There’s this whole Jack Chick knockoff world that has been around for decades despite having the worst arguments.

      Well I published a paper the other day, properly annoted, with citations… it’s basically “God is good, Jews are bad” written 777 times, where each iteration refers to the previous statement, which I published through the renowned public journal known as Facebook.

      Check mate, acedem-I mean atheists.

    My favorite is the one about the evils of D&D. It ends with the protagonist literally entering a Warlock pact with Jesus as their Celestial patron, sealed with a ritual book burning.

    Funny how that works, when you stop believing in bullshit once you get educated. No wonder they hate education so much.

    Still being published, but they aren’t making new ones now that Chick is dead as far as I know.

    Plus, they’re highly entertaining and I seriously doubt they converted anyone because Chick’s whole theory was that many people have never actually heard of Jesus and once they hear about them, they’ll be Christians.

      Because it’s a control scheme. One of the ways this method of control works is to differentiate themselves from the wider world by claiming to have some special knowledge that a commonly held facet of reality is wrong and only they understand what the truth of the matter is.
