I like how Jack Chick’s vision of a representative crowd of unbelievers includes a strabisimic dwarf in a witch hat, an aging biker, a British ad executive, and Anne Coulter. Jack must live in a very odd neighborhood. Honestly, is the classic witch hat really a typical item of apparel anywhere in the world these days? Personally I think it’s long overdue for a comeback, but Madison Avenue stubbornly continues to disagree. ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] Don’t tell **Hal.** Because he will want to have sex with it, you see. Haw haw haw! [/QUOTE] Do you think **Hal** is some kind of pervert? Lambs are underage and I’m sure Hal would never do something disgusting like that. He only has sex with adult sheep. ---

And somehow I doubt that the Israelites of the Old Testament sounded like old Mr. Finklestein at the deli on the corner. “I should waste a lamb on _Moses_?” ---

So now Chick is telling kids to torture animals? And what if someone’s parent doesn’t have a lamb to sacrifice? So it’s like, “Oh, too bad, so sad, I’ll kill your son, you cheap bastard?” ---

This is all wrong. Actually, the Egyptians were punished for grinding up their children’s teeth to use in folk medicines when they fell out, instead of leaving them as an offering. The Jews were spared because they did not perform this abominable practice. Moses had nothing to do with it. ---

[QUOTE=Biffy the Elephant Shrew] And, no, I _don’t_ think live frogs are bad. I always thought that was a really feeble excuse for a plague.

Ewww. [/QUOTE] So what did the Jewish Community Center do to deserve a plague that year? Did you try painting the building with blood? Did it help? Remember, Jesus died on the cross so you wouldn’t have to shower with frogs! This message was sponsored by Batrachaphobic Jews for Jesus. ---

[QUOTE=Cervaise] Don’t tell **Hal.** Because he will want to have sex with it, you see. Because of that one thread that got started that one time, that made it look like **Hal** enjoys having sex with sheep. Which presumably includes lambs. And therefore, another joke about **Hal** wanting to have sex with an adorable sheep will be funny! Haw haw haw! [/QUOTE] Free Bird! ---

[QUOTE=Terrifel] So what did the Jewish Community Center do to deserve a plague that year? [/QUOTE] You know, that never even occurred to me. Maybe it was God’s wrath raining down upon some of the horrid little beasts (i.e. 13-year-old girls) in my cabin – the ones who liked to play the “hand in warm water” trick (fortunately it never worked on me) and make fun of my table manners. > [@Biffy the Elephant Shrew](#): > > At the age I was when I first read about the plagues in my Illustrated Bible Stories book, I would have thought that was absolutely bitchen.
