The Little Bride (http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1054/1054_01.asp)

Now, you're probably saying to yourself, "what's so new about this? Jack Chick's been doing this for years."

Well, after reading this one, I'm 100% convinced old Jack is insane. He doesn't even try to hide his distaste for other religions in this one. Before, he used to just amuse me. Now he scares the shit out of me.

WOW!!! that is some seriously fucked up shit. I like the grandpa with the eye patch. I agree that chick guy has gone nuts. I always read the ones on haloween because they were funny, but that one is just disturbing.

The man is ridiculous. I don't even want to start to point of all of the hypocracies.

Do any churches actualy endorce his work or is it just the break away fundies that distribute them? My two favorites tracts are the ones that say that trick or treating will get you sent to Hell and the other one that says that mass murderers can be forgiven.

Some of his tracts are reely good, some are flipping mental...

THIS ONE WELL ITS JUST FUNNY.

That is the most hypocritical site I have ever seen.

That site really pisses me off.

Whats funny is that he separates G-d and Jesus meaning that he endorses polytheism and therefore has sinned by worshipping a false idol... stupid, fucking people.

I knew it wasnt going to be good when he said, "The man who set it up....".

I thought it was going to be a funny Maddox-like parody of religious propaganda.

I ended up chewing my nails.

Ha ha ha!

I've been enjoying myself with these tracts before, but this is bad shit...

Is that Chick guy really ignorant or is he a plain idiot? I'd opt for the idiot as the anti-evolution tract is filled with old arguments and flaws and it contains even completely ignorance of physics...

Nah... I like religious tracts, I just hope they'd get more interesting/challenging and would contain some real new ideas to think...

Maybe Chick should start making Christian Existential Phenomenological tracts http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif (http://www.totse.com/bbs/smile.gif)

Heh... It's actually pretty funny, but when it starts talking about how God created dinosaurs and Adam and Eve, it gets really crappy.

It should've ended at where she talks about all the faults of Islam.

I really liked the point she brought up about Allah being a moon God.

After reading may of his tracts I am going with both. Ignorance alone can not be responcible for stuff like that.

I don't know why you guys are being so rediculous. Islam is a serious problem. Mohammed is flying planes into our buildings and sending us anthrax to our government buildings.

If Jesus doesn't stop the spread of the war-loving camel-fucker religion, there will be nothing left.

The only thing I gotta give Chick credit for, is that he cites just about every claim that he makes. Especially when it comes to scripture (no matter who's scripture it is).

that was hilarious... very subtle the way the muslim mom says 'we have to go to the airport... right now.'

Does anyone wonder why the Grandpa has an eyepatch?

Bat. Shit. Fucking. Insane.

Yeah, I was wondering what was up with that. I mean, is Chick trying to imply that they're fleeing the FBI and CIA and need to get the hell out of Dodge?

He lost it fighting Heathens all across the globe.

The guy isn't ignorant nor stupid. I gaurantee you he doesn't believe the shit he writes...he's in it for the money. No way in hell someone with such a knowledge of religous texts could even fake being so ignorant unless there was money to rake on in.

Well, I hate to say it, but prove him wrong.

Seriously, pick that tract apart and point out some incorrect facts. He cites everything he claims.

So except for the stereotyping and lack of tact, he's not all that wrong.

It's not the facts that anyone disputes. Propoganda is at its best when it is true...it's the selective nature of the presentation that causes it to become propoganda...and Chick is most certainly selecting the worst of the worst portrayals of Islam.

The man is a genius...he preys on the bigotrous and lethargic ideals of middle America incredibly well, and piles in the money from it.

^ and that was the "lack of tact and stereotypes he plays on" part I mentioned.

But I was saying, for all the hate he gets, he doesn't exactly lie.

Distorting the truth is a form of lying, IMO.

Take for example: Environmentalists like to distort the truth. For example, they say temperatures have been increasing since 1970 because of C02 emissions. True, temperature has been increasing. But the temperature decreased during the years 1940-1970, while CO2 emissions were increasing. But environmentalists don't want you to see that, so they only show a chart beginning at 1970 to prove their point. Are they lying? Yes, IMO. They're being dishonest.

crazy, but yeah he cites his information, anyone check out the passages he's cite to make sure they're true?

I love the little check boxes at the end, it's like being back in elementary school! And I think that whole airport thing means they're about to go crash some planes into some buildings.

"But I'm not finished!"

"Yes you are!"



Here's a neat little parody site. (http://www.weirdcrap.com/chick/)

The sad thing is that some people really do take this crap seriously. When I was in jail, this guy handed me one of the little books. I think it was the one where the atheist has a deathbed conversion. The guy couldn't understand why I didn't react like the people in the comic after reading it. "Jesus saves? WOW! Golly, I better convert right now!" The damn things are so contrived, I don't see how they could convince anyone.

That is one of the few places where you can find Who Will Be Eaten First, the Cthulhu tract. Jack has ravenging hoards of lawyers trying to surpress it, mostly because someone ripped off his artwork for that one.

Thanks Python...that guy's site is amazing. I sat through and read the archives from 2004 to current.

That is f'scking messed up. Why can't Christians, Muslims, Jews, and all other religions and theisms live in harmony? Well, jeez, you don't see Muslims and Jews sending missionaries all over the world to convert Christians... Even though that is happening to a lesser extent these days, the Christian religion has always been a conquerer-converter theism.

guess the old guy finally went mad

oh well, nobody really cares about those pieces of shit anyway

I checked out the parodies I like the "loved to death" one.

...What a bastardization. According to him Jesus created the world...

Um, he doesn't always cite from the Bible itself: "The Islamic Invasion" is not a section of the Bible.

On a serious note, that weapons-grade anthrax was traced back to our own U.S. military installations. How Islamic terrorists got into our own facilities, got the anthrax, handled it, contained it, shipped it, and distributed it properly is anyones guess. Either way, the idea that some towelheads managed to defeat security of biological weapons in a secure base is bullshit.

Also consider the following:

- The anthrax attacks were concurrent with the debate of Bush's Patriot Act by Congress and the media.

- The Senators who received anthrax letters were trying to amend the Patriot Act to protect civil liberties and the innocent.

- Two Senate democratic leaders received anthrax letters mailed the same day that Senator Feingold blocked an attempt to rush the bill through without discussion or amendments.

- Senator Leahy received an anthrax threat after he expressed reservations about the Bill. As Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, he managed the debate on the Bill.

- Senate Majority Leader Daschle received the first Senate anthrax letter as he led the opposition to the original version of the Bill.

- After receiving the anthrax letter, Daschle switched from supporting a 2 year limit on the Bill, later defending a 4-year sunset clause as the "appropriate balance."

- No Republican received an anthrax letter.

- The House and Senate buildings were closed and not reopened until after the Patriot Act was passed.

- The Supreme Court was shut down with an anthrax scare the day after the constitutionally-challenged Patriot Act was signed by President Bush.

- All the contaminated letters contained the Ames strain of anthrax, the DNA of which is traced to the original batch preserved in a university lab in Ames, Iowa. This strain was "weaponized" in Utah into a potent powder with an elaborate secret technique developed at Fort Detrick. Maryland.

- The FBI failed to interview Ft. Detrick anthrax experts for two months into their investigation, doing it only after the experts complained to the press of gross incompetence on the part of the FBI.

- The FBI allowed the Iowa state lab to destroy the original batch of the Ames strain, making tracing the anthrax type more difficult.

- The FBI overruled local homicide detectives who think that an anthrax expert was murdered because he knew too much.

Owned. Besides, there have been a few copycats done by anti-abortion individuals in order to scare a few doctors.
