Chick tract morality

Post by weemadando »

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0006/0006_01.asp

Though the actions of this woman won't really surprise anyone do you think its strange that she just says: "Jesus loves you" and "I'll go for help", rather than actually directly helping the kid?

I mean c'mon, whats that saying - that we should ignore the critically wounded person, tell them Jesus loves them, call an ambulance on a cell phone and leave them lying in the middle of the road as another wave of traffic comes down?

Chalk up another victory for questionable quasi-Christian morality.

OK, I gathered from that that its better if someone dies alone in a gutter than getting medical attention and carrying on with their life. Ok. Whatever, Mr. Chick.

I don't think that guy wants anybody to think at all.

It probably makes him jealous.

We need to make a Chick Tract. I nominate "A Trip to the Sci-fi Covention"
"The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own. Naturally, it may be used by evil men for evil purposes, but there are more good men than evil, and while the latter cannot be persuaded to the path of righteousness by propaganda, they can certainly be corrected by good men with rifles."

That would be quite funny, but again, we don't want to give him ideas now do we? The last thing we need is a "Star Wars is the work of the Devil" Chick tract.

I could just see this nut saying that the Jedi are Satan's minions... :roll:
"I want to mow down a bunch of motherfuckers with absurdly large weapons and relative impunity - preferably in and around a skyscraper. Then I want to fight a grim battle against the unlikely duo of the Terminator and Robocop.

I say it was a failed Rabid Trekkie conspiracy into wrecking the franchise. Failed because they left out the part where the ISD is desroyed in one shot by the Enterprise, and Jar-Jar Binks appealed especially to little kids and morons.

Basically, I linked to a page which compare "The Force" with God. Of course, the "similarities" were tenuous at best...

akin to August Derleth's attempts to equate Lovecraftian deities Nyarlathotep and Lord Nodens with Satan and God, respectively.

Look at my sig.
Realize that Jack Chick actually has negative brain mass. People in his general area actually become drooling morons, just by his presence. How else could he sell tracts.
As for this tract, I love the use of magic. I mean, I use magic all the time as well cause I am evil and play D&D. :roll:

The ideas suggested by that tract are disgusting enough that it isn't funny. Not that Jack Chick doesn't deserve mockery...

If he has negative brain mass, does it mean we can use it as a neverending power source?

Sorry, all the power is currently used to run the space heaters that keep hell from freezing over.
Now the cubs just have to win the world series with a 7th game grand slam in the ninth that beens chick in the head and kills him.
Then my pigs will fly and I will get a lot of pussy. :lol:
