I never thought I'd live to say this, but Jack Chick® is right.

I wholeheartedly agree. I've always thought Chick tracts to be very informative and Biblically accurate. I'm sure that many thousands have made decisions to turn their lives to Christ through powerful messages presented in these tracts. I can't understand all the Jack Chick bashing here.

Perhaps its because despite whatever skill Mr. Chick has with Biblical accuracy it is clear that JC has a very flimsy grasp on reality. He loves to write about the "evils" of society but his presentation is more absurd than even the most stereotypical strawman argument. Fortunately it does leave his workings open to very easy ridicule. One of my favourite "commentaries" on a JC tract is the MST3K-izing of "Dark Dungeons". It exposes the lies told by those who demonize of roleplaying games like D&D as the nonsense that it truly is.

I don't believe that most of us who dispute the negative interpretation of the "Harry Potter" stories are in conflict with Mr Chick's message.

Rather, we dispute his interpretation of the intent & meaning of the stories.

"Harry Potter,"--much like "Star Wars,"--lucidly demonstrates the Evil of "The Dark Side of 'The Force!'"

Both stories are Fantasies--clearly labled as such!

Both stories CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE that "Evil" is seductive, possibly profitable in the short term, but, ultimately, a horrifically destructive force.

Both stories are delightful, wonderfully written Morality Plays. Most children understand this fact well.

Apparently, Mr Chick & his supporters give Parents & their kids little credit for Orientation to the World they dwell in, or ability to distinguish Fantasy from Reality!

Fortunately, he underestimates ALL of us......
