You're entering into the wonderful world of Chick Tracts. Just enjoy and laugh, Jack T Chick didn't pass away just for his work to go to waste.

I love these.
---

it's not a satire, just a good ol' hate filled propaganda.
---

I'm not a fortune teller, but I see much comedy in TC's future.
---

I thought it was going to turn around and show it from Amir and Safiya's POV with their mom talking to them the way Susy's grandpa did, revealing the hypocrisy and obvious lies of both religions. Alas, propaganda.
---

These show up in public bathroom stalls. I've found a few and they're hilarious.
---

But why did Amir and Safiya have to leave for the airport right now?
---

I'm sure you could write a similar one if you wanted to make completely different points

Chrislam

Istianity

isnt this the guy who demonized dungeons and dragons and then got a movie made out of that comic strip?

boyfriend says the girl in glasses was cute.
---

is it really propaganda if its true?

not that supporting christianity is good, but anything that opposes islam is better than nothing
---

I got bored half way.

I like in Christianity, how God destroyed one his faithful's lives in order to win a bet with his arch-nemesis.

I like when the pharoah was being an asshole, so God just killed every non-Jewish first-born in the land.

The thing is that most of the Christian stories are already in Islam minus a few retcons and some creative liberties with the license.

Because God loved us so much, he was born as a baby, killed by man and he prayed to himself to forgive mankind.

And where does the holy Spirit (whatever the heck that even is) fit in?

Let's not forget the dude that was eaten by a giant sea monster and survived for days in spite of inevitable asphyxiation and gastric acid.

The chick tracts about Kali Ma and Baphomet really messed me up as a kid. >_>

I'm not sure why they felt the need to warn kids about Kali Ma and Baphomet. Those aren't really things many people talk about. Maybe the former was made in reaction to Temple of Doom? idk lol.

Or when he told Abraham to sacrifice his son Isaac to him, with no guarantee that he was going to stop it in the end.

Probably to play on people's fears of 9/11

Scandinavia got Christmas Calendars which is a televised advent calendar, one episode per day until Christmas.
In the 70s and 80s, religious groups had complained that it had been too much magic, fairies, trolls and santa, and demanded more Christianity to be included.
So in the middle of the 80s, they decided to make one about the life of Christ.
It was basically somebody reading a mix of the new testament books about Jesus to simple drawn pictures with some basic animation here and there.
It was pretty bad, but as a kid you watched it because you didnt have anything better to do.
The problem was when they decided to show when Herodes soldiers killed every young enough child, which was pretty graphical compared to the rest of the show.
It scared the hell out of me and tons of other kids. Heck, I ran out of the room every time a new episode started.
I dont know how graphical the ending was, but parts of me wants to know it now afterwards. Not sure if I wanted to see it as a kid.

What's Scandinavia's typical religious affiliation?

Why...why were they going to the airport?

You could portray Islam as good and true and Christianity as evil and false in almost the exact same way this comic did the opposite.

I was reborn as a man and died for your sins, then three days later I was revived and went up to heaven sitting next to my father.
...who is me... yeah, Im going to sit next to myself.

That and because they're implying they're about to reveal some awful truth that's going to invalidate the kid's religion and shatter his world view.

I love how grandpa looks like some bond villain from the 60s. They really went in hard with the badass war vet thing didn't they?
---

I'm shocked they didn't have the kid flip out on his mom or sister or whoever that was when they told him it's time to go. To emphasise women's role in islam

Wouldnt it be easier to just forgive them and spread the word with somebody like a new Moses? Or John the Baptist?
Yeah, you are all sinners, even if you do good for others your whole life. So Im going to forgive some of you by getting reborn by a virgin, because having sex with the Holy Spirit, which is me btw, doesnt remove your virginity, then getting killed by sinners, and in the last moment I will scream a prayer to myself to forgive everybody, then revive after three days so I can get to heaven and sit next to myself. And when you pray to me, you should do it in my son Jesus name, which is me but you must say my other name because otherwise I will throw you to hell because of lulz.

And this is why I cant believe in religion. It doesnt make any sense.

actually Abraham believed that God was going to resurrect his son

Hebrews 11
17 By faith Abraham, when God tested him, offered Isaac as a sacrifice. He who had embraced the promises was about to sacrifice his one and only son, 18 even though God had said to him, It is through Isaac that your offspring will be reckoned.[a] 19 Abraham reasoned that God could even raise the dead, and so in a manner of speaking he did receive Isaac back from death.

@OP I never would have guessed that Old Snake was a hardcore conservative christian.

Who will later rape me because they believe that they will never see a man again.

I had no idea that this was a thing

but i guess it gives some context to that "the people hated jesus because he told them the truth" meme
