NEW CHICK TRACT!

Post by HemlockGrey »

LMAO! Best line yet- "You're tell me Jesus is God?"

Not quite as offensive as some others, though.

DAMN! You beat me to it! The one line that struck me as Chick trademark was "He should know about hell, Fred. He created it!"

Once again, where is the logic in that? So Jesus came here to save us from the dark place he built to throw us infidels in?

Would it not just save moolah on the heating bill if he just zapped us sinners out of existence?

Of course, that is just my opinion, I could be wrong.

"let Him control and rule your life."

Yup, that's some real good free will right there. :D

But then ask any fundie how God permits bad things to happen, and they will reply that man has free will, and that God will not intervene in the lives of men. And they will tell you this with a straight face. Right after they tell you that God controls even how the leaves fall from the trees. :roll:

Sure, there's no bigotry, but it does have that irritating "Sinner turned Christian after Fundie saves him" plot line that Chick uses in every other tract.

My all-time favorite Chick line: "The Potter books open a doorway that will put untold millions of kids into hell."

I've never understood how they can so easily say that everyone but them will go to hell, while giving no real reason for heaven and hell. They are formless places, that people "go" to after death, and only by "receiving" Jesus into one's heart may one enter heaven.(I've gleaned this from Chick tracts, I've no indoctrination in this horseshit)
No reason is given for this awful dichotomy, that allows evil people into heaven and shuns good people into hell. It's pure, antimeritocratic idiocy.

Another thing: if you're a fundie, HOW CAN YOU KNOW THAT BILLIONS WILL BURN IN HELL WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN INSANE BY IT?!?!? Or maybe they ARE driven insane by it. I don't know. They are stupid. <--Understatement.

Oh boy. Just more proof that Catholics are evil :roll:
I wonder what his reaction will be when he finds out the Pope's chair has an inverted cross on it.

At least the Vatican are smart enough to look at the moral of the story instead of going "OMG IT HAS WITCHCRAFT, WITCHCRAFT IS EVIL, HARRY POTTER IS GOING TO SEND KIDS TO HELL!"

Standard born-again fundy bullshit. Accept (my interpretation of) Jesus and you get a free ticket to heaven. Reject ME and you reject Jesus and you go to hell. Once again, we trash Chick's crap and decied he's an asshole. Nothing new here.

Even I think this tract is ridiculous. Apparently this company thinks corny tracts lead to salvation, and that Jesus just helps.

No surprise that the Pope likes fantasy - after all, Tolkien was a Catholic so all fantasy possibly gets his blessing, unless it's explicitly anti-Christian.
