What is Chick Tracts?:
Chick Tracts are comic strips by Jack Chick, a guy who likes to write about how everybody ecxept for himself is gonna end up in hell. His comics have been parodied and mocked several times.
But I found a good use of them.
Lulz.
His comics contain massive amounts of un-intentional humour, his bigoted views and silly reasoning is only overshadowed by the fact that he believes DnD and Harry Potter to be occult witch-training and J. R. R. Tolkien and C. S. Lewis to be undercover satanists....
Here is the list of the best tracts I've found so far:
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/5012/5...ROM=bibleseries :Bashing Harry Potter.
http://www.chick.com...046/0046_01.asp :My personnal favorite, Bashing DnD, Funny thing is that he thinks that 90% of the DnD players are girls...Does this guy know anything about geekism at all?!!
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/5003/5...ROM=bibleseries :Bashing Homosexuals, as a person very close to me is gay, This one in particular offends me.
http://www.chick.com...040/0040_01.asp :Bashing Roman Catholics.
http://www.chick.com...104/1104_01.asp :Bashing Allah with reasoning that Allah is merely an adaption of an older diety, completely ignoring the fact that christianity got craploads of stuff taken from the old heathen religions.
http://www.chick.com...016/0016_01.asp :Bashing Buddhism, not really any reasoning here at all.
http://www.chick.com...014/0014_01.asp :Bashing Jews, guess that makes him a nazi or something...
http://www.chick.com...033/1033_01.asp : God is NOT a Fairy Tale, thanks for hammering it in our heads with nails Mr Chick!
http://www.chick.com...070/0070_01.asp :MUHAHA! you Hindus just thought that you could escape Mr Chicks fury!...but you couldn't...
http://www.chick.com...055/0055_01.asp :Bashing Evolution, this time with actual proofs! (YAY!) But I'm not sure if they are made up or something. Can somebody tell me?
Now I've posted the ones I found to be the best of the best/worst of the worst.
What is the point of this thread:
The point of this thread is to dicuss the views of this man. Not the general christian view, but the view of this man alone.
My Opinion: I think its horrifying, to think that some people actually believe these things. But on some level, he may (hopefully not) actually be right, maybee god is a douch.
As a Protestantic Christian, I can say that I feel sad to see another of my fellow christians cross the line between Religiousity and Fanaticism. His views are arrogant and he fails to present his views in a maner that doesn't scream his opinions into our heads. Also, as a person who sometimes goes borderline flaming in defense of my opinions, I can never reach the sheer flamiosity of this guy.
For the Mods: While this thread is borderline non-Philosophers Corner. I don't really think that it fits into the Spam-thread either. But I'll leave it up to you weather you let my topic stay or move it.
