We were discussing fundamentalists a few weeks ago in the chat room of the Vast Empire, the Star Wars group I'm in, and the topic of the old Chick tracts came up. Heck, it might have even be me. You're never sure when a big discussion comes up of who said what and when.
Anyways, we laughed about them until we realized...the damn things are still in print. If you have never seen any of these: 1) count your blessings, 2) you really, really have no idea how hateful and psychotic fundamentalists can get.
And yeah, we were talking about everyone's fundies: Muslim suicide bombers, Jewish settlers gone wild, the "compassionate" hatemongers we have here in the US (not to mention the separatist Mormon pedophiles), all the same cretin as far as I'm concerned. But "our" lunatic fringe puts out propaganda in cartoon form.
Anti-Catholic and anti-everything along the way, even anti-Masonic Lodge in this story where a kid is satanic because his dad goes to the lodge. Genius! However, this one is a personal favorite, where the world is coming to an end and the One World Government (ooooo!!!) and a bunch of witches (really?) are settling the table for the Apocalypse. I know I've still got a copy of it somewhere.
Freaky, huh? There are, obviously, more of this filth and you can order them still. I just figured I'd pass this along to you. It's funny, scary, hate-filled, and disgusting all at the same time. Just like what you usually get with a fundamentalist.
