I'm absolutely aware of the difference.
If you 'believe' the information you're disseminating to be true, then it cannot really be defined as propaganda.
Whether or not his books were oppressive or hateful is just a matter of opinion, which you're also entitled to...

Don't know who that is, but I've got to agree with Huggy. This is a little too morbid and fucked up for my taste.

Yeah, god forbid we don't have any compassion for someone that made it his life mission to spread hate-filled ignorance and lies. Excuse me if I don't shed a tear for a raging asshole that lived to the ripe old age of 92.
I know what you're thinking. But, FNM, where's your empathy for the guy that propagated the notion that homosexuality is caused by a demonic possession brought on by rape and child molestation? I guess you'll have to color me intolerant for hate-mongering.

This one especially made it personal. Exhorting the faithful to fuck with my tribe in regards to basic civil liberties was/is evil.
I encountered this tract as an adult, after 'coming out', I can't help but wonder how many teens were damaged by this one, or were damaged by followers that think the tracts are just okily-dokily.
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

But, you see, it's just a matter of opinion and beliefs whether doing that damage is a-ok or not.

I used to listen to a radio show called loveline back in the day, and I'd say about 90% of the homosexual callers admitted to being sexually molested, now if you'd like me to look up specific episodes and quotes, I can do that.
Does this mean that sexual abuse causes homosexuality? I don't know, but evidence would suggest...
let me ask you something, if homosexual males account for 83% of HIV diagnoses ( *among males), why is it being portrayed as if HIV affects everyone equally?
You do realize AIDS used to be called GRIDS (Gay-related immune deficiency).
But in today's society making those sort of connections somehow means you hate gays...

He was clearly a sick twisted fuck.
I just searched for the Lisa tract through Google and managed to find a site reviewing the tract. Such a disturbing one. The last picture panel was very disconcerting to read. For those curious, there's a reason Jack Chick was pressured to take it off his site. Don't go looking for it if you get easily disturbed.

The irony of people flaming a certain forum member for lacking empathy, yet THEIR lack of empathy is fine as long as it's towards someone who believes differently.
People have scolded me with artillery. If you can't up your game to that level, stay home.
