...of a sorts. Seems he only cares about people that dedicate themselves to Jesus and that religion isn't the way.

BONUS ROUND

I don't think I've ever had my mind as completely blown from a Chick Tract before. Confusing and incoherent from beginning to end! Bonus marks for the inevitable digs on those woefully incorrect Catholics, Eastern Orthodox Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, wooden rooster worshippers, Jews, etc.

Is that supposed to be Terri Schiavo? I know they passed within a little time of each other, that can't be a coincidence

Shit, Buddha looks downright evil. Hell, I think Evil-Buddha might be the creepiest thing to ever come out of Jack Chick(aside from the messages themselves, that is).

for some reason I'm reminded of Leifeld's Jesus vs Greek Gods comic.

Jack Chick denounces Catholicism

Fixed.

 

[God's Hand]

Sounds about right to me... Where's the confusion?

 

[Matlock]

Fixed.

Not sure where you're going with that: he cites that the religion and institution of Christianity are not the way, but rather a personal commune with with Jesus.

The prayer beads and praying to paintings of dead people are staples of catholicism, plus the shot at the pope. There are organized christian sects that promote acceptance of jesus in your life as the only way to salvation.

 

[Matlock]

Ah yes, didn't note the prayer beads, just the cross.

What's the deal with the old man and the kid stealing his hair, tho?

No confusion. But it' silly to insinuate that catholics aren't Christian, and even sillier to suggest that Christianity isn't a religion but a personal relationship with God yet turn around and talk crap about people who don't practice that relationship the exact same way that you do.

He's gonna go turn it into incense so he can go to hell with his korean wife.

So...you're not familiar with Jack Chick's pamphlets, are you?

 

[WedgeX]

So....Jack Chick is actually a Christian Existentialist?


I must say I didn't see that one coming.

 

[Diablos]

Jack Chick needs thrown off a skyscraper.

 

[Warm Machine]

Jack Chick hates everyone not him. Catholics especially.

Yeah, Matty, this is just more Catholic bashin'. I've heard that Catholics are hated just as much as atheists by this sort of fundie set.

First time I was ever exposed to Jack Chick was when my church took a trip to see the Pope during a visit to the states he made in '88. On the way back to our bus, I was handed a little booklet of what appeared to be comic strips, but when I read them, I noticed that they were attacking just about every Catholic belief possible. He claimed that the Devil used a Babylonian queen who was worshipped with sacrificed infants to appear to Catholics and mislead them. My 10 year old self was hardly impressed, particularly because the art sucked.
