And about damned time, too.
For the people that don’t get this one the message is simple. If you tell your children about Santa/easter bunny/tooth fairy or any other ‘fairy tale’ you won’t have any creditability when you tell them about how great Jesus and Co. are. Which is a fair point in my opinion after all the story of being directly rewarded per tooth has actual physical evidence going for it (i.e. money under your pillow) and if that turns out to be bullshit how unlikely does it sound that a magic man in the sky will give you bliss in the afterlife if you just accept his son as a savior?
Anyway in Jack Chick’s world any moment not talking about or thinking about how great Jesus is is pretty much a waste of time if not an outright sin and telling your children any tales that aren’t direct from the Bible just turns them into little psychotic serial killers. Whereas if you just told them wholesome stories like the story of Lot then you’ll come out with totally normal good little Christians.
I think I seriously injured myself laughing at this. That looks to be *exactly * what is happening.
And you would expect the schoolmarm to be for prayer in school, wouldn’t you?
I like how in the panel about The Day That Changed Harry Forever, Harry has flames shooting out of him! That’d be so cool! Or hot, I guess. If ol’ Chickie had really been on his game, there would have been a little demon perched on Harry’s shoulder telling Harry to kill those Santa naysayers. I really like it when Chickie has little demons perched on evil people’s shoulders. Makes me want one of my own.
So, Harry’s parents took him to church but he still never heard of Jesus? Oh wait, that Minister was preaching on the Easter Bunny. Sorry, my mistake.
Kneepants Erasmus, the Humanist: Ordinarily, yes. Which is why Jack portrays her with a “No Prayers” placard.
Subtlety is the calling card of our Mr Chick.
And while you say you want a demon now, swampbear, soon he would be tearing the place up and pissing in the heat registers while you went about your everyday life without giving him a second thought. So until you’ve demonstrated a level of responsibility and maturity, then there’ll be no demon for you.
Now, eat your beets.
At what point do Harry’s mother and father promise never to lie to him?
I’d love to know why Chick has Marilyn Manson playing the reporter in the early panels.
:dubious:
Hey someone call Jack Chick that someone hacked his site and sabotaged his track!!! :rolleyes:
It’s a Catholic church. And as we all know, Catholics aren’t Christians.
Its part of a build-your-own cross set (that he never finished).
Anti-Christ pogo stick…?
Of fine! But don’t act like you didn’t know it was coming when I shoot up the playground because all the other kids have a demon and I don’t!
I’m wondering if twenty years ago a school shooting would be called “an act of terrorism.” Hell, I’m wondering if anyone would use this term today to describe a school shooting.
You know that strange, sureal feeling you get after you listen to all your rock’n’roll records backwards and then go kill your family?
No, neither do I, but I suspect you might be muttering something like the above. Thanks, Jack Chick and your (not-so) random italics.
My knowledge of the Bible is a little rusty… was there a specific part where a Roman soldier had Jesus at the end of a big stick, wienie roast style?
I believe the picture next to John 3:16 is depicting the part of the Bible where Jesus has a spear (sometimes referred to as a holy relic, the Spear of Longinus or Spear of Destiny) stuck into the side of his body.
John 19:33-34 (KJV)
Well, it doesn’t say it was a shooting. Maybe he used a car bomb, or crashed a jetliner into his victims.
Maybe he broke into the kindergarten room and set free the guinea pig and the iguana.
OOH! I know! The guinea pig and iguana mated and their unholy issue is what Harry used to kill his friends!
I remember where I was when Santa Claus died.
Why didn’t Harry Garner kill his parents?
