Here Chick goes again

OMFG!!!
This is one DUMB fucker!
The one about Allah != Judeo-Christian God. By that same vein of logic all Christians should celebrate passover and Chanukah and not have a Rabbit as the mascot of Easter. First cognitive dissonance: Muslims do worship, at least respect, Christianity, to the point that they pray to the Virgin Mary. Second: If Muslims are so unknowledgible of the Bible, why the fuck did he have the Muslim citing Luke!
I love that "I'm not afraid of you...Because Jesus loves me!" line, it's hilarious. No, little girl, Jesus hates you because you aren't a semite.

Two more big mistakes(in Chick's Q&A section):

Why do you discontinue some tract titles?

Because Christians are not using them as much as other titles.

The web master assumes that only christians read the site, this thread, and the replies demanding immediate vivisection(Centauri style) for Chick, is proof that Athiests not only read his work but want to have him vaporised by fleets of ISDs and Shadow Warships(Jesus may love you, but jesus can't stop a battlecrab).

Number Two:

How tragic it would be to just stand idly by and let people go to hell

This one makes me ANGRY AS ALL FUCK. Read Chinua Achebe to see how Christians "help" people. Or watch the movie "Rabbit Proof Fence," about how they were helping people in Australia!
This is the CENTER of xenophobic christian doctrine. "We don't want to destroy their culture, we just want to (destroy the devil's influence, SAVE them from hell, teach them of Jesus, etc.)" This very reasoning was the justification of European-Centric Imperialism for >150 years!

I'm confident that was the same excuse they used during the Crusades and Inquisistions.

Jehovah can't even stop an Iorn chariot (book of judges) he hasn't a prayer against a battlecrab, or a romulan warbird, or any major scifi warship.

I think even the Pope would be sickened to learn of Jack Chick.

Hmm, while reading this I listen to a song that applies to this it was called: Kill Again. A fitting song to listen to when reading any thing by Chick.

Well of course he would - have you not seen the 'Are Roman Catholics Christians' tract?

That means that Chick is angry at the Pope. It does not necessarily mean that the Pope would be sickened over Chick's writings. I don't know him, but the Pope strikes me as the forgiving type.

IMO Chick is funnier than Arminius. And that's saying something.

Perhaps, but Arminius is just as dumb.

If memory serves the pope acknowledged and accepted evolution as fact, something that probably made all sorts of fundies angry.

The Pope wrote: [M]y predecessor Pius XII had already stated that there was no opposition between evolution and the doctrine of the faith about man and his vocation...Today, almost half a century after the publication of the Encyclical, new knowledge has led to the recognition in the theory of evolution of more than a hypothesis. It is indeed remarkable that this theory has been progressively accepted by researchers, following a series of discoveries in various fields of knowledge. The convergence, neither sought nor fabricated, of the results of work that was conducted independently is in itself a significant argument in favor of this theory.

However, he doesn't accept blind materialism as a philosophy...

theories of evolution which, in accordance with the philosophies inspiring them, consider the mind as emerging from the forces of living matter, or as a mere epiphenomenon of this matter, are incompatible with the truth about man. Nor are they able to ground the dignity of the person

Browsed the tract list, and under the discontinued part, found this little gem of intelligence:

Gomez is Coming
Gomez is an imprisoned gang leader. Before he is to be released, his kid brother is killed in a drive-by shooting. Everyone expects Gomez to get revenge, but a chaplain leads him to Christ. In a surprise ending, Gomez forgives the killer.

I sure am surprised.

actually, if everyone become chick christians, it would be pretty cool. I could do absolutely *anything* and no one would press charges.

I'm not suprised. Just about every Chick tract ends with one of the characters "finding Christ', and turning into perfect fundie Christians, regardless of the odds.

I would not expect him to, he is a catholic(to cite the oldest joke in the bible next to the one where three rabbis walk into a bar...), thus fully engulfed in the whole realm of angels, saints, martyrs, and the like. Thus an "Involved God" christian and not a materialist. Though I may have your meaning incorrect.

What made me laugh was he told us the entire surprise ending. The full monty.

No, you're right, I was merely pointing that out, to show that he doesn't take evolution to be a proof of materialism (due to his religious beliefs). Actually, I find it rather ironic that evolution is an officially accepted theory by the Catholic Church, yet many others have the knee-jerk rejection spasm. Maybe the Vatican's not quite so reactionary after all. Now if only they'd let the priests marry so this whole sex scandal thing would not be as big a problem (would probably still happen on occasion, but not to the same extent).
