Then read this Jack Chick tract, which I believe to be one of the best of all times.
It's got everything. UN = New World Order, UN ordering execution of Christians, non-Christians using Christians for food, torturing Christians, schools indoctrinating peoples' kids against Christianity, black helicopters raiding Christians who, get this, are hiding out in a mountain cabin, and finally, The Rapture.
It just doesn't get any better than this one, folks. It's 100% Christian siege mentality, conspiracy theory, and just farcical belief, from first frame to last. Good stuff.
All the Jack Chick tracts are pretty funny, really, but this one is the grandaddy as far as I'm concerned. Anyone want to offer up links to their favorites if they're different than this one?

Mormonism ceased being a compelling topic for me when I finally came to terms with its transformation from a personality cult into a combination of a real estate company, a SuperPac, and Westboro Baptist Church. - Kishkumen

I might be a little slow, but is this a parody? I want to assume this website is a parody, but Bible thumpers are really this silly, so I'm not sure.

Dude, this guy is dead serious. Jack Chick tracts have been trying to convert people to a fundementalist Christian faith for decades. This is the real deal.

Ozemc, oh yeah man, that one is great! Thanks for the link. Every couple years or so I go through and read a few of them. I don't remember having seen that one though. Good one, that's a classic too. That's too funny when Satan bursts into the room with that silly-ass grin on his Pumpkin head, with a chainsaw! ROFL.

As a D&D player this is my favorite:

They never taught me as a kid how to cast a mind bondage spell on my dad so he'd buy me $200 of books and figures.

Yeah, I sometimes wonder if Jack Chick has ever met people outside his faith. His depictions of them seem entirely based on what you'd learn from watching lots of bad movies and bad TV.

I love Jack Chick. The artwork looks like early MAD magazine, and the text is so ridiculous and over the top. The scary thing is that some people take this stuff seriously. The sort of people who think Harry Potter and Procter and Gamble are Satanic.
