Fundie website watch...Chick and Phelps

[jmowreader]

Chick's got a new tract up about Thanksgiving...http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1025/1025_01.asp

Chick says Thanksgiving was "once our most honored day." Funny, I thought that was Independence Day. Lots of pure bullshit in this one.

And Phelps? Of COURSE that evil fucker is happy Katrina hit:

1. LMFAO . . . not allowed to say "Thanksgiving"?????????

WTF? :rofl:

Since when? Oh Lord, Chick has outdone himself this time. Of course he forgot to mention that the people that wouldn't let the pilgrims worship as they saw fit were OTHER CHRISTIANS.

[TimeChaser]

2. I didn't think it was possible

But I think Jack Chick's getting even crazier. Thanksgiving is taught and celebrated in every elementary school I know of. And if they happen to teach the facts and not just Jack's sugar coated story (destruction of Native culture, diseases etc), well, it's the truth... :shrug:

[neuvocat]

12. Thanksgiving isn't a religious holiday.

So yeah you're right, Chick is losing his mind at a pretty steady and very noticeable pace.

3. Chick

Chick's "comics" are some of the most unintentionally funny stuff on the internet. The raving lunatic is so bad that I actually giggle at some of his stuff. There is a great one about a teenager with AIDS but I won't link to it because Chick doesn't deserve the website hits. Needless to say, he is overwhelmingly ignorant.

[no name no slogan]

15. Don't feel bad about hitting his site

every hit he gets costs him money. So the more you ping, the more he pays.

Welcome to DU! :hi:

4. I cannot read anything on Phelps' site without profound anger

and an immediate desire to vomit.

5. Speaking as a highly committed Christian

All I can do is point out that the whole thing is one long blasphemy - the man may have read the words of the Bible, but he certainly has not read what it says.

And I certainly join you in vomitting.

[Left Is Write]

6. You are absolutely right.

He can read, but he has no comprehension. He is vile.

[WeRQ4U]

7. Phelps is cracked. ...

With all this Patriot Act bullshit, why the hell dont' they arrest HIM for suspicion of terrorism. He all but admits it on his web site. He's probably the most evil person I can think of.

[MalibuChloe]

8. I smite him

am i allowed to smite?

9. So, according to Chick, the Pilgrims were LOOTERS!?

"Then God let them find corn that had been buried by the Indians."

Sounds like looting to me!

"(The Indians) taught (the Pilgrims) to fish and plant crops." So, of course it's logical that "The Pilgrims praised God for letting them live. They honored and thanked God with all their hearts for bringing them to America."

Excuse me, but GOD was going to let them fucking starve. I'd say they should have been thanking the INDIANS.

I also love how all the "God-deniers" in the bunch are trashy dirtbags, when those are the core Chick tract demographic.

10. Just an observation after the first two frames of the tract...

Why does "My blood sugar's low!" seem to be on par with "&@$#! I'm gonna miss my football again!"?

[Initech]

11. Wow, I thought Phelps was crazy. Chick is crazier.

And to say that someone is crazier than Phelps defies all known laws of physics.

[Starlight]

13. Is there an absolute zero of sanity?

I'm thinking these guys must be very close...:shrug:

[Kat45]

14. The Indian "spoke perfect English"

:rofl:

[NMMNG]

16. Yeah, where did he learn that from?

And Chick is whacked. Since when can't kids call Thanksgiving "Thanksgiving" in school? Hardly anyone considers it a religous holiday, except perhaps some hardcore fundies. Chick (and Phelps) need to get a reality check.

[jmowreader]

17. Actually, that's true

http://members.aol.com/calebj/squanto.html

Squanto was captured by an English trading expedition that came to the New World before the Pilgrims did. The traders took him back to England, taught him English, then returned him to the New World as a liaison officer between the English traders and the members of Squanto's tribe.

It sounded like bullshit to me too, though.

18. Most honored day?

I never went to mass on Thanksgiving. Then again, I didn't go on Independence Day either. Thought he'd pick a religious holiday instead to give that title to.

[sakabatou]

19. With Chick

I either want to puke or laugh... but I can't do it at the same time.
