had gone to Chicago to go to the Hispanic Leadership Conference, and there were a bunch of Chick's anti-Catholic tracts lying around the lobbies of the hotel.

18. So let me get this straight...
We should pass out Chick Tracts because that's how the communists brainwashed people and it worked so well for them?

Amazing how this guy's mind works. That's why his comics are so funny.

37. Hey, why is this a problem?
there's been many a time I wished I could have found any
paper at all in a public restroom. And at 14 cents a sheet, er,
I mean each, I would have considered it a blessing at the time.
