I died for you once- never again! Ingrates.

I must say that I am a Christian, I even went to an Evangelical Church that demanded kids go out and encourage other people to be Christians. I can’t say that it is wrong to offer advice to people, and the goal was not to get them to come to “our” church but to just believe in God (the way we do).

There was some attempt to be Chick-like in “How to witness to Mormons” etc.. but a genuine faith in God was always appreciated. I say this because so many people miss the point. It is about Personal faith, which is personal (aka none-o-yo beezwax) and faith (no proof, just faith). I can prove that faith in Jesus will set you free as well as I can prove that it is better to be eaten first by the Elder Gods.. well except that faith in Jesus has given me peace and helps me.

I don’t have to give anyone money, cut myself, wear colors or talk to people in booths.. it is just you and God. So I can grab a beer and pull out my D&D books with Harry Potter on the TV and not get possessed (not even once yet!). I can have neighbors in a committed, loving and positive homosexual relationship without worrying about fire from the sky burning them up or them raping me or my kids.

In short, Jack Chick was crazy and exaggerated. But if you are a slave to any of the things that Jack has in a flyer, you might find peace in a faith in Jesus. If Jesus aint for you, then there is always Cthulhu… Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh…

Has anyone seen the Cthulhu-based parody of the Chick Tracts? The original site, so I hear, was sent a threatening letter from Jack Chick’s lawyer and shut down.

Fortunately, people have put the comic back on the net, at places like

Exactly, you can never no one will happen to you in the great beyond, because you accepted (as undeniable truth) just one of millions of other religions. There is a huge margin of error, and you could waste your entire life if you believe in the quote/unquote wrong religion. What? Because you worship a dead hippy nailed to a two-by-four it makes you some how special? Please…

Your argument is illogical, You say god suppasses logic, but your no god, just a stupid fundy with an agenda. Unquesting loyality to perseved non-sense does not make you pious, it makes you look like an idiot.

The fact that you refer to your self as a recovering “heavy metal rocker” just goes to show that you have no concept of it. “Pagan rituals had beats too…” SOOOO? Thats what music is dipshit. If it did’nt have beat it would’nt be music. If you honestly listen to only church choirs all day, you missing out on something good becase of some paranoid delusion.

I’m here to say (to whoever will bother to read this), that I am a Christian. Jesus is my Savior, and I have asked him countless times to forgive my countless sins. Am I scared of death? Of course! Who isn’t.

But everyone needs something to believe in to get through life. I cannot believe that when we die we are simply wormfood. There has to be something else. Man has believed in countless gods and goddesses throughout the centuries.

I for one believe in Jesus Chirst, He was the Son of God and the only way to get to heaven is through Jesus. My faith lies with Him. When I die and face my judgement, I want Jesus standing next to me saying “Father, he is one of mine”.

I’m no saint. I’m an adulterer, a heavy metal rocker, a liar, and a thief. I’m as dirty and rotten as they come. I try to be a good Christian and walk the straight and narrow path, but it is very difficult. My only hope is that Jesus forgives me for all I do.

I say to the world “Jesus is Lord, and you better accept him. There is no other way to escape the Lake of Fire but through Him.”

No matter what your beliefs are,
No matter who you are or where you come from,
No matter which God you choose to believe in,

Religion, although it has been used countless times to justify torture, imprisonment, and even execution, it typically encourages tolerance, peace, acceptance and love.

The beliefs and teachings of Jack Chick are anathema to Christ.

Whether or not Christ is God,
Whether or not Jesus even existed,
Whether or not any religion on earth is right or wrong,

Jack Chick’s words and teachings are those of hate, intolerance, and of arrogance.

And this statement comes from a self-proclaimed agnostic.

No matter what your beliefs are,
Whether you are a hardcore believer,
Whether you are an agnostic,
Whether you are an atheist,

BELIEVE in tolerance and acceptance.

Not necessarily from the teachings of religion, but out of human decency.

Jack Chick is a delusional, self-righteous, imposing character.

Worship all you want, it doesn’t justify insensitivity towards others.

Think about that, would you, Mr. Chick?

