A Time to Hop

Posted on April 23, 2019 by Nathan

I can’t say I do much for Easter as an adult, but I definitely have memories of hunting for eggs in my childhood. I remember going to church services as well, but I’m generally a defender of secular aspects of … Continue reading →

The Art of the Infernal Deal

Posted on November 4, 2018 by Nathan

I can’t say I totally buy the trope of deals with the Devil. If you actually believe in Satan, you presumably also believe in all the Heaven and Hell stuff, and is there any case where being tortured eternally is … Continue reading →

Getting Off the Tract

Posted on October 25, 2016 by Nathan

Holy Faceless God, Jack Chick died yesterday. Hey, isn’t that the day Bishop James Ussher claimed the world began in 4004 BC? I don’t know whether modern Young Earth Creationists still accept that date, but it still seems appropriate. You’ve … Continue reading →

Modern-Day Marcionism

Posted on October 19, 2014 by Nathan

I’ve read a few times about the Marcionites, an early Christian sect that had significant influence but was declared heretical. It has some ideas in common with Christian Gnosticism, but lacks the emphasis on secret teachings. Instead, Marcion held that … Continue reading →

Pray Away the Gay-Bashers

Posted on October 13, 2014 by Nathan

I just came across a link to this article on Facebook today. Seems that, despite Pope Francis’ insistence that he’s in no position to judge homosexuals, some of the cardinals are quite willing to do just that. Cardinal Raymond Burke … Continue reading →

The Devil’s Best Tunes

Posted on August 15, 2014 by Nathan

Not very long ago, my wife brought to my attention this IMDb thread about the music in The Lords of Salem. Usually these boards are pretty stupid, and it bugs me how half the replies to any given post are … Continue reading →

The World According to Chick

Posted on February 17, 2013 by Nathan

I hadn’t looked at Jack Chick’s website in a long time, but my wife reminded me of it tonight, so I took a look at the new tract “Let’s Fly Away.” Honestly, I have a hard time believing old Jack … Continue reading →

Divine Warming

Posted on March 19, 2012 by Nathan

Remember when Congressman John Shimkus proved himself to be just as dumb as his name sounds, and said that the world when end when God wants it to, and not because of global warming? Well, apparently at least one other … Continue reading →

Semiramis Kind of Life

Posted on February 20, 2012 by Nathan

Looking back at this Chick Tract dissection, I thought that Jack Chick’s obsession with Semiramis might be worth a post. So who’s Semiramis? And is she related to Harold Ramis, who played Egon in Ghostbusters? I don’t know about the … Continue reading →

Smells Like Hell

Posted on December 12, 2011 by Nathan

There’s a new Chick Tract (or at least what the website CLAIMS is a new Chick Tract), and it begins with what looks like a reference to Pinky and the Brain. Yeah, Jack, you’re certainly on the pulse of popular … Continue reading →
