Ack! I found one of those in a Dungeons & Dragons rulebook at the bookstore just the other day ...
I read in my textbook for my theology class (Christianity: A Global History by David Chidester, I really recommend it!) that Jack Chick's Web site claims that its tracts are read by more people than anything else in the world. *shudder*

I find it interesting that where it says to read your Bible now that you've asked jesus into your life, they put (KJV) in brackets, just so you don't end up reading the wrong Bible!

Karen, that KJV is deliberate. They mean it. There is a whole subCULTure of fundamentalism dedicated to the idolatry of the KJV. A oot of tjhem call themselves "independent" Baptists.

"When The Devil Attacks, Think Jack Chick Tracts" - what a slogan. Not, "When The Devil Attacks, Pray To God With All Your Might", or "When The Devil Attacks, Run For Your Life", or "When The Devil Attacks, Make Sure Your Drink Split Pea Soup to Vomit On Your Exorcist". Nope, it's Jack Chick Tracts that will save your embattled soul from the Prince of Darkness.
I can't tell if that's parody or serious.

KJV -- i just followed your link. A Bible in your language? Shee-yeah, like the King James is an easy read ... I'll keep the Greek, thanks. It's a funner read.
In one of my undergrad classes the professor did about 10 minutes of standup making fun of bible worshippers, I guess to weed them out of the class. "Did you know that the King James is the real Bible? Yeah, it was published in 1611, and then God made it retroactively authoritative. ..."

I've always found it hilarious that the chosen Bible version of the 2008 Fundie Olympics is the KJV, a version authorized by Queen James. LOL
"The King James Bible is the authoritative inerrant Word of God and I believe every single word of it, including the cover because it says "Holy Bible"."
His name was Dr. Justice,(honorary doctorate I think) and he was a visiting speaker at Oklahoma Baptist University in 1964.
Back at the dorm, we divided into people with minds and the others and discussed what he said and hadn't said. Even back in 1964 at a conservative school the minds outnumber the inerrant others by 2 to 1.

Postitively Seussian. It sounds like "Fox In Socks", specifically. I'm goin' ahead and assuming parody, on this one.
My post on Super Tuesday was mostly about Chick Tracts, and I found, as always, there's just too much to be talked about. If you break down its wrong-ness panel by panel, you'll be there all day, but if you try to generalize about Jack Chick's numerous hatreds, you'll miss what gleeful insanity is at work here.
Incidentally, finding a copy of "This Was Your Life!" laying on the sidewalk terrified my five-year-old ass into begging my parents to take me to church. They smiled and obliged me.
I was so damn bored, I never went back. Thanks for the lesson, Mr. Chick.

University of North Carolina professor and biblical scholar, who can actually write, so he has had quite a bit of retail success. Former evangelical turned agnostic, last I heard, but rumored to be a gutless atheist.
He is left over from a previous post.
ER said, "...rumored to be a gutless atheist." So much for fair and balanced at ER's place.
His current book is kind of like the agnostic's version of CSL's "The Problem With Pain".
Haven't read it yet. I've got CSL's Cupid and Psyche story yet to go.

Well, and surely not all atheists are cowards, I hope.
Or hell: I'm not. But I already know that about myself. I just hope that's not what we're saying here.

Well, no. Those who are rumoring mean that he owes his whole career to his study of the Christian faith, and that that might make him reluctant to just come out and say "I don't believe anymore."
