I'm sure some of you encounter people handing out these little cartoons of salvation, redemption, damnation and eternal suffering. These things have it all. They are so much fun to read. Here's my favorite one. Here's the entire list.

The people who hand these out are so happy when I go through their stack to find one I don't have.

Enjoy

Come on giant I know people have tried to push these on you. Next time someone does, read it. Good stuff. You find them on the CTA too.

paul · July 30, 2003 10:37PM

why encourage them?

thuh freak · July 30, 2003 10:54PM

tripe like that is why i hate religion, and christianity in particular. mmm... tripe [insert sound of me reacting to a thought of a groin-grabbingly transplendent food].

Dude, I'll totally see you in hell! Let's have a keg party when we get there. Friends, family, AI posters...

Think of all the hedonistic women who've gone to hell(!)

LOL

I love tracts. I really like how the plane didn't break up when it crashed into the ocean! I guess they all must have suffocated when the air ran out since its an airtight compartment. Plenty of time to get saved!

Maybe I just shouldn't ty to make sense of it.

That would consistent with our culture. Murder and violence are accepted and shown in the news all the time. But if you can see the nipple of a famous person through her dress at a film galla hell is loose.

Like I heard one caller ask at a Liebermann presentation program at c-span: "I have heard his merits...but all want to know is, how many times have he been married? Two times? So this candidate wants to be president and he had a divorse?

"Sax and violins shall be thy abominable. But of the two sax shall be the thy worse"

Giant,

Understand I'm not preaching at you, but you did ask a question so I will answer. In the Bible it teaches that people are saved and go to heaven for only one reason. The grace of God as shown by his son Jesus dying on the cross for the sins of humankind. The Bible teaches that if you accept him as your savior, then you are going to heaven. This is true no matter what you have previously done. Even if you killed and ate an entire family while repeatedly sexually abusing their dead bodies you would gone once accepting Jesus.

The second couple tried to get to heaven via "good works." The Bible states this in impossible because even one sin will keep you out of heaven. However some people believe that they will go just because they have tried to live really good, moral decent lives. According to the Bible, if you have not asked Jesus to be your savior, you've got no ticket in, no matter how well you have lived.

Hope you are less confused about the tract. You can resume your mocking of it if you so desire now.

Nick

That's OK. I think you already did a good job here:

I checked out this thread thinking you were talking about Vogue or Cosmo. I was going to say that I also love these pubs, because they are often better than penthouse letters in the advice they give women on sex, but this is even better.

A friend at work once gave me the one on evolution with the ridiculous charactiture of the dogmatic, maniacial professor. I thought that one was hilarious, but the one you selected was unbelievably funny. If I'd found it anywhere else I would think it was a fake, intended to mock the super-fundie viewpoint. I mean, Cmon, it makes Jesus out to be an unmerciful bastard who demands obedience over compassion. Scary stuff.

I saw another one where it advocated discriminating against non-Christians in employment. I haven't looked through all of them yet, because I'm busy doing my satanic work of using evolutionary theory to cure disease, but I'm sure it's probably in there.

And now, time for some Anti-Chick.

Sure it's a biased and unfair presentation of the Fundamentalist Christian viewpoint, but the sickeningly true thing is that when you get right down to it, it's nevertheless an accurate depiction of how the theology works.

More Anti-tracts.

Actually, that's a completely fair re-telling of the first one scott linked to.
