For everyone else, including the people who were talking about how modesty of all kinds is a good thing, let me make it clear that this is about some pretty specific crap up there. This thread in particular is great about discussing the hottest of hot button topics openly, sensitively, and without wallowing in ugliness. It’s very possible to talk about this without going full . In fact if you want to see great examples of that there are plenty of other posters doing exactly that in this thread.

Jupiter Jazz posted:No one said anything about being treated "less than human". This is your own personal supposition and failure. Everyone has already responded well to everything you've said but I want to pick on this 'objectification' is literally treating someone as an object rather than a whole person Like that's... What that word means.

There aren't any religions, Islam included, that preach dehumanization or breaking down humans into sets of interchangeable parts. Religion to me involves finding the humanity in everyone.

Coming back and reading this after work, let me apologize for not reading more closely and trying to engage with that stuff credulously. edit: and for any Muslim lurkers this is not a reaction to Islam as a faith. Doing some quick reading the views expressed here today don't seem to be much in keeping with mainstream Islamic thought but I'd much rather hear commentary and reflection from Muslims and people that have studied the faith more than a quick google search.

One of the regulars at the cafe I work at handed me a Chick-Tract with his name and number on it and said “Read this and call me; I’d love to chat with you about it!” Fortunately he did not ask me my religious affiliation. Funny timing as I’m leaving for the monastery for 2 weeks on Sunday. If you could say a quick prayer for me that this experience is fruitful I would appreciate it.

One of your coworkers probably mentioned it to him in small talk since it is pretty unusual and interesting and he took that as an invitation. Which one was it? The Buddhist chick tract is super-lame it’s just a rich Asian dude everyone loves going to hell, they don’t even print it anymore. All the other non-Protestant religions got delightful rabid nonsense about moon gods and satanic conspiracies and Buddhists just get a form letter.

Thirteen Orphans posted:I’m Catholic, I’m not sure how unusual and interesting that is. A monastery stay is and chick tracts and the people who give them out don’t consider Catholics “true christians”. There was a megaphone street preacher around here who got a slot in an Easter Day parade (it used city funds so it couldn’t discriminate on religion I think) where he made quite a few anti-papal viewpoints known. Same dude does his schtick for a big fundraiser the archdiocese holds for their orphanage each year because it sells beer, has gambling and also involves Catholics. I spoke to a dude from his church filming him and they were actually anabaptist (I was surprised by this) and extremely angry and filled with grievance about persecution from the reformation era. They were naming specific events. Gaius Marius posted:Pretty sure chick thinks Catholics worship baphomet or some such thing. Idk las time a saw a chick tract it was on a urinal at the Costco. Appropriate location I think I’ve found two chick tracts both urinal-based. This is a favored planting location apparently.

I used to find them in the can at a specific chinese restaurant in Poplar Bluff, Missouri every time I went there. I frequently find them on unrented tables at a local flea market in Michigan. I throw them away.

I've always wanted to rewrite a Chick Tract into weird Orthobro nonsense, but I've never been quite bored enough to do it.

Appropriate location I think Roman Catholics, according to Chick tracts, secretly worship Baal (which one? Who knows), unknown to most rank and file Catholics. The Vatican also created like...Islam, Freemasonry, the Nazis, and other stuff. Mary is also Isis, I think? Anyway, it's all.....SATAN! Satan all the way down!

The only time Ive gotten a chick tract, i was approached directly by a very sweet old woman in the subway station. She didn't seem to do this for anyone else so maybe something about my appearance had her concerned for me? It was one of the very generic 'did you know? hell exists and you're going!' ones at least, less offensive than some of the others.

I want to share this tract I got where the tract itself was deemed too lewd for the public and each one was individually censored by the person giving them out.

Worthleast posted:Do you have the typo in Exodus about Moses having horns as well, or is that just a St. Jerome thing? It's not a typo, but a mistranslation. Keren in Hebrew is a ray, a line that emerges from a single point. So that got translated as "horn."
