It may be a touch redundant, since comrade Chick's tracts read like self-parodies anyway. But I thought this was rather funny.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

Meh. That's almost as preachy and self-serving as a chick tract is. I liked TomD's parody much better. Anyone have a link to that??

Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :

Personally, I'm a fan of Ralphie's parodies. Not that Tom's wasn't good (I forget, did he do more than one?), but Ralphie just turned out one side splitter after another there for a while.

*nod*

This is as bad as any Chick tract.

Posted by Ryuko (Member # 5125) on :

AH HAH!

Link a-found!!

Tom's parody

A thread of hatrack parodies

Ralphie's links are on there, but it looks like she's taken the images down...

What's too bad is its science is pretty sound -- the notions chick attempts to use to reject evolution are ridiculous, and the reasons there are some of the reasons why.

If it had conveyed the science without being so preachy it would've been very good.

I agree. This guy's on a crusade not too different from Jack's. [Roll Eyes]

I read the whole thing though. The science seems pretty good, but the horrible diatribe at the end destorys anything he might have hoped to accomplish.

I nominate the chick faire for Annie's next Photoshop Phriday contest. [Big Grin]

(sigh) I'm so sick of thinking about religion... sick of being indecisive and trying to divine what God would approve and thinking about what I'm doing wrong. If I even am doing anything wrong. I'm gonna go read a book. [Frown]

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

The arguments he makes against Christianity at the end are as week as the arguments Chick makes against evolution. Each shows a fundamental lack of understanding of the thing being "debunked."

I'm sure plaid was refering to your parodies, Ralphie. And I agree.

And then Jack Chick subjected his tracts upon the world. This was known as transub-torture-ation

These are priceless...

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

My personal fave is the "Death Cookie" strip. [Smile]

Posted by Verily the Younger (Member # 6705) on :

"Death Cookie". Oh man, that was awesome!

Thanks, Ralphie lady! [Big Grin]

Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :

Sorry, but who's Jack Chick?

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Chick

This paragraph pretty much sums it up:

quote:
Chick is highly controversial. Many of his tracts are strongly critical of homosexuals, Catholics, Muslims, Mormons, Freemasons and other groups. He quotes people who have since been discredited or whose claims are not widely accepted. Among his claims are that the Roman Catholic Church is anti-Christian and in league with Satan, Islam is a pagan lunar cult, that the Vatican has a computer that contains the names of all Protestants in the world, that Freemasonry, the New Age Movement, Club of Rome, Council on Foreign Relations, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses and many others are in league with the Catholic Church, that the Vatican was behind the Jonestown Massacre, rock music was started by witches in Satan's service and that the United Nations is a tool of Satan and of the Pope.

Ralphie, those are too funny for words!!

I only got 1/2 way through Tom's before it got all small on me.

Posted by plaid (Member # 2393) on :

Mac? Um, yeah, I meant Ralphie. Eep, must've gotten the hot jatraqueras with masculine names mixed up...

Posted by sarcasticmuppet (Member # 5035) on :

romany: hold the cursor on it until a box pops up with arrows coming out of it. Click there and it'll go back to normal.

Joldo: www.chick.com is the site, I think. Read the tracts with a mind open to the fact that not all christians think the way he does. [Smile]

Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :

Well. After being linked by Wikipedia to Chick's site and reading some of the tracts, I must say, some of his points are true: whenever I kiss another guy, the demons on our shoulders most definitely kiss too.

New favorite newbie.

That was easy.

Posted by Joldo (Member # 6991) on :

Yay! I'm Ralphie's favorite newbie!

Does this mean I have any special duties to perform?

Posted by dread pirate romany (Member # 6869) on :

Thanks sm--That is so darn funny, Tom!

Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :

Joldo, yes you do.

Just keep repeating the fact that she has amasculine name and you might even get to enjoy some of them too.... [Evil]

Posted by Dagonee (Member # 5818) on :

[No No]

Posted by Ralphie (Member # 1565) on :

Kwea, the penalty for making dirty innuendos about me is reading my parodies and telling me how brilliant I am.

Oh, lord, Ralphie. I never saw the Death Cookie MSTing before. That was awesome.

Posted by Da_Goat (Member # 5529) on :

Yeah, I read that for the first time too. That was flippin' hilarious.

Posted by Scott R (Member # 567) on :

It's good to see this again.

Never gets old.
