• Heh, I remember this site from last year - linked from The Site Which Cannot Be Named. Funny stuff.
• Actually, the one on evolution is downright depressing.
• Also from the "Marilyn Manson reject": "Wash Away Your Pain Let Me Into Your Monkey Brain..." I don't know. I feel like he IS speaking to me.
• madonna dahmer and the death squad! bwahahahahaha!
• frig my hat, that evolution one is depressing. or hilarious. or probably both. I like the way they think Homo erectus is "modern man"... "But what about CLAMS?!?"
• I have never heard clams used before to argue that evolution never happened. Amazing.
• Hehehe, this is so much like the early jack chick comics, before he started doing those everpresent tracts. He started out doing full-size, color comics with bits of history and the usual kooky creationist claims. In fact, Chick's comics are sometimes my favorites. When I was younger, they were the only comics I could get my hands on that were always about cool things like possesion, demons, drug use, murder, yaknow, all the good stuff!
• Another similar oldie but goody, for those few who haven't seen it. Hansi: The Girl who loved the Swastika.
• Actually, the one on evolution is downright depressing The evolution comic is very worrying because to me, it is frightening propaganda. The website denounces peer pressure but ignores Christian assimilation. I apologize for the following flawed ponderance. Quote from the Comic: "Actually plenty, sir - While twenty three different evolution theories contradict each other, Genesis presents only one creation story, god created heaven and earth." Someone else: "Yes Virginia, but in fact there are an infinite number of theories of evolution, even one stating that a creation being made an enormous quantity of consistent yet incorrect data just to test your love for Him, however we are still looking for evidence. It seems though that the measure of probability of this case is as large as all the information in the universe." Someone more: "You've made an interesting statement, but what if I argue that as the probability of a super-being creating the universe is equal to the size of the universe, given that the universe is infinite. Doesn't this imply that this 'god' must exist?" Christian Student: "Yes, yes!" Someone else again: "Technically no, because as the probability of a god existing is equal to the size of the universe, which is infinite, god must then occupy every element of the universe to exist." Someone more: "But in an infinite universe surely there is room for an infinite god?" Someone else again: "But by that argument a universe can contain more than one god, in fact an infinite number of Gods!" God: "Interesting. What about parallel universes?" Someone more: "Aha yes! Let us place a God in universe X, and make him the manufacturer of a series of universes i(1) to i(n)..." Someone else again: "There's a flaw in your argument though. An infinite god can fit into an infinite universe (that is given a time longer than the existence of our universe) but then the creation of the god would have taken an infinitely long time. In fact god wouldn't be able to create anything because it would never be finished." Conclusive individual: "Yes, therefore the only way for a God to exist is for it to be defined by itself: simply put, if God exists, God is the universe."
• Aw, man...I posted too quick, I meant to add the nearly complete tractlist over at chick.com.
• Damn. I wanted to link to the Chick Cthulhu Tract, but it's been "taken down due to legal stuff." The Great Old Ones will not be pleased.
• Worrying? Frightening? I find them rather touching in their simple innocence and naivete. They don't have that sick and twisted imagination, that element of the bizarre, that makes the Chick tracts so perversely fascinating. (But then I live in Britain and can view these things from a safe distance.)
• Actually, niccolo, the most fundamental flaw in that argument is that there are two creation myths in Genesis, not one.
• homunculus: Ask and ye shall receive. Who Shall Be Eaten First?
• great and handy link, sullivan,,,,i had to send it to a friend who dearly loves his porn, and insists on sending me pictures for my opinion.... i always appreciate any opportunity to reply with pious overkill...it gets such a blaspherous response out of him! a guaranteed laugh for me today! thanks.
• My favorite: from the Abortion comic - "Caution: Fetus Disposal." These people really have no idea what a D&C (or a first trimester fetus) is like, do they?
• "When prayers were in our schools, guns weren't! When bibles were in our schools, bullets weren't!" With faultless logic and catchy phrases like that, I'm sold! [OhThoseCrazyCristiansFilter]
• Blaise: So, these Christians, they hate the Second Amendment? Unca Charleton told me we wouldn't have Columbine if there were more guns in schools. (Here in New Zealand we have neither guns or bibles in schools. This makes me happy.)
• rodgerd, your country don't need guns since you destroyed Sauran. Middle-New Zealand has been saved.
• Yeah, we all have wicked-cool orc-sensing swords.
• That Cthulu tract is great, I spent a good part of yesterday trying to track down an online copy of Dan Clowes' (of Ghost World fame) "Devil Doll" from Eightball #1, which is another good parody. Did anyone watch the quicktime video on that site? You have to click the book in the center. Not to start the whole christianity of the founding fathers thing again.
• Australopithecus just another ape? Neanderthals were Homo Erectuses (erecti?)? That's not even close to the same species! The anthropologist in me weeps, but I can hardly hear him through the hysterical laughter of the cynic.
• Thanks, exppii. I will pray that you get eaten right after me.
• Hi, my name is Bones and I am a Redbone Coonhound. I would like to tell you my story on how I met my best friend Jesus and what all he has done for me. via memepool
• More hilarious Christian comix. Can you ever get enough? [Adobe Acrobat required]
