Merged Chick Tracts

Dragonrock said:
Is it just my perception or does that tract appear to be even more vaccuous than the average Chick tract?

How can you say that? We know no RTC* would ever do anything like drinking and spouse abuse, unfortunately the number of RTC's is ~= zero.

That's like asking if the dog poop on the lawn looks like it contains more poop than usual.

Wait, so Chick's argument is that the actual authentic Greek version of God's word was written in the 1500s?

I dealt once (on alt.atheism) with a KJV-only believer who quite seriously maintained that it was wrong and unkind and demonstrative of Satanic influence for other posters to be impolite to her, but she could be as insulting and discourteous to us as she liked because the Bible said so. After all, 2 Corinthians 11:6 reads, in the KJV, "But though I be rude in speech, yet not in knowledge".

Of course the word "rude" , in the early 17th century, meant "crude" or "unsophisticated", and other translations reflect this: they have Paul describing himself as "unskilled in speaking", or "unlearned", or "not a trained speaker". But according to this poster, if the KJV used "rude", then "rude" is what Paul meant: he was being insulting and impolite and rude to other people, and that meant it was okay for her to be rude to us but wrong and sinful for us (unbelievers) to be rude to her.

I know, every time he has one of his characters express bafflement ("Jesus? Who was he?") about simple biblical concepts that just about anyone in the Western world would know, I express some bafflement of my own.

That's my favorite scene in The Little Princess (bolding and italics as in the original). Bear in mind that this conversation takes place in a middle-class, middle-American suburban household:
"Mr. Spencer, I'm sure the thought of your daughter dying breaks your heart, right?"
"Of course!"
"Well, God was even more heartbroken when He sent His Son from heaven to die on earth."
"Why did God have to do THAT?"
"Because all people are sinners and God would never allow sin to enter heaven. Because of our sin, we ALL deserve hell. The only way man could ever get into heaven was for someone sinless to die in his place and pay the penalty for sin."
"Who could that be?"
"That someone was God the Son, Jesus Christ."
"You mean Jesus died for US!"
"That's exactly right!"

Jesus hops into the fire with Shadrack, Meshack and Abednigo. Theres a nice picture of people smiling with 666 on their foreheads.

My favorite part in this is where the word "dunghill" is footnoted, "See dictionary."

Besides the obvious sick implications you already mentioned, I noticed this--

Victim: Bad things were done to me....

Pastor: Jesus'....blood can wash away your sins.

:mad: indeed. My mom went through phases where she watched the 700 Club: one of these was at the time of the McMartin Preschool trials, and the show's topic that day was child molestation. One guest on the show, speaking to any children who might be watching, told them (paraphrased), "If anything bad is happening to you, if someone's doing something wrong or making you do something you don't like, tell your parents. And if you can't, tell a teacher or a policeman or your minister." Whereupon Pat Robertson's co-host, Ben Kinchlow, inserted, "And when you speak to your minister, be sure and tell him you're sorry for your sins, and want to acceptjesuschristasyoursavior" -- completely failing to realize that a child, listening, would hear this as, "And be sure to tell the minister you're sorry for your sin of being molested."
 
Fairly funny, even, although the humour is sort of lost on those of us who aren't familiar with Dead Space canon. Still, nice move by the advertising team.

Looks like an ad for a game called 'dead space'.

It is a ad; mind you I'm not promoting dead space 2 by any means. I was posted it here because I was extermely surprised a mainstream company like EA made a parody of jack chick.
 
You know, as chick tracts go, that one could almost be read as merciful.
Woman dies, gets judged and thrown into the fire only to re-appear fully alive in her own past with the knowledge that Chick's vengeful god exists and how to appease him. She is then given the time to do so. And this reset button is good enough for god who lets her in on the second try.
Clearly indicating that his god DOES give second chances even after you die.

Of course I doubt that's what he ment with it, since I've read his other tracts and Chick seems to be of the 'you can only repent while alive and god gives no second chances' school of thought.

agreed.
 
Is there a Chaos God tract? Although, admitedly, it would have to be five 40K tracts. One of them would be a Commissar telling about the Emperor, and then the other four would be about Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh and Tzeentch.

Didn't Chick do a 'This was your Life" story earlier?
Click to expand...

Several times. The first was the American version, then an African version. I guess this one is the "chick" version (no pun intended).

One of the big differences between this one and the other two I've seen is that the woman wasn't naked when she went up to be judged. For some reason, she was wearing a robe!
 
Anyway, are there any Chaos God Tracts somewhere? Or ones about The Emperor (40K)? Coz i can see The Commissar telling the Imperial Guard why they should worship The Emperor.
 
There is a Chtulhu tract out there, but I've never run across 40K tracts.
There is the imperial guardsman's uplifting primer, that's pretty much the same.
