No, no, the Easter Bunny is the first pope, St. Peter Rabbit!
Hey beets are great. I pealed the labels off of my cans of beets, sent them in, and that’s how I got my demon. Don’t you know that’s how it’s done?
Anyway that was about the creepiest Chick tract I’ve ever seen. And that’s saying a lot. Straping a 8 year old down, and then"throwing the book"at him rather than giving him help for his obvious mental illness? I’d say the judge was responsible for the further deaths. Him and Jesus, who could have shown up and comforted an obviously deranged kid.
bete "rather go to hell than Chick’s heaven’ noir
Well, that’s Texas for ya.
Dang! There’s the solution, right there! Chick has shown us the way!
Reverend: You said you had a *hard question * for me, Jamal…
Jamal: I heard Jesus is just another fairy tale.
Reverend: Only a *fool * would believe that!
Harry: It’s all a lie! I don’t want any part of him!
Reverend: A lie? Oh really, Harry? Well look who’s here to visit you!
(Guy in robe, sandals and Dan Hagerty beard enters): Ho ho ho! Here I am, Harry! I’m Jeeeesus! And I’m here to save your soul! Good boys don’t strangle their cellmates, Harry! Ho ho ho!
–and Harry never doubted the existence of Jesus again. The End.
killed Jesus.
Much better.
Weirdly, by the letter of Chick’s theology, it doesn’t actually matter if you kill Jesus as long as you believe in Him while you’re doing it. I think it’s one of those “if you meet the Buddha on the road” deals.
This is the usual Chick research. The tracts usually only cite two types of books: books available through Chick Publications, and the Bible.
Well, usually its only the Bible, and many times this actually makes some sort of twisted sense. In the fashion that he usually cites it, though (I’ll admit to have not read all that many Chick tracts, but still more than a passing familiarity), I just assumed going in he would do the same with the Koran, just taking it out of context, especially when he makes his bolder claims about Islam.
I’m still wondering why Marilyn Manson is a reporter.
Also, I think the SDMB should adopt the picture of the sinners as its new logo. Also, the “yes” and “no” boxes for Jesus at the end of the Allah tract crack me up. It reminds me of the 6th grade…
“Do you like me? yes no”
Even weirder is that in the same panel, Harry’s parents are looming zombie-like out of some kind of glowing fog in the doorway.
