Merged Chick Tracts

There's a wonderful interview Chris Hitchens did once with Todd Friel where Friel was trying a "gotcha" schtick whereby he played a "hypotheticals" game...
And it's on youtube

Bloody hell what a bunch of pre-canned schlock from Friel. Do they seriously think that no one on the planet has heard this drivel before? Good recording though. Should make a nice reference for future skeptics.

The idea that you could know this story, in detail, and just not buy it seems to be something their mindset just can't grasp.

I don't think Chick honestly cares whether people buy the story; all that matters is that church groups keep buying his tracts.

Spectacular:

F: Even though he keeps you alive, he causes you to breathe, he provides you food and everything that is good he doesn't have any rights to tell you what to do? Nothing?

H: Does that mean that people who are sick and poor and hungry are excused this obligation of thanking someone brokenly for owning them?

F: That's not part of the gameshow.
 
1. It's pretty funny when Jack Chick (or ghost writer) characterizes a racist remark of someone else's as "very rude".

2. I am powerfully tempted to include a note "Note the crescent moon" on every picture ever, provided there are no crescent moons pictured.
 
No Fang, don't care. :D

Edit: Speaking of crescent moons, how the heck is that star in the middle of the moon visible during the camel story?

It's nice that Jesus works like a protection racket. Gives me a real cozy feeling inside.

"Muhammad hated the Bible because it tells us Jesus Christ (not Allah) created the universe."

Really? I thought it was his dad.

Well JC and his father are the same* so it's all good.

(that's some of that somefisticated theology that you often hear about but seldom see)

*there's a holy spook in there too so we have a divine menange-a-trois. Two males and a bi?

How do people honestly accept that as the actions of a benevolent and just being?

It makes perfect sense if one subscribes to the divine command theory of morality. If one accepts what is "right" is specifically what god says is right, then god could say that one must to do any atrocity of any kind, and that person is morally obligated to do it.

God can commit all the atrocities he wants because if his will is the entire source of right and wrong, atrocities can be a good thing.

Aha, so might *does* make right. I had it wrong all along. :D

I thought conflating Jesus with God was a Catholic thing.

Oh, no, not at all. From the gospel of John:

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

And later context makes clear that the Word they're talking about is Jesus.

Now, this is a concept that's pretty much limited to John; John is waaaaaay different from the other ("synoptic") gospels. But it's by no means a Catholic-only thing; in fact, the fundies sometimes criticize Catholics for moving Jesus too far from God. For examples, see other Chick tracts. :)
 
This one is out of print. I wonder why...
