I love this line …
… funny he doesn’t mention that they didn’t use the word “God” either …
Yup. Chick’s nuts.
Got stones that drag the ground; but nuts.
I wonder what Arab Christians make of Chick’s assertion that ‘Allah had no son’.
Also, how can we possibly be shocked by 'Your wicked city is feeling the wrath of Allah!" when more or less the same sentiment is heartily endorsed here?
And (I’ve read this in his full-sized comic books) the Establishment is the Society of Jesus. That’s where it all ties together at the top. The Jesuit General controls the Pope, and the Roman Catholic Institution (he never calls it a “church”) controls the Freemasons, Illuminati, the Alexandria Cult (they’re the ones responsible for all Bible versions other than the King James), all neo-pagan organizations, etc. Pretty much everything you could name that isn’t a church of Chick’s variant of evangelical Protestantism. Even Hitler was a Vatican front man.
In Chick’s view, all Catholics go to Hell, unless they “come out” of the Institution and get saved the right way at some time before their deaths. And it hardly bears mentioning that the same fate awaits unrepentant liberal Protestants, Mormons, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, etc.
I’m not making any of this stuff up.
In the Chickiverse, Allah != God.
I’m highly skeptical that these tracts save many souls. Quite obviously the real audience is the people who buy them for distribution. Most people over here consider them little more than litter … although a particularly unpleasant kind of litter …
But see, the cartoon of the tower is cropped at the bottom, so it isn’t clear that the Palace isn’t in the foreground.
I was off on my directions–I was picturing the Thames flowing east/west, and it looks like it actually bends to flow north/south past Parliament. So beyond Big Ben to the east is Palace plus river; to the south is the Palace itself; and to the west (away from the Thames) is a park.
But what about to the north? The cartoon could have been drawn from above the Palace of Westminster (and you can’t see the Palace because it’s cropped out), facing north, parallel to the Thames. I don’t remember what buildings are located there, but are there not banks and offices and so forth?
Obviously what was blown us was the bank on the grassy knoll!
I’m dead certain these tracts are not responsible for saving any souls.
Certainly you meant to say “I’m highly skeptical that these tracts win many converts.”
Where did Jack Chick get that Nimrod story from? It wasn’t even in the bible.
I emphatically deny that I have ever taken physical form and seized Muhammad violently 3 times.
Everyone knows I only did it once. For 20 minutes.
Shouldn’t it be “Who the hell do you think I am? I’m the Goddam angel Gabriel!”
Yeah, something like that.
I do kind of like how he’s willing to make Jesus black in the black version. If you think about it, the fact that he makes Jesus have different skin colors depending on the audience is rather postmodern*. And even though he may be intolerant, there are some things I like about him more than other intolerant christians. He doesn’t think less of Muslims than he does anyone else. It’s too bad he’s harsher on homosexuality. He’s nowhere near the nastiness of Phelps, and in some ways he might be better than Pat Robertson. He may be crazier but he’s less hateful.
It looks like Grandpa’s face is melting in every panel that has him in it.
So, how about his claims about the origin of Islam? I mean, I don’t think they’re true, but what’s the rebuttal?
*Maybe that’s not quite the right word.
I dunno, maybe that Chick’s theory flatly contradicts every known fact about the origin of the Islamic faith? Or that Chick’s theory comes from a con man posing as a former priest whose claims about Catholicism and Islam have absolutely no support whatsoever from any legitimate historian?
Jesus is black?
Cool, cause then I’m picturing him as Lawrence Fishburn, baby.
These Chick tracts follow such a predictable pattern, I wonder if anyone has ever put together a Chick Tract Generator …
I like the quotation marks around all of Jesus’s dialogue, even though the dialogue is already in a word balloon. Makes me think Jesus is speaking ironically. I picture him saying, “Love your enemy,” while doing finger quotes.
Also, Jenny appears to be a guy in drag.
Coulda been. Well, not “black” as in African-American but certainly darker than the blue-eyed boy we’ve all seen on the Sunday School posters.
It’s believed by some scholars that people of the Middle East were even darker in skin color than today, becuase there’s been so much intermarriage with the various invading groups down through the centuries.
So, while Jesus might not have been “black”, he probably wouldn’t be considered “white” today.
And by the way, you’re wrong. Samuel L. Jackson should play Jesus. Can’tcha just see him driving the moneylenders from the temple?
Y’know, I just realized this is actually kind of restrained for ol’ Jack. He claims Hadijah was Catholic but otherwise doesn’t even mention the Catholic church, and he doesn’t talk about the dreaded Catholic mega-conspiracy at all. Is he maybe backing away from some of his more outrageous views, or is he just hoping to slowly lead people up to the crazier stuff?