Another more likely thing to happen would be Satan allowing you to do deeds upon the earth for him, tricking other people into bad deeds, murdering, harassing and otherwise pestering the living. You wouldn’t be tortured, and you could pick out people you despise to harass, why would satan turn down the millions and millions of servants he must have in hell and not use them to agrivate God’s plans and trick all the living? He wouldn’t. There you have an entire flawed principle, Hell is pointless. There is no suffering. And if satan did used to be one of God’s most trusted angels then he would know how to annoy God best.

So you can all go pray to your God’s for salvation and a good afterlife but at the end of the day, its all impossible, your corpse will just bio-degrade in a wooden box and thats that. Great afterlife.

Dex”

Factual accuracy hurts, doesn’t it?

As for the Mark of the Beast?

The context that it is the number of a man is ths. The word for man in the Greek is Anthropos. It means MANKIND.

666 is the number of mankind.

The only 666 chapter and verse cobination in the New Testament is John 6:66. John 6 is the Eucharist Discourse. Those that have denied the Real Presence have alread marked. It took 2 men to figure this out. The Catholic Priest that first divided the Books into Chapters and the the Printer that subsequently divided the Chapters into Verses. Nothing about the Word of God is coincidence. There more than likely was divine guidance when the Books were divided into chapters and then another divine guidance when the chapters were divided into verses.

Trogo on that for a while…..

> To say that the definition of Allah is God and is used by Jews and
> Christians

First of all, Allah IS Arabic for God, which is why if you go to Lebanon or Egypt you will find Bibles, CHRISTIAN Bibles, that use the word Allah. And same for the Arabic speaking Jews too.

Second, most Jews would contend that Christians have it wrong. After all, a major tenet of the Judaic faith is that Jesus was not the Messiah, let alone the son of God!

> to say that we are stupid to think that Christmas has babylonian
> origins

Babylonian? I’ve never heard that. The closest is that Christians chose to use December 25th because of it’s connections to the Persian cult deity of Mithras, who was widely worshipped by the Roman military at the time, and who is strikingly similar to Jesus (with the notable exception that he was a militant God, something the origin Christians were not).

> to say that Christianity invented Satan. Well in fact thats exactly what
> satan wants you to think. That he is only mystical.

Ask the Jews what they believe about Satan, as opposed to what Christians and Muslims believe, and I think you’ll be surprised.

> The stuff that Chick mentions is not invented by him. Many speakers
> talk about the same stuff and dont necessarily have anything to do with
> Chick.

Just because someone else believes it to be true, does not make it so. I’d point out that many of these things are either popular conspiracy theories (that may very well have been originally invented, or at least popularized, by Chick himself anyway) or are from people we know influenced Chick.

> He has always tried to destory God’s people (Jews) via the Egyptians,
> Romans, Greeks and Babylonians

Except, of course, that it was those same Romans who essentially created western Christianity (as opposed to it’s earlier incarnations in the east amongst the Copts, Assyrians, Greeks and so forth).

Also, the Romans WERE pretty successful in scattering the Jewish people, leaving the area wide open for Christians (themselves subjects of Rome) and Muslims to claim their land in following centuries.

> I saw a documentary on TV few years ago about how scientists dont
> understand why the EUPHRATES is drying up!!!

What wonderful anecdotal evidence… For the record, we DO know why. The region is drying up because of considerable environmental damage under Saddam, at least some of which was intentional.

> China can easily raise 200 million soldiers and that does not include
> thearabic world.

China having such close relations with the Arab states? Heck, even the other Arab states don’t get along with one another. Remember the first Gulf War? Iraq invaded Kuwait, and many Arab states like Egypt and Saudi Arabia supported the US. Also, Morocco has been illegally occupying Western Sahara. Even now, countries like Lebanon, Jordan and Syria don’t do much to help the Palestinian refugees. I really doubt the 20 odd Arab states will ever cooperate on anything!

Incidentally, not much for geography either. A good chunk of the Arab states are to the WEST of Israel, not the east. Heck, even countries like Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the UAE, etc are more to the south than “east”. Nor do many Arab states (Egypt excluded) have large populations anyway.

> The bible contains prophesies about nuclear war, about world calamity.

