It's Idol Worship this time: The new Chick Tract is out!

[jmowreader]

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1023/1023_01.asp

Contains strong but shrouded anti-Catholic content. (Whenever Chick uses the term "religions," he's talking about the Roman Catholic Church.)

[XemaSab]

1. I resent the implication

that there's anything wrong with praying to birds!

[mr_hat]

2. I'm disappointed. That one was pretty tame.

[jmowreader]

12. Jack vacillates

These tracts come out every six weeks, and he seems to have a rota going.

First he creates a great classic of fundamentalist paranoia.

Next he creates something totally lame, like this one is.

And next he puts out another classic.

So give him time. He'll be back to fundie paranoia before you know it.

[NoPasaran]

25. Yeah, and I've seen better artwork in "Dilbert" n/t

[trotsky]

3. He gets more hateful and more whacked out with each one.

What the hell is the point of the kid taking a hair from the old guy's head?!?

[4_Legs_Good]

14. The sub plot is totally lost on me

What's the deal with the old guy in the museum. And what the hell kinda curator is that anyway?

[Enraged_Ape]

22. Yeah, I didn't get the kid and the old man's "hair" thing at all

WTF was that all about? Was that supposed to be "comic relief"? Why would a kid steal a hair off an old man's head?

:shrug:

[AntiCoup2K4]

27. Probably going to make a voodoo doll with it.

Jack's planning for his next tract already.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. Memo to Zuni: you're slacking. (nt)

[ghostsofgiants]

5. That dude is seriously delusional

[Orsino]

6. He *almost* gets it.

he says that every religion in the world that uses idols is actually the same faith--just in different guises. He even gets as far as identifying the crucifix as ephemeral to real faith.

He's soooooooooooo close. He's almost there.

[noonwitch]

7. What is his obsession with Semiramis?

All the years I read up on and practiced Wicca and Goddess-worship in general, I had never heard of Semiramis. Ishtar and Astarte were the middle eastern Goddess names I had heard of.

Anyways, I love the Chick tracks, they are so fun.

[trotsky]

15. Old myths like that make Xians like Chick very nervous.

It's uncomfortable for them to think that their religion grew out of other beliefs common at the time, so a way to rationalize this is to claim that Satan knew the "true" church was coming, and planted seeds of false religion to try and fool its supporters.

[ole_evil_eye]

19. don't know the God Ishtar

heard it was a pretty awful movie though

still...best chick tract has to be about Sodom and Gomorrha

[no name no slogan]

8. Now I have the theme for Sunday's sermon

[jmowreader]

10. I wonder if the Church Sign Generator people know...

just how much pleasure they've given the American left over the years.

That thing is fun, man!

[Fenris]

9. Jack Chick's Christianity is the most boring, uninspired religion ever.

His faceless God, his hatred of "idols" and any ritual whatsoever...it's all very unimaginative.

[4_Legs_Good]

13. That's a great point.

1/2 the fun of religion is the tradition and ritual. Does he really think God wants us to be bored off our asses?

:)

[mr blur]

11. Why is the hysterical Fundie obviously a transvestite?

Do you think this moron Chick gets off on that kind of thing? Or maybe he really just can't draw very well.

(NB, I have nothing at all against transvestites. And I know some - but none of them is a religious lunatic)

16. Scientific Errors in the Quaran

Best Chick Essay Ever.

Scientific Errors In The Qur'an

by Robert A. Morey
© 1996 Research and Education Foundation

If the Qur'an is the infallible Word of God, then it stands to reason that it would not contain factual errors of science. By "factual errors" we mean errors that can be physically examined. We are not talking about contradictions between scientific theories and the Qur'an. We are talking about hard evidence that can be checked out.

(/snip) oh right, let's test the old testament, shall we?

17. OMG...I just found The Best Chick Tract Ever!

18. Chicks Assumption of the world

is that all people are as gullible as he and his hateful flock of sheep.

This track shows it.

[jmowreader]

21. You haven't seen the "what happens to Chick Tracts" page?

http://www.chick.com/articles/testimonies/

These are all supposedly from people who found Jesus through reading Chick Tracts.

I found this great Chick tract through reading the Testimonies:

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0004/0004_01.asp

Oh Gawd this guy is crazier than a shithouse rat....

[YOY]

24. Know about that for years...try the parodies

http://www.weirdcrap.com/chick/intro.html

Making light of scaaaaary people.

[TimeChaser]

20. Am I the only one who finds this track really, really offensive?

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1710/1710_01.asp

[Enraged_Ape]

23. That is just...just...

...fucked up.

WTF is General Custer doing standing in the midst of all those Indians?

And why Indians?

[AntiCoup2K4]

28. What the Fucking Hell? When did the KKK start publishing Chick tracts?

Could that one be more blatantly racist? And one of the "smelly injuns" even has a bottle of "fire water".

How does Jack follow that one? Maybe a tract about African Americans portraying them as "still in slavery" without his mutant faceless "God"?

I never did get what was up with that anyway.

[gollygee]

26. Why don't they place this opinion on things like 10 commandment statues

or laws against flag burning? They feel perfectly free to worship a picture of Jesus (or some white guy playing Jesus) on a school wall, or a 10 commandment statue, or a flag.

Hypocrites.
