Atheism Jack T. Chick style

Ah, yes, thanks.

Another great one is the one where the Christian convinces the Muslim that he's made the wrong bet, because of what it says in the Bible.
 
Oh damn. I was going to post the 'Who will be eaten first' tract (which is a parody of Chick tracts featuring Cthulhu).

I went here: http://www.howardhallis.com/bis/cthulhuchick/

And it was gone. They explain why though (basically Chick has unleashed the legal hounds before on people, and sent them a C&D).

I think I saved it somewhere on my computer though, at least I hope so. That was funny stuff. Wish I could share it, but it was basically a Chick tract if Chick tracts were about Cthulhu. :D I'd rehost it but it would probably violate rules here, and then Jack Chick would get mad, and then if there was a hell I'd be going to it, yadda yadda yadda. ;)

That is one of my favourites as well. I always laughed at those Chick tracts where a person from (religion X) converts to Christianity because someone tells him a few passages from the Bible.

"Did you know Jesus is the one true saviour?"

"Oh my, just from hearing that I realize I have been following the wrong religion my whole life!" :D

Just for you, Marian:

Here, to go with the Cthulhu parody:

Here's a good site for Jack Chick parodies. The links are on the right. Some are better than others, but all of them are good for a laugh. Um, I wouldn't look at these at work, though. Some of the jokes are a bit, shall we say, naughty.

http://www.weirdcrap.com/chick
 
Oh rats.

Forgot to say, the parodies are in the archive. Tried to link directly to there, but it didn't work. As a side effect of that, there's going to be an audio clip, I tried to bypass it... shouldn't be too offensive.

Hint: Host it on a non-US site (plenty available!) and provide the links to it. Let Chick try and sue then! Not a hope in hell... :D

Given the Bull's size, I should think that he would be more worried about a heart attack, than getting his *ss raped.

It reminds me of this:
http://www.jebus-is-lord.com/howto/conversion/atheist/
 
If you want to see some Chick-style ubertracts, go to http://www.thetruthforyouth.com/ . They've got full-color comics which deal with deadly sins such as birth control and homosexuality, complete with links for getting "discrete help" if the comic makes you change your evil ways. Especially funny are the Rock Music comic, and the Evolution comic (in which some school children inform their science teacher that their evolution textbook is wrong because it includes the Piltdown Man). And of course, every comic has a "bottom line" link, which is basically a large version of the last frame in a Chick tract (which suggests it's related to Chick).

Isn't parody protected under the First Amendment?

Yes, but that doesn't stop someone from suing if they want. Then the defender needs to hire a lawyer, lose time to dealing with the lawsuit, etc, etc... To big a hassle for most people. Easier to just take the thing down. It's still censorship though.

Parody is protected, but using copyrighted artwork is not. You want parody, do your own artwork.

So the Cthulu one is protected, but some stuff that was originally at the WierdCrap site is not.
 
Thanks, Hex & Abdul for the clarification. I always wondered.
 
The webmaster of the wierdcrap site has an interesting section on his legal battles with Jack Chick's representatives. He did come to realize that his parodies were using Chick's art, so he and the other artists simply copied Chick's style. A novel idea, I thought... If you're interested in any of this, it's on the site under the heading "Attack Of Jack Chick".

I saw the site & movie. How much propaganda and outright lies can you fit on one site?
