The new Chick Tract is up. Don't bother.
It's "It's Not Your Fault."

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/1060/1060_01.asp

Very strange story about a boys' home that accepts boys by court order, and the boys keep getting molested--by the judge who sent them there. One of the boys accepts Jesus, and in the end God whacks the judge.

I read Chick Tracts so you don't have to. In this case I wish you wouldn't. I'm sure those guys have a hit counter on every tract; let's keep this one low.

1. I disagree, classic Chick in my opnion.
What with the vaguely semetic/middle eastern features of the villains in the story. The gratuitous and ridiculous dig at the United Nations. The "everyone belongs in hell" speech at the end. This ranks right up there with the Dungeons and Dragons tract.

2. Dark Dungeons stands alone in its absurdity
As one of our number put it, that is SO not how I became a witch.

3. Dark Dungeons, that was it!
Yeah, that's one of my favorites. I used to read it just about every Halloween. I wonder if Jack Chick knows how many people enjoy his tracts solely for ironic purposes.

4. Probably
I don't remember the name of my favorite tract, but it featured a man who got thrown into Hell for not passing out enough Chick Tracts.

6. There's a reason I read from the Necronomicon every night.
I'd had it up to here with the bipolar God(s) of the New and Old Testament. Is He a God of peace or a God of vengeance? Seems to me that he wants to have his cake and eat it too. But Cthulhu knows he's a squid faced deity of destruction and has never tried to fool society into thinking he's something that he's not. I know that when Cthulhu comes (and he WILL come), I will be amongst the first to be eaten.

7. The only use I've found for Chick tracts....
is to kill time by editing them to mirror popular DU memes of the moment. For example:



This is the last one I did- Obviously, I've had better things to do.

10. I'll have to see if I have any others....
I did a Photobucket purge several months back and deleted a lot of stuff. I think things like this were hit pretty hard.

12. Cool. Perhaps if you get the creative bug again, you can make a "Best Of".
Throw in some references to corn flakes, breast feeding and Olive Garden and you've got the making of an epic Chick Tract.

13. Evangelical Christianity is starting to resemble Voodoo today
The purpose of forgiveness is to free yourself of hatred, your not supposed to believe there's an outcome like someone dying and going to hell if you forgive them but i guess that concept is to whimpy for modern day christians. They're also publicly praying for liberal politicians and judges to die too.
