Shut Up a Proselytizer in Two Minutes

Here's my favorite Chick Tract. There's even a cheesy good movie that stays very close to the source material. Heres a snippet

Chick.com: Dark Dungeons

Debbie thought playing Dungeons and Dragons was fun...until it destroyed her friend.

This reminds me of the movie Reefer Madness.
It's an old movie intended to warn people of the dangers of cannabis use, but it's presented in such an outrageous and unintentionally funny way that it ironically became a cult hit among stoners.

Because it's Groundhogs Day here and we're all Bill Murray, I also like that movie. It's right up my "absurdly silly" alley that I like in movies. Like that guy fiending for some reefers like he'd been smoking crack the whole time.
Have you seen the version with colored smoke? It's a blast seeing all the fun smoke colors they exhale. Makes me wish it really worked like that, lmao.

Pass the sick bag, Alice.

It is pretty nasty how psychologically predatory they are.

 

[Shadow Wolf]

But then, good old Jack has a comic on that topic too...a perfect example of what I can't quite se

Truly, I've only known those into dark humor and ex-fundies who get a laugh out of them. There's probably others who do, but mostly everybody else it seems absolutely loves them or find them absolutely abhorrent amd disconcerting.

Inspired by @dfnj's OP I was accosted by a couple of Born-again Christians while fishing I like to debate the best methods to get out of a conversation you don't want to have about someone else's religion.

What did you do and was it successful?

Who needs two minutes? I just
give them a "I don't understand " look
and say something in Cantonese.

No, I haven't.
I haven't even seen the movie entirely.
Not because I didn't like it, but I was so tired that evening I decided to cut it short and go to bed and save it for another appropriate moment to watch it.

I give them a death stare until they go away. It's never failed.

I suppose you could utter the names of the Great Old Ones, start chanting Iä! Iä! Iä! And tell them the real Goat, Shub-Niggurath, has a 1000 young who will terrorize the world and dread Cthulhu will feast on their immortal souls.

I don’t run into it often because I am rather introverted and rarely socialize outside of work or the internet. I would love to hang a sign that says, “If I keep having to find Jesus, I’m putting a tracker on him.”

What the hell's a chick tract? I've never heard of such a thing.

Jack Chick died and I laughed. He drew incredibly ignorant and racist comic books.

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

That's my local parish.

Chick tracts are horrible cartoons which threaten you with hell for anything to try to make you convert. They're like brimstone sermons on paper.

I've no clue, I was very surprised. I noticed he only used KJV too.

Hannah and Jake’s YouTube channel have great reviews.

 

[Kelly of the Phoenix]

Yikes. I'm not sure I'd ever want a proselytizer to have my personal info.

I mean, if they're proselytizing door-to-door, then they know my address, but I don't want them knowing any more about me than absolutely necessary.

If someone thinks it's reasonable to proselytize on a street corner, then I'm not going to put it last them to also think that it's reasonable for them to proselytize one-on-one by breaking into my house.

Give them a blank one and tell them only God can read it.

I didn't know he had died. I guess because I don't really care.

Doesn't matter much anyways because othera continue to manufacture and disteibute his poisons and toxins.

This chant I cam verify, through personal anecdotal evidence, has scared some Christian types. It will silence them and send then running in less than two minutes.

What was successful with me when I approached the person to share Jesus with him, he replied, "For me to want Jesus, I have to have a need for him. Right now I have no need of him". I replied, "Good enough"... and smiled and went on.

You might try "I really don't want to talk about that right now. I want a quiet time alone fishing". If they have any respect, they should move on.

Weirdly enough, my universalist Hindu mother managed to chase away door knocking Jehovah’s Witnesses once.
She invited them to join her prayer ritual. The younger brother seemed curious but respectfully declined, the older one was horrified and never returned.
