Pious churchie cartoons are funny...
When I was a young lass -- in elementary school and impressionable -- there was a phone booth just outside of our favourite candy store, and just blocks away from the school.
Every so often, some Christian fundamentalists would leave Chick cartoons... strangely amusing, hyberbolic accounts of how the devil is winning the fight for your soul. There are always tears, fires of hell and elaborate hysterics which end in someone being saved and praying for their soul (along with little snippets of the bible for source material).
Today, while I deposited a couple of cheques (including a $5 one from one particular publication who never cease to amaze me with their cruddy pay rate), I saw one of the little black cartoon books on the floor beneath the bank machine. I brought it home... and giggled all the way through it.
It was called "No Fear", and here is Chick's (makers of this fine art) description of it:
Suicide...The subject is common among teens today. But when Lance decides it is the only way out of his troubles, he discovers that hell is not the party place described in popular songs.
So if you're a particularly heathenish type with a healthy sense of humour when it comes to all this soul-saving claptrap, I would suggest checking out these marvelously righteous and indignant samples of fundamentalism at its youthful, useless and intolerant best. Oh, such fodder for amusement!

And now you too can read about the dangers of Islam on your mortal soul, how Jesus' blood is the only thing that can remove blood stains on the carpet, about mean Bob who almost dies in jail, and many other tales of sinners who must suffer until they repent...
Heh. Funny shit.
