I encountered Jack Chick for the first time in much the same fashion as I lost my virginity - it was discreet, quiet, and in a public restroom.

I first found out about Jack Chick through Space Moose.

Did anyone else learn the error of their ways by the same path?

The first Chick tract (albeit slightly modified) I saw was God Hates The Scene.


I don't think people leave them lying around in Australia because not as many of our Christians are totally batshit insane.  Well, beyond the normal batshit insanity that comes along with believing in any religion, that is.

We believe that people with good souls will be visible on earth because when they work hard they get a good life.

Ah, the Protestant fuck*ng Work Ethic.

My REAL nemesis.

People running around trying to prove that God loves them by lying cheating and stealing Stuff, so that they can convince others that God just gave them all that stuff because God thinks they're awesome, so that they can convince themselves that God loves them via some fuck*ng ridiculous mental gymnastics.

You have a serious misunderstanding of anything even related to the protestant work ethic. yikes.

No no no, I know how the Protestant Work Ethic is "supposed" to work. How it is claimed to work.

I didn't need to type the textbook theoretical sanitized version of it, anybody can Wikipedia that shit.

I hate how it actually works, which I explained above.

The thing that I always have trouble fitting my head around is the whole faith vs. works thing where (this is just my understanding and could be wrong) Jacky C and his ilk (J.C.! I just noticed that...) will tell you that you can live the most caring giving life possible but if you don't give skybeard his regular props he will set fire to you forever and you will totally deserve it.
It reminds me of older religions (let's say greek pantheon) where it was kind of implicit that you didn't worship the gods because they were deserving of it but because they would fuck your shit up if you didn't. It just seems like a whole different philosophy to mainstream christianity (and even Islam and Judaism for that matter).

I just have to say, Skybeard and His Regular Props somehow strikes me as a band name I have to add to the List.

This List should be published. Like, here, or someplace. It would be a boon to your fellow man.

When I was just a Fast Ninja, way back in primary school, I remember making things up to confess when my CCD class went to confession.  I knew I wasn't a perfect kid, but I thought it was shady that they'd expect 9-year-olds to have "sins" to confess that required the good Lord's notification.  The worst things I did were to prank-call neighbors and shoplift scratch-and-sniff stickers.  Even now, I do not believe these infractions to be the stuff of divine concern.  Absolution and penance should be used on those who need it.  God and I will have issues if I get blacklisted for having a rap sheet as innocuous as mine.

Yeah, when that hippos tail starts to spinnin' it's time to haul ass out of the hippo enclosure.

I found this out the hard way.

Indeed.  Been there, done that.
