See how the angels opened up their jugs and poured out **wrath**? Good ol’ literal interpretation, just like King James wanted.

Jack Chick is the penultimate example of unwitting self-parody. Is it wrong to laugh at something so pathetic?

Well, it is definitely wrong to laugh at something that is not funny.

That shit is boring, of course, I’m from the South and we don’t have to got on the net for that sort of thing.

No, you are definitely NOT the only one.

I wonder why Jack has been emphasizing Catholicism so much lately. You’d think he’d go after Islam and gay marriages or something like that.

Strange. Amusing, but strange.

The all caps and bolding at the end make me think that this Jack Chick guy really knows what he’s talking about. I had no idea that I could buy so many of these handy little pamphlets for so little money. Thanks!

I think [this](http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1014/1014_01.asp) may be the latest Chick tract. No Bob, no HAW!HAW!HAW! Kinda dull this one.

You’re right, that is a new one. Wow, that’ll show those heathens trying to remove Judge Moore’s statue! Take that!! 😛

I love the sensitivity Ol Wilfred brings.  
“Oh yeah he’s burning as we speak… flesh peeling off eyeballs boiling… the stench of charred flesh and the agony! Oh Girlie let me tell you about the agony!”

Mmmm I bet it feels good for that type of Christian to say I told him so… the pious fat heads.

But at least he saved her and got brownie points with the great faceless one. Nothing like a little fear to make you feel the love of God.

I like the pentacle on the arm of the nazi-style cop, and the giant priest holding up the horns, I bet he’s at Ozzfest.

BTW, if the rapture means that we’ll be rid of Jack Chick (same initials as…HEY!) then by all means, bring it on, I think the world could use more vultures.

An employee in our company died over Labor Day weekend, and the HR people brought a grief councellor on-site for anyone who needed it. Obviously the best way to deal with people’s grief is to tell them the dead person is now going through eternal anguish. Boy, did they go about it the wrong way. I’m sure Jack Chick would say it was because we have a heathen in charge of our company (I think I heard that our CEO is Jewish).

Jack Chick tract characters:

Woman talking with Bob about dying husband: At least his pain and suffering is almost over.

Bob: You wish! His pain has only begun. He’ll be suffering far worse than he is now and for eternity. Because he didn’t become a self-righteous prick like me and forget about human empathy, he’ll know the eternal torment of Hell and damnation. As it says in Deuteronomy, he will be bound to a rock and have his liver eaten by a giant vulture. Day in and day out.

Woman: Um, Bob, that was Prometheus from Greek mythology.

Bob: Blasphemer! All things come from God. There’s no hope for you either! Let me quote John 3:16 so you may see the light.
