San Diego Comic-Con 2016 was a blast. Even though I didn't have a ticket to get into the convention center (I eventually snagged a pass to get in and gave Daniel Clowes
my mini-comix), I took the trip to SD to promote the new Chick tract parody I created,
"Trump Is The Antichrist" ( the tract promotes the film I wrote and produced,
Ivy League Exorcist: The Bobby Jindal Story;
watch it here). To prepare for the promotion, I created a superhero costume "Hipsterman" and made a sign to carry outside of the convention center and in the Gaslamp District of downtown San Diego. Hundreds of people had their picture taken with me (see pics below). The Trolli candy company
nominated me for their "most weirdly awesome costume" contest. I publicly debated
Ray Comfort of Living Waters about theology and postmodernism and was interviewed by Vice TV. I had a great time!
I collected a copious amount of swag and paper ephemera at SDCC. One of my favorite acquisitions was "WWJD: Who Would Jesus Damn?" by Eternal Evangelism. It's a two-sided leaflet and is straight to the point: those who face The Lake of Fire are fornicators, idolators, adulterers, the effeminate [!], Sodomites, thieves, the covetous, drunkards, revilers, cowards, unbelievers, partiers, "sorcerers-druggies," liars, the lustful, porn watchers, immodest women, hypocrites, and the hateful & spiteful. This list reminds me of the "doorways to demonic possession" list I include in all of my Chick tract parodies. The other side of the tract, full of Bible verses, is below.
The museum had previously featured a similarly-themed tract "WWJD: Who Would Jesus Destroy?" by PinPoint Evangelism; Read about it here.