Really? Care to point out where they specifically say the word nuclear?

Because those New Agers are such a violent lot, right? Incidentally, many ARE religious and do believe in God (or Gods).

Hahaha…. A bit racist are we? Or is it the fault of those “problem minorities” like blacks and Latinos?

> To say we have evolved makes our existence futile and vain and

Actually, I’d say it makes life wonderous anyway. Whether random or intentional, the point is that we are here. I see nothing wrong in that.

Ritual human sacrifice is encouraged by the Bible (Isaac). Rape is condoned (Midianites and Jabesh-gilead). Murder? Completely acceptable to kill witches, homosexuals, fortunetellers, and as punishment for hitting your father or cursing your parents. I do hope you’ve murdered your children if they’ve evern spoken out against you, or you’re not a good Christian. And what about my slaves? The Bible not only approves of slavery, but it tells you how to obtain slaves, how hard you can beat them, and when you can screw the female ones. And those ten commandments that you see in so many courthouses, the ones you guys fight so valiantly to keep displayed? They’re not The Commandments. Those ‘rules’ were never called Commandments, and the only ones set in stone and brought down from the mountain were much, much different. Oh, but let’s not talk about THAT…

Let’s just talk about contradictions. For Fundamentalist who claim that The Bible is the inerrant word of God, the literal word and absolute truth, I ask: have you even read the book? Not a single Christian I’ve known even realizes that the two accounts of Genesis completely contradict each other on the very beginning of Creation. It’s the first two chapters of the freaking book, people? HAVE you even read it? Or are you just letting yourself be spoonfed what’s in this evil book?

To pretend that The Bible is the foundation of morality is laughable. But then, what do you expect from a religion that Hitler even followed.

Dear friends, you all have to know that the only truth is in the Bible, because the Biblie is the Word of God and everything that is written in this book is going to be true and has been true in the past. i make you a question? have you read the Biblie?

This book is really amazing friends, it is a book that gives you gidding in this life, c’mon friends, don’t you be so proud, have a teacher, let the Word of God shows you the way. Biblie is not a book for old people that is going to die soon, no, this book shows you how to enjoy the life, shows you how to love and how to forgive and get forgiveness.

I ‘m super-sure that if you only read one verse of this book today, your life is going to change. do you know why? because the word of word is the word of God not the word of Jack. the scriptures are inspired by the spirit of God. and God loves you.

You can read the hole Biblie and have knowledge of this book but if you don’t have revelation of what is written then you’re missing the essence of the word of God. Would you like to have revelation when you read?

if you want revelaion, you need a teacher. the word of god was inspired by the Spirit of God, and he is a person, and he is moving all around the world, he is omni-present, so he is near to you right now.

you can ask him right now for revelation:

“Dear Holy Spirit i ask you for revelation to read only one verse of the biblie today, please sweet holy spirit, open my eyes and let me see what you inspired in this verse, in the name of jesus, amen.”

Go ahead; read a verse.
remember, only one verse today.

From Jack Chick’s tract “The Death Cookie”
“In Egypt the people worshipped the sun..and they called it… The Great god Osiris”
He later calls Osiris a sun god

From Wikipedia (look it up yourself)
Osiris (Greek language, also Usiris; the Egyptian language name is variously transliterated Asar, Aser, Ausar, Wesir, or Ausare) is the Egyptian god of life, death, and fertility. He is also called the All-father. At the height of the ancient Nile civilization, Osiris was regarded as the primary deity of a henotheism. Osiris was not only the merciful judge of the dead in the afterlife, but also the underworld agency that granted all life, including sprouting vegetation and the fertile flooding of the Nile River. Beginning about 2000 B.C. all men, not just dead pharaohs, were believed to be associated with Osiris at death.

From the book of Leviticus 11: 1, 5-6
1. And the lord spake unto Moses and Aaron saying to them…
2. (2-4 is talking about what meats you can and cannot eat)
5. And the coney because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof he is unclean to you
6. And the hare because he cheweth the cud but divideth not the hoof he is unclean to you

Do hares and coneys (rabbits) chew their cud?
Who’s the liar?
