Jack Chick gets one right...

[Upchurch]

...almost.

Check here, panel 17:

Man: The people were trapped because they believed their religious leaders.

Woman: Why, that's stupid.

Even the blindest squirrel will find an acorn once in a while.

I still don't get the subplot with the old man and the kid who steals one of his hairs. What's up with that?

If thine hair is gray, pluck it out and cast it away, for it is better for thee to enter life bald than gray. And if thy cannot cast out thy gray hair, try Just for Men. It worketh in only five minutes.

I had a quick look at a few on-line bible concordances looking for a passage where a youth plucked out the hair of an older man, but nothing jumped out at me. Mostly people plucking out their own hair in astonishment or Yahweh doing it for them. Nothing that fit the context of the cartoon.

Dang, that good old King James english is a great way to market a hair product. I am tempted to get some Just for Men, just for my gray nosehairs...

The kind of doublethinking Jack Chick is capable of puts my feeble little heathen mind to shame.

And then he goes on to say Christianity isn't a religion.

Great, now I spat my glass of Cherry Coke all over the keyboard, and the rest is up my nose. I should never read those things while attempting to drink.

 

[Palimpsest]

Oh, a lot of born-again fundies say that. Xianity (or at least True Xianity, cue the bagpipes) is a "personal relationship" with God or Jeebus.

If they did meet Jesus they'd probably try to convert him.

He'd be fêted at the auto-de-fé, a la the writings of Ivan Karamazov.

I thought Dostoyevsky had a good idea with The Grand Inquisitor, too...
