A Chick double features

Upchurch said:
Mary Magdalene had "seven demons driven out of her" by Jesus, which supports your internal demon theory. She must have been a raging lesbian to have 7 of those little things.

And Jesus over came those demons. That should say something about the real nature of his "omnipotence"

This is SOOO insensitive. It isn't the *volume* of your demons, but how you use them; therefore, a lesbian with only 6 demons can be just as raging as Mary was, provided that she knows what she doing with what she's been given.

I thought it was the airspeed of an unladen demon that was important. European demons have a lower unladen airspeed than an African demon.

The letter

Satan has the backing of the courts, trying to shut the mouths of God-fearing pastors, who still have the courage to preach about it from the book of Romans, who show what God thinks of homosexuality and what He did to Sodom and Gomorrah. I believe the time will soon come when godless judges will close churches that call being gay a sin.

How can the courts tell any pastor what to preach in his church? The wall of separation between church and state forbid any govt official from interfering with what can be preached from the pulpit.

And how can any judge close a church? The church could surely hire the ACLU to administer a legal pimp slap to any judiciary who could be stupid enough to dare.

It's not a reasoned position. Chick is working in the one medium he understands the best: fear.

For that, you can have an honourary doctorate of theology.

My husband tells me that I should read all the threads before responding, but I think I get the gist. It must be a real hoot to paint Christians as idiots who actually believe that there is not only a creator, but that we are answerable to him. Maybe instead of reading Chick so religiously, you could open a bible and see if that 's equally amusing. Of course that would require that you put some stock in the most historically acurate book in existance. By the way, no one has ever found Jesus' body and not for lack of trying.

I think this is a distorted reference to some property dispute.
 
He used to have a character portrait (of himself?) on the website that looked just like Ned Fanders from The Simpsons. Too bad, it looks like it was taken down.

Hey, so long as we're using snappy quotes as a conversion tool. . .

Just noticed this post, sorry for the late response.

Pascal's Wager doesnt mean anything, the primary reason being the Wager's ambiguity: If its better to "just believe" in any religion which offers a blissful afterlife, that seemly truistic sentiment is rendered useless due to the fact there are many many many religions which offer an afterlife, so which am I supposed to choose? Equally relevant in Pascal's Wager, perhaps God accepts atheists, and rejects fundies from Heaven.

As far as "the Christian position still seems to me preferable to any scientific-materialist one", I'd ask the question "Why?", then I'd extend that question to "Why not another religion?". I would prefer the Methodological Naturalist position because a logical systematic analysis of one's observations achieves much more intellectually than "faith" ever could.

When one person has just as much faith in their god as another person has in their god, the issue of "faith" is resolvable through two methods: A logical systematic analysis of one's observations (which is a rejection of faith, and exactly what I support above), or killing the other person. Hmmm...

Another argument against Pascal's Wager: if a Christian uses this argument, he clearly has no respect for his own god. After all, what god is so easily fooled by a person saying that he believes when he clearly doesn't? After all, a confirmed atheist who is just covering the bases isn't going to believe with all his heart that a god exists.

Hey, didn't I kill this thread?

Just because that guy in the bus station toilet said he was God, doesn't mean it's true. :p

Sodom was destroyed for its injustice, which evidently includes you know what.

Gommorah was destroyed for its fiscal irresponsibility.

The parallels with modern day San Francisco should be obvious. :p :D
 
What's really scary is, years ago National Lampoon
(when it was still funny, that is) had a parody of a Chick tract in one of the issues; the art, writing, and message where so identical, you couldn't tell it from a real one.

I've been wracking my brain to remember which issue, though--I know I had it, I just can't find it!

Can anyone help?

Okay, we go from mocking Chick because, well, he's just Chick, to a message about seriously pursuing Christianity. Nevermind the message here is not to revile christianity itself, but Chick, his messages of hate, and how truly un-humanitarian his message is. Same person who is admonishing us to find Christ is also using the "cherry picking" argument. And, well, let's face it, if she were a good christian, Farmermike would have obeyed her husband's wishes, and read the whole thread.
