Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rhialto" data-source="post: 417774" data-attributes="member: 630">You know, at the risk of being ostracized by everyone here, I'd like to state that I have a certain admiration for Jack Chick.  Mind you, it's very similar to the admiration I feel for those street lunatics one sees on occasion, screaming their hearts out as they explain that the Chiquita Bananna Woman shot JFK and John Lennon, to a disbelieving world--the admiration I feel for men who will state what they believe, no matter how wacky it is, and manage to do so in a reasonably entertaining manner.True many of Chick's beliefs are amazingly offensive--but the way he states them lets you know his heart is at least partially in the right place.  And it's a little known fact that Chick has actually had to endure the attacks of his fellow holy rollers, who find him a little too 'edgy' for their tastes.  But despite that, he has stuck to his guns, and kept making his comics the way he likes.  Well, that and supporting every born-again fraud who's come his way such as the man who wrote that anti-D&D article--a self proclaimed "ex-Satanist, and vampire "(!)--and of course, a so-called "Jesuit" priest, who revealed to him the Catholic Church's master plan for world domination.  Which will probably go into operation the moment the campaign eliminate birth control is finished.  From what I gathered, Chick genuinely seems to believe these people, which is more than they probably did.  From what I hear, he's actually a rather pleasant, if earthy fellow in person.So in other words, I consider Jack Chick a fellow lunatic passenger on this great spaceship we call Earth, as it hurtles through space at horrifyingly fast speeds that I won't even bother estimating, with his own unique, and terrifying views and give him all the respect that affords.Which isn't much, I admit, but with me, you should be thankful for what you can get.</blockquote>
