Most interesting, I thought (and entertaining as well), was that while Chick discusses at length the origins of Catholicism being EVIL and whatnot, he fails to mention the fact that virtually every modern form of Christianity has it's roots in early Catholicism...I'm also curious how Chick reconciles the hypocrisy of spouting off random verses of the bible willy-nilly, when the Bible he reads is the selection of books chosen by the early church founders he vilifies.
It's actually a pretty smooth argument on his part, if odd as hell. By saying that the Catholic Church is EVIL, he can then claim that only the bad religions have violent history. Crusades? Not his brand of Christianity, it was the Antichrist Pope! His brand of Christianity is nothing but peace! AND it exists because God's Will says so, despite Rome's EVIL. (sort of like a Philip K Dick book)
And for the bible, I think one of the tracts explained that it was God-ordained ineffiable plan stuff that gave us the bible, so even though it was put together by EVIL it was God's Will that made it what it is.... |
