Creationists - Jack Chick, Kent Hovind, etc.

Is there another archive of all Chick's stuff? Because personally I'd rather not give Chick Publications any more page views than I have to.

And why does Mr Chick seem to think YAAAHH is the only scream possible by humans?
Given the repetitive nature of Chick's work, I often find myself automatically reading in my own dialogue because it's more amusing. I can't be the only one who does this.

My favorite is the one where he claims that if you have an icon of Mary, you are literally worshipping the Egyptian goddess Isis, and she is gathering your energy to feed to her lover, the Babylonian god Serapis.
Which means Jack T. Chick actually believes Isis and Serapis are real. I wonder if he has his own private ancient mythology / dead religion head canon.
*facepalm* That's what I get for posting while drunk.
I was assuming it was spell check, not alcohol. The forums have an unusually high number of high functioning drunkards.
 
So apparently it's wrong not to want your creepy-ass uncle around. More good morals from Team Chick!

Think Jesus ever gets bored of spouting nothing but bible quotes at sinners? It's not even a quick quote. Maybe he should mix it up a bit like "Nah, I don't think so. Fuck off." or "Tell Hitler he sucks when you meet him!"

Ah who am I kidding, knowing Chick's sense of "justice" Hitler's probably living it up in Heaven while every last one of the Holocaust victims are burning in hell forever. Even the babies.
 
Chick definitely believes all myths are real. It's just that all non-Judeo-Christian beings are actually demons pretending to be gods.

This one, unlike some of his other little weird interpretations, is actually a pretty commonly held belief. It's why some christians get super jumpy around say, wiccans or the remaining active polytheistic religions. They think the things being worshiped are legit, just the wrong kind of legit.
 
Well what would a Chick tract be without critical research failure?

There's research failure, and then there's "just making shit up".

This one's really good. It has everything that makes Chick great.
Perhaps a minor point, but I'm impressed that Chick's comic depicts the Uncle as essentially performing an Exorcism, when Exorcisms are primarily practiced by one of the denominations Chick hates most... Catholics.

Yeah I think the logic for these people goes: if we believe our God is real based only on our faith in him, then others' faith is also evidence of a real thing. Not to sperg out but historically speaking this kind of belief comes and goes. In St. Augustine of Hippo's time (a catholic/apostolic guy in the 400s) other gods were real but not powerful; you could summon them and talk to them, but they cannot really help you. On the other hand in Charlemagne's time (the "dark age" in the 700s) it was illegal to believe in such a thing, or to accuse someone of summoning spirits (Chick would have been executed for saying this stuff).
 
It's bad enough I had to add a security exception to read that, he starts with "Hello, my name is..". In literally any institution of higher education worthy of the name that first sentence alone should have earned an automatic fail. Is it safe to assume that 'Patriot University' is the degree mill it sounds like?

It's available a bit more safely at Wikileaks.
 
One thing that always gets me is the hypocrisy. For example, Chick hates child abuse laws and thinks that not beating your kids like the infamous http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Pearl guarantees hell (see Bad Bob or The Last Generation), yet in Is Allah Like You? a Muslim man is the bad guy for doing just that.

Don't forget that despite that and rock music being grounds for hell, it's apparently not about the "deeds" someone has done.

In other words, another point for Chick!GodJesus being the absolute worst kind of villainous scum ever. He'll punish for deeds but never reward... or reward serial killers that don't deserve it. I dunno, I'm pretty sure these tracts are meant to be for raising militant atheists or worse, soldiers for the Vatican that totally exist.
 
As noted, Hovind has "earned" another doctorate in ministry while he's been in jail, writing a dissertation on end times prophecy that claims Jesus will come in 2028

In his 1991 dissertation for a doctorate in Christian education (which he uses to give himself credibility in his anti-evolution seminars), he cut out an illustration of the eletromagnetic spectrum and taped it into his dissertation, and there are spelling mistakes throughout - very professional :lol:

Here Dr. Karen Bartelt (who, you know, is a real chemist) gives a description of Hovind's dissertation and says it's an insult to those who have really earned a PhD in science -

I don't think it counts as an exorcism because exorcisms are very drawn out and ritualistic. All the uncle did was command the spirit to leave. I'm sure it's a double standard thing Chick has with the Catlicks.

I always thought that the muslim man was evil because he followed a different religion and that the child abuse was supposed to be the one thing that made the audience have sympathy for him

Chick prefers to associate everyone who disagrees with him with Hitler. (To wit, the tract in which a child, immediately after learning about evolution, decides to institute a "final solution" against those not members of the "master race.")
