There's this whole Jack Chick knockoff world that has been around for decades despite having the worst arguments.
It's a little amusing that they correcty identify that calling evolution a religion is an insult.
Excellent point
My favorite is the one about the evils of D&D. It ends with the protagonist literally entering a Warlock pact with Jesus as their Celestial patron, sealed with a ritual book burning.
Nice. My favorite is the college professor getting schooled by a Christian student. "Oho, you think quarks are real? You cannot even see them. The only force holding atoms together is the power of Jesus Christ."
I'd say I could feel damn well these subatomic forces when I stomped my little toe on the sharp angle of my furniture. They are way too tangible to be invisible forces
Have you seen the one called "Are Roman Catholics Christians?"
Or the one made entirely to shit on a lady in Bible study who dares question something about Christianity.
The entire series is blindly hypercritical of everything and has no idea it's a joke. It's incredible.
There's tracts on Muslims too.
This seems like an amazing concept, I did a quick search but couldn't find any already written description of using real-world religious figures as warlock patrons.
I also want to play with Buddha or Kim Il-Sung as a patron
Anyone who knows literally anything about evolution knows what a strawman this is.
"we didn't come from monkeys"
"correct, and you also didn't come from your 5th cousins John and Ester." (as far as we know)
Their names are Johann and Esther, okay? And yes, I do. Sincerely, Mr. Habsburg.

"Published"...
It's someone who named their Twitter account "creationism"
Chick Tracts are still being published. That's where that cartoon came from and what OP meant by "they're still being published".
Well I published a paper the other day, properly annoted, with citations... it's basically "God is good, Jews are bad" written 777 times, where each iteration refers to the previous statement, which I published through the renowned public journal known as Facebook.
Check mate, acedem-I mean atheists.
Funny how that works, when you stop believing in bullshit once you get educated. No wonder they hate education so much.
Still being published, but they aren't making new ones now that Chick is dead as far as I know.
Plus, they're highly entertaining and I seriously doubt they converted anyone because Chick's whole theory was that many people have never actually heard of Jesus and once they hear about them, they'll be Christians.
I don't know if they converted anyone, but I'm sure they're partially responsible for more than one person questioning their faith when their parents made them hand out those tracts in front of stores instead of having Christmas or Halloween.
This should be in religiouscringe.
I didn't know it existed
Not daddy. Cousin. Very distant cousin.
But then all animals, plants and microbes are also distant cousins.
Our Sun is a second- or third-generation star. All of the rocky and metallic material we stand on, the iron in our blood, the calcium in our teeth, the carbon in our genes were produced billions of years ago in the interior of a red giant star. We are made of star-stuff -- Carl Sagan

Thats the funniest picture ever drawn
I mean, people didn’t stop being stupid so….

Why must religion insist on being mutually exclusive with the theory of evolution?
Because it's a control scheme. One of the ways this method of control works is to differentiate themselves from the wider world by claiming to have some special knowledge that a commonly held facet of reality is wrong and only they understand what the truth of the matter is.
Dunno. But I guess that's because a lot of the religious discourse relies on the idea that humanity - or at least, some human group - is the special snowflake ultimate creation of the gods. While biological evolution shows that we're yet another species of animals.
The Yahweh character in the OT is a science illiterate. He freaked out when the Babylonians build a 50 meter tall ziggarut and thought they could reach outer space (100,000 meters for sub-orbital).
You don't have to belive. You need to fact-check if they are.
.... just kidding 😂
