Must be pine apples!

It’s supposed to keep doctors away, too.
My favortie part was when John (a really stupid fuck if I’ve ever seen one) says, “Jesus? Isn’t that a swear word?”
I want one as a plushie. The perfect thing to snuggle with!
Depends on your insurance. I stuck with a doctor who told me to go on a vegan diet and read the Bible for 15 minutes every day because I couldn’t find another doc on my insurance plan. The Reverend Doctor was willing to write my prescriptions, and as soon as we were eligible for another insurance plan and another doctor, I found a new doctor. She preached to me too, but it was only about losing weight and exercising and keeping my blood sugar under control, and I expected that.
I sure hope the Heart-Monster doesn’t fight with my Spine-Lizard (Now with “Grr-ing Larry”)
I’d buy a stuffed Heart Monster that GRR’d when you squeezed it.
There isn’t a whole lot to make fun of in this rather bland tract, but I did find it amusing that the guy doesn’t know the meaning of “fornication”, STD, or “blasphemy”. I guess the target audience for these tracts isn’t too bright.
Also, I want a “Fang” T-shirt.
Now that you mention it . . .
Hee! Or “Blasphemy? Is that a medical term?”
Boy, they’re really giving it to the medical profession this time around, eh?
But I have to admit that I still enjoy the way they randomly accent random words in the text.
No, but this particular tract is pretty small potatoes. It lacks in depth and meaning, but actually it is a pretty accurate expression of the Christian principles
that we all have an internal nature in rebellion against God and in need of
redemption by Christ.
I’m all for Pitting Chick’s more outrageous displays of damn foolishness, but the material of this tract is more GD-worthy.
Brilliant. Now, who’s going to print this out and mail it to Jimmy Carter?
There’s such a thing as context and professionalism. A medical doctor has no business stopping in the middle of an examination with a patient and suddenly trying to convert his religion. The poor guy keeps trying to ask questions about his medical condition and the doctor keeps ignoring him and talking about Jesus.
Good grief.
*Why * is it pitworthy? Do you pit Springer episodes? No! Because they are morons. It’s like pitting dog poop for smelling bad and looking nasty. Tracts are about a negative 983 on the IQ scale.
They do NOT represent what other than fundie psycho (so called) christians actually think. And no one with half a brain thinks that they have any chance of “converting” an actual human being.
I defy anyone to show me a statement anywhere in the Bible that says Adam or Eve ate (even part of) an apple. (The Hebrew word for “apple,” taffuakh, appears nowhere in the Book of Genesis.)
Though the fruit tasted good to them, it couldn’t have been an apple. Allegories aside, apples fit to eat require a chillier environment than we suppose Eden to have provided. I am from Indiana, where apples are grown and where the temperature gets mighty cold at times!
Yeah, Chick has played the NobodyKnowsWhoJesusIsAnymore tune more than one time in the recent past, but the only one I recall right now is the one about two kidlets (who happened to swear a lot) and Bob.
I was going to start a thread about JTC’s latest train wreck mostly about just this element. As I say, he has repeated this theme in the last few years. But the hyperbolic extreme he is taking it to this time, without the slightest lack of seriousness, is mind-blowing, IMHO.
Now we have somebody who is fairly “old” as he is both balding and concerned about heart health. (Yes, I know that both could descibe someone about 21, to take it to the extreme, but the sense here is that he is at least in early “middle age.”) Chick seems to be implying that since God was “kicked out” of the public school classrooms in the early sixties TONS and TONS of people have never heard the gospel, or even who Jesus was/was supposed to be. And by now some of them are even late-fortyish. This sound like utter crap to me. I’d like the fellow who was doing the “Good Person?” interviews to do a survey as to how many people in the street have never even heard that Jesus was supposed to be God, or have never heard that dying on the cross was supposed to be a sacrifice for the world.
It just sounds to me as though JTC is so tremendously bitter about public schools in America no longer being indoctrination centers that it clouds his already cloudy thinking.
True Blue Jack
It’s automatically Pit-worthy every time Jack takes a breath.
Heh. I’m aware of that. It’s always fun to joke about, though.
FWIW, I’ve heard it theorized that the fruit sould really be either the fig (ala the leaves mentioned later) or perhaps the pomegranate.
Well, if I asked the doctor if my serious health problem would kill me and he said (snicker) “well, everybody dies”, my principles would argue strongly for dealing him a swift kick in the coccyx.
This is one of the most important attributes to look for in your doctor. Never underestimate the value of what William S. Burroughs called “a croaker who writes scrip” (prescriptions).
This is the BEST ONE EVAR.
One scene… judgement day in heaven… the saved righteous souls are standing around taunting the sinner…
“Boo! You dirty old man!”
“We hate what you’ve done. Shame on you!”
“God’s gonna get you for that!”
(bolding Chick’s)
Oh yes, children, the streets are paved with gold, AND there’s vengeful taunting of sinful black celebrities. Come gather 'round.
Hmmm. In my book, Jack Chick is a much more formidable opponent of christianity than he is any kind of evangelist. Tracts show zero psychological knowledge of human beings.
I hadn’t seen one of these things (to read that is, of course I occasionally get one left on the windshield etc) since I was in HS. As a non psycho-fundie christian, having read this one, it appears to be the ultimate perfect creation to turn people OFF, not on, to christianity.
If this is the way they all are, then I believe that Jack Chick is really an athiest (or is it agnostic?), rather than a christian. Because really, they seem more designed to make sure that people don’t want to have anything to do with God.
