        What’s it about religious fundamentalists that they can’t be happy unless they take someone else’s dignity? There are so many gay men, all of them were raped? About the Bi men? Were they only half raped by this logic?

          What’s especially wild to me, personally, is that I grew up reading these as a very young kid, like single digits. I would be excited when I saw a new one, because it was a “fun comic” to read to pass the time in church! It’s so, so, so, so, so, so fucked up. There was a spinning rack of them in the lobby of every church of a certain stripe.

            That’s how things get normalized, if no one questions them you can just sneak in a bunch of shit.

            Should try that with the gospel of Judas, basically saying that the Abrahamic god is one of many. Mainstream that shit.

            But we need less religion, not more of it…

        It’s sooooo easy to find counter examples to that, like me. But I guess lying is a good strategy for them.

    This feels like something you would see your grandma see while browsing Facebook including the panel arrangement

    Anyone looking for more of this, check out Boolean Union

    I found this site years ago, but I haven’t visited it in forever. They dissect Chick Tracts, and the site is a great way to read the full source material. From a cursory look, it seems they’re still going strong to this day, up to Tract #285 now (there are still new ones being published). It’s not just Chick Tracts, they’ve covered a lot of other evangelical fundamentalist pieces.
