The Newest, And Most Horribly Bad, Jack Chick Tract
I read something the other day here that linked to this guy's website. Well, I was browsing the latest news items at the Dawkins forum and there was an item in the wing nut section that I thought J. Armstrong and everyone else here that likes a good laugh would enjoy:

As you can see, Chick links the science of evolution to Hitler and atheism, which leads to the belief that one can become a god and no longer need morals. At the end, our hero Tyler gets thrown into the pit with all the other people who believe in evolution.
Classic Chick Tract!
It has everything but some gay and Catholic bashing.
Let's run it down:
1. "Evolutionism" is a religion. (Personally, I'm a Gravityist)
2. Coming from "goo" is bad. Coming from dirt is good.
3. Comically bad understanding of evolution.
4. He presents evolution as a white supremist ideology. Someone show Jack Chick the photo of the KKK gathered under a banner that says "Jesus saves".
5. Atheism and nihilism are bundled together.
6. Invisible demons whisper in people's ears.
7. Non-Christians always seem to have anger management problems in Chick's world.
Personally, though, my favorite bat-shit insane Chick tract is "The Last Generation".

Words can just not describe how almost every pannel reveals a twisted worldview. No finer example of the asylum of Christianity.
I seriously think Chick believes the delutional nonsense he prints in his tracks jsut as a lot fo fudumental Christians believe their extreme views. The danger is when these views are imposed on society and become mainstream as with the Satanic cult scare of the 1980's.
I agree. It's not just society in general, but it's even more dangerous when it infiltrates our public school system and government---like it's doing now! You should hear some of the crazy stuff coming out of Washington D.C.
and take Genesis at face value, where'd the dirt go?
