Most americans have see those horrible little comics by a very horrible little man named jack chick, who i call "Jack Prick". Many people in non american countries haven't seen them as they are so riddled with hate and intolerance that many countries have banned them.

Many people believe in them, many more find them to be masterpieces of unintentional comedy, much as real marijuana users view "Reefer madness" as a comedy today.

So, in different ways, they are considered entertainment by a lot of people.

These comics are pretty invariably riddled with straw men and appeals to force along  other weak arguments and logical fallacies.

Speaking as a RPG player I can tell you prick's attack on D&D, "Dark dungeons" has about as much to do with real D&D players as reefer madness had to do with real marijuana users, like 8 time gold medal olypimc athlete Michael Phelps.  It did get a lot of kids D&D books burned by idiot parents, thank you jack prick.

Here's one of the most laughed at prick tracts. I know some folks here are int D&D, so I hope it entertains them.|

One tract of his that was so utterly insane that it was mostly hard to be offended at because it was so confusing was "the last generation". This is a "Seriously, WTF?!?!?!" tract. http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0094/0094_01.asp

Another tract was so throughly destroyed by critics prick had to rewrite it 10 years later. Ironically when he rewrote it he simply either uses or denied ppoints made in the most devastating rebuttal t one of his tracts ever written.

The original is hard to find now, as he's removed it as much as he could, but here's a video with a snarky soundtrack added on. (Hint: Snark is not a valid argument)

If you look at the parody of the original version here:

And the new version here: http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0055/0055_01.asp

you see prick reworte it specifically because the original was horribly flawed and easily destroyed. He in fact used information from the parody. He claimed gluons are not real and a made up dream, but the theorys concerneing them have been validated.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gluon

One way or another a lot of people see prick's tracts as entertaining, that's for sure, and they're mostly an american things now due to them being banned in many nations.
The doctor that circumcised Trump threw away the wrong piece.
