> [@faithfool](#): > > Who actually _saves_ their nail clippings to be stolen? Old joke: Crazy Wolf: “Do you file your nails?” Mary: “No, I cut them off and throw them away, like everyone else.” * * * I like the way he mixes Navajo tradition (the Skinwalker thing), Louisiana hoodoo (corpse powder), and any other vaguely sinister tradition as satanic. Navajo shamans and skinwalkers are in theoretical direct opposition to each other, of course, but since neither is Christian they must be joint stars on Team Satan. ---

What book do I have to read to gain teleportation powers? I grew up reading The Incredible Hulk, and yet to this day I can’t jump ten miles straight up into the sky. Major bummer. ---

Legally speaking, Mr. C. Wolf is fully within his rights to convert to Christianity. But the fact is he **DID** take Margaret’s money in return for a service. Indeed, on page 7, right panel, he gives an explicit guarantee of contract fulfillment. As he accepts the money, he says: “Hear my word. On the full moon her heart will be in my hand.” Now, in spite of this guarantee, I am perfectly willing to admit that he could decide to renounce the contract once he has become a Christian and realizes that he must not murder Mary. But would Christian ethics not also require him to refund the money Margaret gave him? You will note that Satan (and I) are the only two persons with sufficient ethical sense to realize that Margaret has a genuine grievance arising from the fact that she has received neither the services requested nor a refund of her hard-earned money. ---

It is rumored that in Jack’s end-game holding tank, there is little in the way of legal representation. ---

There IS actually a factual answer to this… For all his homophobia, Jack T. Chick is against gay-bashing and yelling hateful things at gays. He is all for evangelizing gays to repent & accept Christ. Phelps believes that homosexuality is a sign of total reprobation and that gays can NOT repent & be saved. They would accuse each other of being unBiblical heretics. And Jack would be the correct one! ---
