Chick Tracts are, without exception that I have seen, pure bullshit. His evolution tracts really go beyond bullshit. But to call the new tract, “Sin City”, bullshit is to insult the slurry of grain, random animal parts, and antibiotics that went on to become bullshit.
Let us count the ways:
1.) Yes, local authorities not only wholeheartedly support gay rights displays, but go to the trouble of having lone, non-violent dissenters beaten up by the police.
2.) Christians being beaten senseless by gays? Is Chick on Bizarro World?
3.) Does Chick have any concept of what a “hate crime” is?
4.) I don’t know about you, but I think there’s something going on between Reverend Ray and Zanah, if you know what I mean. (Wink wink, nudge nudge.)
5.) “Bye, Ray! As a team, we sure ruined a lot of kids!” Shizzit.
6.) Chick conveniently leaves out the part of the Sodom and Gomorrah story in which Lot offers up his two hot young virgin daughters instead of the men. Sounds like a much better solution to me.
7.) “I’ve even preached that Jesus was gay!” I think that was the line I was reading when my brain, in an effort at self-preservation, had a massive hemmorhage. I’m better now.
8.) “That’s crazy! Jesus died on the cross, but he was only a man!” Sleeping a bit in those seminary classes, weren’t we, Rev? Shouldn’t have stayed up all night having hot, uninhibited male-male intercourse with demons.
9.) “I know I’m saved! I feel like a new person! And what’s more, my desire to have my penis wedged between the butt cheeks of a hot, young, sweaty, anonymous construction worker has vanished completely!”
This tract pisses me off for the same reason FriendOfGod’s insistences that Christians were more persecuted in our society than atheists did–it simply runs contrary to any reasonable perception of reality. It’s delusional. The evolution arguments I can almost see past, since the layman (such as Chick) can have a tough time telling bullshit science from actual science. (Not that he tries.) These arguments, on the other hand, show an unwillingness to acknowledge observable reality.
