My siblings are watching a VeggieTales video on bunnies or something.

I realize how similar the plot is to a Chick Tract.

Sure, the message, plot, intention, all that stuff is different. But the whole idea of "evil antireligion badguy does stuff to goodguys, Jesus saves goodguys with holymagic, badguys either repent or die b/c God" is the same.

Don't take this as flaming or hating. I'm just observing a similar structure in different texts... one of which is idiotic, yes, but I like how the VegTales episode says "do what you think is right." Message is great and fine.

Because seriously? I would not die for my beliefs. I would sing for the psychopath and then escape and report him to the police.

Spoiler: plot (click to show/hide)

Rack, Shack, and Benny work hard at chocolate factory. Bad factory owner capitalist (ow, my brain - shouldn't they be saying capitalism is good? how can christians argue that placing money above god is bad?[/sarcasm]) requires them to abandon God because he's an evil atheist or ignoramus, either way he's an evil psychopath. Throws them into furnace because they don't sing about how teh BUNNIE is the best thing ever, but God saves the day and evilignoramuspsychopath suddenly is saved by God and everybody dances.

Edit: It was a typo and an ironic spoiler. Except it's not ironic because it's the actual intended purpose of the spoiler button, although it's more commonly used for other purposes in these forums, to the point that spoilers have to be tagged with spoiler in addition to the spoiler button. wtf?

you legitimately just ended a spoiler tag with [/sarcasm]

i mean i don't mind because it's a frigging veggietales spoiler but that's kinda funny

[Furtuka]

Isn't that one supposed to be a modernized version of a story from the bible? I vaguely remember reading about that somewhere.

[Orange Wizard]

Veggietales is hilarious, 10/10.

It still reads like one of Chick's nightmares. Remember the one where this guy with the hat that made his head look like a penis asked the evil Bobby to turn in his family for believing that Christ is the Son of GOD or something ridiculous like that?

Note that I'm ambiguous to exactly what I am saying is ridiculous. You can't prove anything! I'm talking about the penishat!

Oooook... Now Yokai Watch has the ghost responsible for people suffering from heat stroke in hot tubs, drowning, and dying.

That is... Dark.

Goodness I'll stick to Pokémon which just has pokemon that floats people 100feet and then drops them to their death, or ones that drags children to hell.

I wonder what Pokémon you can catch in hell.

Where do you think Yokai Watch is set? Obviously in Pokemon's Hell.

[Furtuka]

Uh just to make sure, you are aware that Yokai and their various types are an actual japanese folklore thing right?

...though now I'm curious. Does Yokai Watch have the giant skeleton born from mass graves that's literally fueled by burning hate in it?

Don't forget the ones that burn your soul as fuel......we never see the fires not lit.

Aye, it is indeed.

Bunny worship guy is Nebuchadnezzar, who invited these three Jewish guys (Presumably the VeggieTales cast) to a big party or something.  At the big party or something, when there was a fanfare, all were to prostrate themselves and worship Nebuchadnezzar (or an idol, or something) or be thrown in a giant fire.  They didn't, but an angel saved them.

The end, etc.

...and I wondered where Chick got his ideas...

[TheBiggerFish]

The Old Testament can get pretty weird sometimes, yeah.

Isn't this, like, LITERALLY, a Bible story? I mean, verbatim. Sounds like an adaptation about the tale of Nebuchedadnezzar throwing Daniel in an oven for not worshipping his god instead of the hebrew one

Edit: ninjaed

[TheBiggerFish]

@ChairmanPoo:It wasn't Daniel, it was Shadrach, Mesach, and Abednego?  I'm going from memory on those spellings, but yeah.  I know they started with those letters at least.
