    Reply “how did you know I was into old man on furry roleplay?” then when they go off on their god crap, tear it in half and toss it and yell “NEXT!”

    I loooooove Chick tracts. I collect them.

    Always on the lookout for Lisa in which the family doctor lets a dad know that he gave his own daughter herpes but it’s okay because he helps the dad find Jesus and stop being a rapist. That one got pulled pretty quickly.

    My favorite one is the Christian student against the professor. “Gluons aren’t real because you cannot see them. Actually it is Jesus holding atoms together.”

      In my country, a fanny is a cunt, so hearing Americans call bum-bags “fanny packs” was, and still is, hilarious to me.

      But I will be exclusively referring to my bum bag as my “strap on” from now on. Thank you, groucho’s mom.

      I’ve heard those massage pads you lay on a chair and sit on called a “vibrator”

    Having brain cells is satanic, evidently.

    The effort people make to undermine education only shows how desperately it’s needed.

      There was one of these tracts from the 70s on evolution, where a christian student authoritatively defeats the stuffy science teacher, with what is demonstrably cherry-picked crap taken out of context.

      At the end, the triumphant, humble-yet-firm student asks a by-now deflated science teacher how is it that protons in the nucleus, with positive charge, don’t fly apart, the teacher shakes his head as he mumbles “I don’t know, I don’t know…”

      I guess the student was implying that little angels kept the protons in place? Or that there are some things that are unknowable?
      As if Quantum Chromodynamics, the Strong Force (and Strong Nuclear Force, slight difference there) and The Standard Model didn’t already exist, as if quarks hadn’t been detected beyond a shadow of a doubt.

      In his profound and cynical dishonesty, seems like Chick in his tract counted on information on the subject not yet being widely available at the time.
      Chew on that one for a minute: Chick counted on the scientific illiteracy of the tract reader. Fanatical zealot that he was.
