1. WTF?
That sort of has a "Zippy the Pinhead" subtle side to it, eh? I don't know the characters.

6. (As Metaphor)By saying some people are zombies and some are not.
You create a situation where you can put your group above another. Also the zombie movies were about despair and violence. So you got to flip it.

Take away the violence, and suddenly eating brain may be opening the heart and not just thinking without feeling. People that do not use there heart, think those that do don't have brains.

And when someone shows love to a non feeling person, sometimes they become like them, they 'turn' and then the self proclaimed living have to throw them under the bus, because they now feel as well as think. And thinking with feeling, to some people, seems to be not thinking or being a zombie.(there are also control consumerism stories in it.)

The zombie metaphor without violence, the zombies are the good guys, but you have to flip a whole bunch of it. Like that they are not dead, they are not violent, they don't want to hurt the self proclaimed living. Stuff like that.

In Shawn of the Dead, just before anyone turns to a zombie they become kind, because in the view of some groups zombies are the ones that do not think with only logic and no feeling.

Plus methods of handling so called zombies, is the same way that the few can control the many, snipe from a distance, don't let them see you or they will then call others, they outnumber the few, they are uncoordinated, they are killed by stopping the brain. Standard thoughts about average people in society. Also the few get everything free in the shopping mall.(not creating envy, just pointing it out)

Turn off all the violence in the film, and you see a story of one group claiming to be better then another, and not understanding the other group, because of differences of what is important Ann Rand style just intelligence, or also compassion.

7. I'm going to go put some wine and plantains before my St. Barbara candle
do some chanting, and send some healing energy in Chick's way.

He's clearly a very sick man. :(

8. He's really an immature, angry person.
When i was a child i used to draw pictures and comics of my enemies being tortured or going to hell, we all did at some point in our lives but most of us grew out of it. Jack has created his own fantasy world where he and the god he created, can torture people he doesn't like.

14. Yeesh! They are pulling out all the stops.
That's the craziest Chick tract I've ever seen. Usually they just damn someone to hell for some basic Bible blasphemy.Now they are taking on God and everybody. I guess Scientologists and Jehova's Witnesses are next.
