Jack Chick released some new insanity.

That, my friends, is comedy.

<musical notes>I love youuuuu, Loooord…</musical notes>

This is my favorite bit:

Roger: Well, at least God has forgiven me.
Bible Dude: God HATES you, Roger!

Is it just me, or did I miss that day in Bible class that says God HATES people?

Check out the cute little fangy demon dog in the first panel. I want a demon puppy!

Yeah, I was wondering if the dog was going to get in on the action or not. That would have made things interesting.

“Jesus hates you for committing adultery, but He got a big kick out of the dog thing.”

I like the line “I hope Jessica didn’t get herself pregnant!” I’m not sure if this is supposed to make Roger look like an idiot, or if Jack Chick is actually that out of touch with the reproductive process.

Also, Roger says “I’m no worse than good King David was” and he’s right. Roger cheated on his wife and lied to his lover. David, on the other hand, probably raped Bathsheba then murdered her husband. I don’t know about God, but I certainly would rather live next door to Roger than David, repentance or no.

And then there’s the line “Because David repented, God forgave his sin and allowed him to live.” Does this mean that unrepentant sinners will be killed? I thought the Christian threat was damnation, not divine execution. I better pay up those life insurance premiums.

And, of course, if Bob had been even slightly compassionate rather than a judgmental asshole, he might have convinced Roger to repent. Instead, by being a jerk, he made sure that Roger would die and be damned to hell. Good job, Bob.

BTW, Linda’s letter says “My lawyer will contact you.” Does that mean she’s filing for divorce? Is that even allowed in Chick-land?

Sheesh.

Could someone explain this bit, please;

Bob : Roger, Jesus said, “he that believeth not is condemned already.”

Referenced bible quote : “For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned”

What am I missing? :confused:

Oh, and I want a demon puppy too!!!

" [sub]o[/sub]|[sup]~[/sup]I love you, Lord! [sub]o[/sub]|[sup]~[/sup] [sub]o[/sub]|" “Baa!” “Baa!” “Baa!”

Priceless.

I visited Glen Rose State Park about 25 years ago and, at the suggestion of my wife, also stopped nearby to see the “human footprint” fossils on someone’s private property. These were not the partly uncovered dinosaur prints mentioned above. Instead, they were obviously carved fakes. Their rough surfaces were completely unlike the smooth dinosaur prints in the state park.

I wonder how many people thought they were real.

DrMatrix, Doubting Robert – thanks!

Stephen Jay Gould’s essays were always a great source of information on the rational arguments over evolution: “we don’t have any evidence of transitions” or “we’ve never seen speciation in action.” But only our gullibility stands as a defense against cranks and charlatans.

As for the use of camcorders, remember that we’re all getting older and maybe even God needs something to jog the memory now and then.

Or maybe Jack Chick does – there’s enough adultery in the Old Testament to justify a full-time menu of TV preachers.

:smiley:

Is this the first time a main character in a Chick tract has refused to be saved?

The whole thing plays like elementary-school kids making up their own show.

Linda: You probably have AIDS! Shame on you!

Roger: Oh, God, why me?

[Bob has to be pushed onto the stage]

Roger: Help me!

Bob: God hates you! You’re going to the lake of fire!

Roger: I’m sick of you Bible thumpers! Drop dead, Bob!

Narrator: Eight weeks later, Roger dropped dead.

[Roger clutches his chest and falls down, flailing and gagging. Linda tries to put her foot on his face. The audience cheers for Linda.]

Also, I love how David is god’s boy one day and a filthy sinner the next, whichever happens to suit ol’ Jack’s book.

I’m such a geek. The thing that got my attention more than anything was how the things was almost entirely in a sans-serif font but then every once in a while someone’s dialog bubble would be in, like, Times New Roman or something. It was very distracting.

Baa! Baa! Baa!

That camcorder angel looks a little too engrossed in what he’s doing…

Opal: The Times New Roman is anything that’s a direct Bible quote.

I don’t quite understand why Roger got upset with Bob for preaching to him. He shows up at the cousin’s house asking for prayer, gets referred to Bob, tells him how he got involved with a lady from Church, and even told Bob that he GOES to church. Shouldn’t he be expecting some degree of preaching? If not, why did he go there?

Well, him and Rabbi Waxman

What would the SDMB be like without Jack Chick?

What is he up to, 3,000 SDMB threads?[/hijack]

I think the Biblical account of David’s adultery is sufficient. Why does Chick think he has to transmogrify it to fit a modern audience? The Scriptural account should be enough to illustrate the harm adultery does, along with describing David as a lustful coward. (I think David got paid back, in a manner of speaking, with the death of his sons Amnon and Absalom.) :frowning:
I will, however, give Chick his due on his main point; Adultery is wrong. (I once read that “the most depraved lunatic in creation has some lucid monents!”)
Who said “Jews own the Internet”? That reminds me of the claim by American Fascist Gerald L. K. Smith that Jews owned the press and radio. I don’t see much difference between Smith and Chick at his most bellicose.
The poster who paired “Bible” in the same sentence as 'literally"–oh god, another broken record! This is probably not the place for a disquisition on this topic…why go off on that tangent??

Hmm, Jack Chick site seems to be down today. Anyone else seeing it? Maybe we overloaded it with people reading linking from this thread… :smiley:

Damn I wanted to read it soooo bad too. It’s not working for me neither Padeye.
