Kids get plenty of candy so this year, I thought I'd make a healthier
treat for them.

I'm going to make a big bowl of scrambled eggs. Each kid can take a
handful.

I wonder how many folk, over the years, have ordered a bunch of
copies of that one, and gave it out in a bag of candy to trick-or-treaters.

I love the details, like in this one, how the Devil is wearing a serpent
on a necklace.

I still think these tracts are parodies, but fundies think they are "real", lol...

Whatever, "Jack Chick" has made a fortune off of these...

Their crude cartoon style reminds of old Cold War era Soviet anti - US cartoons published in
Pravda and the like... Uncle Sam is shown with sharp fangs, a bunch of nuclear missles marked
"NATO" hanging out of his back pocket; "revanchist" West German leaders are shown as slobbering dogs,
top - hatted Wall Street capitalists are shown as greedy pigs stomping on poor workers, etc:

https://www.rbth.com/history/329103-15-soviet-anti-american-posters

"15 Soviet anti-American posters from the Cold War

When propaganda artists from the USSR were tasked with showing what the U.S.. ‘was really like’ to the
Soviet masses, they didn’t hold back in portraying the Americans collectively as the ugly old
capitalist, Uncle Sam..."

"SHUSH - don't tell GRAHAM...!!!" ;-D

I like this comment on the vid:

"I wonder if anyone has ever thought about taking all the books of the Bible both Hebrew and Christian
and doing a computer analysis of the writing to determine how many authors were involved in each
book. I think that would solve many of the mysteries if we could determine where a text is clearly
shown to be interpolated or the work of many authors. I think many of these hypotheses could be
verified or disproven in a more scientific way..."

you're such a peach Ed!

i've never done haunted houses but i heard that they
make noodles and have people put their hands in and
say they are brains. perhaps scrambled eggs are close
enough?

I had to ask my artificial friend: "When someone is called a peach, it
means that they are very pleasing or attractive. It is a term of
endearment or compliment."

I actually had a very nice Halloween. My late wife collected dolls.
Some very nice high quality, many porcelain. The first two trick or
treaters were two girls, about 5-6 yo. They were very happy when they
got the candy, but I said "don't go away" Ran into the house grabbed
two baby dolls and gave them to the girls.

Not sure who was happier in the end. It is what my wife would have
wanted.

Back in Toronto, my friend wired up an old oil furnace
ignitor transformer with some coat hanger wire to make a
real 'Jacob's ladder' he hooked up to his porch light.

For safety, it was in clear view from his front door
window and he would just run it for a few seconds after
the kid rang the doorbell.

If you truly believe in the Bible’s commands, and you seek to follow those, it’s impossible to be a hateful person because the greatest command in the Bible is that you love God with everything you had, and you love your neighbor as yourself...

You mean, would the insurance pay the coroner?
