Reviving the chick-tracts revival!

<div class="IPBDescription">Because it was awesome</div>So yeah. I don't know how many people remember this, so I'll lay it down for you (original topic: <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com:90/forums/index.php?s=5432458018963841024&showtopic=92456&st=80" target="_blank">here</a>)
Jack Chick is an artist who creates comics in an effort to inform people about christianity. He is, as many people think, completely insane, and often makes connections between games like D&D and worshipping satan to the point of actually calling him up during a game. Yes.
So a while ago, the good people of the NS forums (inspired by somewhere else I think, originally, the original topic seems to be gone) took it upon themselves to photoshop and generally mess around with Chick's "Tracts" (as the comics are called). With many hilarious results. I'll post some of the more famous ones here to remind people/try and kick it off:

And many more!

I'm so glad I started this fad.

Oh well, I found the first one I ever did sitting on my hard drive just now!

FIND THE OLD THREAD IT WAS MINE RAWR

Just to make this clear: using this "chick tract" art or whatever to create humorous comics is fine by me. Using them to poke fun at games is of course OK--I certainly had a chuckle at the ones about CS. Using them to present counter-arguments to the text from the original art can be OK too, if done with a bit of tact.

But using them to poke fun at the artist's religion is not. Calling religious figures drunkards, or saying they (example here) support adultery when the associated religion flat-out doesn't, is along the lines of insults or libel. Insults and libel tend to go against our community rules.

That one didn't seem very poky-funny-at-Christianity to me, at least. Oh well <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />
