So let's say that there's a crazy man out there who thinks *EVERYTHING* is the work of the Devil. Halloween, Role Playing Games, Television, Movies, CHRISTIAN ROCK MUSIC... everything. Now let's say that this guy writes a comic book about every single one of these Satanic things to warn the masses. Should you read his material with an open mind, or should you just start mocking right away?

You can read all of Mr. Jack Chick's works here for free. you can learn about little Jimmy (or Timmy, or Donnie... whatever) and how he was a good Christian boy who never sinned until that one day when his friends (under the influence of Satan) pressured him in to that worst of all sins, TRICK-OR-TREATING!!! Timmy puts on a costume, crosses the street, gets hit by a truck, and dies. Jesus turns his back on little Jimmy and lets him burn in the lake of fire because of that terrible sin of wanting to get some candy on October 31st.

No, really... check it out! http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0032/0032_01.asp

I've tried to read those before.

Didn't get very far. :)

Though I like the one about the Roman Catholic church.... ;)

Heh heh heh... Yes... that one is something like "Sure they *believe* in Jesus... but not in the right way, so they're gonna burn in hell!"

What's the quote from Kevin Smith's "Dogma"? something like "God had a GREAT thing going on, then man had to come along and screw it all up by basing RELIGION on it".

Probably. Haven't seen that one for awhile :)

Though if (*insert deity here* forbid) I ever had a kid, I wouldn't raise them Roman Catholic, for the exact reason they state there...if they want to belong to a religion they have to make a concious decision about it. Not just be stuck because that's what Mom wanted.

Nor would they be forced to take other sacrements that require them lying to a bishop (I think he was a bishop) because they don't believe in what they're saying. Not that I'm bitter or anything.

Yes... I was raised as a Roman Catholic, and look at me now!

Idea!

Hey, I know! Lets write an article about how much God hates comic books (especially self-righteous ones) and anyone who reads or writes them is going straight to hell to burn for all eternity!
And we'll do the misquoting and bending the words of the bible to suit or needs, just like he does!

Oh, if I know Jack Chick, he's all ready done that. BUT! He said the magic words ("God", "Jesus", or a combination of the two), and he is magically saved!
