[chuck]Okay, we’re back from our 6 day road trip and tired as hell. But we know you all have been without a podcast for 2 weeks, so here’s what we’ll do: we’re going to do another Jack Chick episode and we already have one slot filled with a tract called “Oops.” We’d like to discuss 2 more, so we’ll open the floor to our audience.
Leave suggestions for your favorite Chick tracts in the comments, and we’ll choose two from that pool and record the podcast tonight. I’ll try to get it edited and out some time late tonight, and then I’ll crash and sleep the sleep of the damned, hopefully until I actually am damned.

Oh man… you gotta do “The Little Bride” or “Who is Allah?”
Allah Had No Son is great just for the first two panels but Fairy Tales is great for totally batshit crazy kid who hates his parents and doesn’t believe in jesus because they lied to him about Santa.
Which is why all us atheists don’t believe in God now.
Holly Shit you should do “Who is Allah” just for the Racism alone.
This is a parody but everybody should see it. http://esr.ibiblio.org/?p=135
How about “Love the Jewish People” for the name alone.

Only because the title sounds tasty.
Um, I like “Oops!” because it was adapted for black audiences. And as a former Catholic “Papa” and “Last Rites” were particularly funny.
As far as chick tract recommendations go, I would like to suggest either “Why no Revival” or “The Attack” since both deal with certain sects penchant for the KJV. Having attended a northern baptist school I have often heard this sentiment, but fail to understand it.
…the only tract that makes any kind of sense is the cthulu one.

The saddest days of my life. I shall be dying soon, withdrawn from my lifeblood, which is this podcast. However, in the meantime (between seizures and vomiting), I shall propose:

Hopefully you guys will consider this while fully acknowledging that you are the cause of my death and have blood on your hands.
I especially like that a court makes the law in that one. It’s like all the paranoid right wing conspiracies in one.
All right, we gave it a valiant effort, but Leighton and I can’t even keep our eyes open. We’ll give it another go in the morning.
Sleep is for the WEAK!
Random fluctuations of time-space continuum, I am going through the list of the tracts and [i]there are some with “Adapted for black audiences” as a subtitle[/i].
The message of salvation has to be colour-coded, eh? At least this steaming pile of offal is short, Stephenie Meyer has written veritable phone books of sick.
I vote for “Somebody Angry” which puts forth the premise that storms and weather are the result of god being mad that we don’t support Israel. (No mention of why god chose such a shitty piece of land for “his people”)

@SouthernFriedSkeptic Seeing as how jews and arabs get along incredibly well in places like Los Angeles and New York, I think we can then surmise that they’re both completely happy with each other unless they’re on really shitty real estate.
Reading these comic strips makes my brain hurt :/
You guys rock! Don’t stop the podcasts please! I need my fix! I don’t know (read have any nonreligious friends) any religious skeptics and I must pretend that you guys are my own personal buddies!
You know, as a child, I used to have my preacher and family seriously give these tracts out to me.
Did you know you can buy personalized Chick tracks? There needs to be an irreligiosophy store where I can buy some–because I would.
Just read that “last generation” one.
Oh. My. Holy. Fuck.
That is hideous child abuse to try to make kids think that. I can remember being terrified when growing up that I’d have to get the mark of the beast bar code on my hand to be able to buy food, then to get to heaven, would have to HACK MY OWN ARM OFF.
Fundies have a fucking lot of mental distress in kids to answer for.
Fucktards.
Was that too harsh?
I’m jonesin’ you guys… need…new…episode!!!
On the final edit now …
So it’ll be ready next tuesday
Refresh, dude.
