3. In a SANE world, that would be outrageous, blasphemously brilliant satire.
Edited on Tue Jun-13-06 04:20 AM by dicksteele
But in a world where people read Jack Chick without choking,
it just strikes me as a "fair and balanced" rebuttal "in kind".

It's incredibly brilliant; but I'm incredibly jaded.

(Bear in mind that, brilliant or not,
I'm still gonna leave copies of this one on the bus.
How could I NOT?)

17. Making it look like a real Chick tract is trickier than I thought.
My printer doesn't want to feed that cheapass paper!

19. If you really want to print on that sort of paper...
you might need to use the envelope feed and feed it one sheet at a time by hand.

5. Check it out before the link is pulled down.
As soon as Chick's corporate lawyers figure out another one of those is on the web somewhere, they will send threatening letters to the operator of the web site and the hosters of the site until it is taken down.

Get it while it's hot!

6. PS this is a demonstration of what's wrong with the Pascal's Wager...
...argument.

Anyone can sit around and think of another religion (or make one up) more horrible than Christianity's hell or more wonderful than Christianity's heaven, and Pascal's Wager insists that you should believe in that religion instead of Christianity.

11. Chick's gonna screw that guy to the wall
He seems to have scanned (or downloaded the Chick images) of The Last Generation

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0094/0094_01.asp

and changed the words to more closely resemble reality. But the art's exactly the same, right down to the "free drugs" ad on the desk the informant stood before.

15. Of course.
No way can anybody make fun of "faith not works" Christianity, even though it is a load of steaming, maggot-infested pig shit.
