Yanno, on behalf of longhairs everywhere, I’d like to point out that I would never wear that hat. Incidentally, it appears that the Old Testament people were _really_ into heavy metal. ---

Oh if only Chick paid attention to the scripture he transcribes and followed Ephisians 4:29a, the world would be a better place. ---

Check out panel 29 (sorry I can’t link to it directly): Bob: …He’d be born of a _ **virgin** _—know what a virgin is? Long-haired kid: Oh…no…what? Check out Bob’s expression and stance.

All’s I know is, if that man accosted my son in a public place, he’d be explaining himself to the police. Either that, or I’ll just tell Aaron to tell him to Jesus Christ off! Robin ---

I keep waiting for “Bob” to take out his penis. I agree with MsRobyn, if I saw this guy hanging around my kid’s school I’d call the cops. Also, I never knew that homosexuality smelled like devils and death…hmmmm…Devils and Death, good name for a band. ---

They reference the “sodomy in Sodom” again. Correct me if I’m wrong, but the Bible doesn’t say that there was homosexuality going on in Sodom and/or Gomorrah. It seems like Jack Chick puts a lot of the same things in his tracts. I can imagine him having a little file folder system: “John 3:16,” “Crucifixion, graphic rendition of,” “Catholicism, connection to Satan,” “Homosexuality, wickedness of,” “God’s Word, corruption by Satan of,” “References to books my friends wrote,” etc. ---

ah jack baby, you’re not taking the pills, are you? i quite liked the fact that a virgin “is a young LADY who has never made love”, leaving the lads off scot free…as long as they aren’t gay of course… and that the wise men were very careful NOT TO WORSHIP MARY. just in case they might be mistaken for catholic magi :rolleyes: oh, and the citizens of Sodom and Gomorrah seemed to look a lot like Kiss… ---

When them hot hot angels come in to Sodom to stay with Lot for the night, the men of the city gather outside and demand that the “men” be handed over so that they can have sex with them. Lot refuses, offering his two virgin daughters to the mob instead. The mob refuses and continues to demand that they get some angel ass until the angels step in and blind them all to make a convenient getaway. Then Lot gets drunk and impregnates both of his daughters. God is OK with that, apparently. LC ---

The glasses are cool, but the hat makes him look like a forest ranger. Also, I can’t profess any knowledge in this regard, but I don’t think their headgear is skater materiel… BTW, it’s probably been mentioned before, but I discovered a list of the reasons people keep ordering these things: [http://www.chick.com/testimonies.asp](http://www.chick.com/testimonies.asp) My favourite lines: “Even when I was stationed in Japan, there they were” See what he’s done!?! “I was saved after seeing tons of tracts laying all over Wal-Mart” “I’m a pastor. I was saved in jail in 1984 after reading a Chick tract!” Uh huh… “You used to turn my stomach, now I support you whole-heartedly.” Now that doesn’t bode well… ---

The homosexuality thing sort of came out of left field. Bob brought it up. But it’s OK, you see, because a woman was calling him ‘honey’, so no ulterior motives there! This is a bizarre tract. The boys at Skateboard High obviously hadn’t ever worn helmets because they had never heard of Jesus. Or virgins. Or the Old Testament. And those backgrounds…! and the Sodom and Gomarrah-ites…! LOL on Jesus needing to be regime-changed. ---

Yeah, what’s up with them knowing every swear word in the English language, but they don’t know what a virgin is? ---
