Ah, but they already want to hear it. :) Preaching to the choir in one's PJs, that is. They may listen, but outsiders laugh their heads off.

Umm...no, actually, I meant people who are at that moment non-Christians, but need the sort of structured forgiveness message that Christianity tends to give, and it happens to reach them at the time in which they're ready to hear it. You'd be surprised at the number of converts Jack can actually be credited with.

Well, I do know...

That they scared the crap out of me when I was a kid, those end times ones... now, of course, they're worth a giggle... I cruise his site sometimes.

Somewhere, I have a Pagan tract based on those...

I've seen it, the one with the pagan couple who put up Solstice decorations at Christmas time? Including the great big penis for the Horned God? And who are having Great Rites in front of the kids in the backyard, with the son pounding the ritual drum? *giggle*

Oh, no, this one is a different one - though I'd like to see that one! This one is a Pagan couple who explain to a couple of Mormons who visit them all about why they aren't children of Jehovan... it's cool. Wonder if they were both put out by the same people?

Huh. What do you mean by "structured forgiveness"? The whole "accept Christ and you'll be forgiven" thing?

An organized religion, with a list of rules and a fairly clear-cut "This is good, this is bad" and how to fix it when you've already messed up. Of course, a huge number of people who "accept Christ" in this particular culture already were Christians by belief, and rebellious by nature. It's just a matter of deciding to "be good" from then on. It's hard not to grow up a Christian, at least in basic cultural outlook, in this country.

Hm. I sort of see what you mean. Although, I probably am one of these people, so. :/ But I prefer to live by my own interpretation of the bible, not someone else's.

I didn't say there was anything *wrong* with it. Some of my best friends are Christians. It's just that most people who aren't of an extremely conservative version never really know how many people are actually reached (and not just amused or infuriated) by Chick tracts.
