***** Heck, forget about failure about Catholicism -- he says "Protestants believe the Lord's Supper is Symbolic." [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sacrament_of_the_Body_and_Blood_of_Christ%E2%80%94Against_the_Fanatics Try telling that to Luther...]]

***** Specifically, there's [[http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0071/0071_01.asp this comic]] which outlines Chick's (and other's) views on the matter.

**** Um, how are Catholics not Christian?
***** Many Christian sects ''strongly'' [[BrokenBase disagree with each other]] on various things. To more radical Protestants, Catholics are iniquitous heretics who are going straight to hell. JackChick loves to portray the Pope as one of Satan's chief agents on earth.

* GlennBeck's dissection of [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xWL-pfCao-U "Communist" propaganda in the architecture of Rockefeller center]] must be seen to be believed (or [[{{Narm}} disbelieved]] as the case may be).
** GlennBeck repeatedly claims that there is [[CommieNazis Communist-Fascist-Socialist]] propaganda all around us that we cannot even see. [[WallBanger If people cannot even notice this propaganda without having it explicitly pointed out for them, it's not very good propaganda, now is it?]]
** To say nothing of JonStewart's theories regarding [[http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/thu-november-5-2009/the-11-3-project Beck's appendix]]! At least you know Jon's being funny ''on purpose''!
** Actually, one of Beck's claims is not as ridiculous as it sounds; "Man At The Crossroads", the mural by Diego Rivera, was in fact Communist propaganda, since Rivera was a socialist and intentionally [[WriterRevolt slipped images of Lenin, Trotsky, and other socialist imagery into the mural]]. [[DidNotDoTheResearch Which makes Glenn Beck's complaint even more absurd,]] because [[RedScare the mural was removed from Rockefeller Center for that exact reason.]]
*** The above is a false conflation of socialism and communism. Not that Beck is aware of any such distinction.

** Are you trying to say Twilight isn't the spawn of Satan?
*** Well, it ''is'', but the Dark Lord is much subtler than that. The Plan is to do Evil in the sense of sowing discord between the genders and make many suffer, and thereby turn from God, rather than to actively accrue worship of evil.

Some MoralGuardians are so paranoid that they'll attack the most ridiculous things, or [[{{Demonization}} will attack them in the most ridiculous ways possible]]. Essentially, they use InsaneTrollLogic to prove that something is TheNewRockAndRoll. There are a few favorite methods used:

Compare TheMoralSubstitute and InformedObscenity.

* ''{{Conservapedia}}'', although it's more like Everyone Is Liberals In Washington, DC.

* "Lucifer" means "light."

****** There are many crucial differences among protestant, Catholic, and Orthodox sects. Jack Chick calls Catholics satanic, Pope John paul II called protestants "ravenous wolves," and promiment members of both sects have said some very, very nasty things about Eastern Orthodoxy. Likewise, many Orthodox figures have said the same about the other two.

** Some people criticized a Pokemon card showing a Registeel raising its arm. Apparently, it resembled a Hitler salute. To the less paranoid, it just looks like it's raising its arm. [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_4d_379.png See the original sprite for yourself]].

** Arabic countries banned the game due to it containing a six-pointed star - because a six-pointed star was ''obviously'' stealth Jewish propaganda. More ridiculously, it's been claimed that "Pikachu" means "be a Jew," or worse, "stronger than God" by Latin America. (The truth is much more [[TastesLikeDiabetes benign and cutesy]]: both parts of the name are Japanese onomatopoeia, coming out to roughly "Sparklesqueak" in English.)
*** I thought Pikachu was named after pikas, which are small fuzzy animals.
**** Probably both explanations (sparklesqeak and pikas, that is) are right, due to the Japanese's [[JustForPun love of puns]].
*** Well, Pikachu in the ''series'' has been referred to as Godchu...

** Some people criticized a Pokemon card showing a Registeel raising its arm. Apparently, it resembled a Hitler salute. To the less paranoid, it just looks like it's raising its arm. [[http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/File:Spr_4d_379.png See the original sprite for yourself]]
*** Isn't the Nazi salute the ''right'' arm?

* Human Gotara-worshippers in ''ElfQuest'' are quick to blame just about anything unpleasant on "evil elf spirits", even if the elves have been suffering the same misfortunes all along (e.g. Madcoil's attacks).

** Maybe Dr. Pepper is a woman. Maybe they married and she kept her own name!
*** [[EightBitTheater "Dr. Pepper, Mr. Pibb, I'm onto you."]]

* Humans in ''ElfQuest'' are quick to blame just about anything unpleasant on the "evil elf spirits", even if the elves have actually been suffering the same misfortunes (e.g. Madcoil's attacks).

** It's probably worth noting that some of the accusations that ''Harry Potter'' was turning kids on to witchcraft came from an ''[[TheOnion Onion]]'' article that someone along the line didn't realize was a joke, forwarded to all their friends, and it blew up from there. DidNotDoTheResearch [[SoYeah indeed]].

** Don't forget the flap over Pokemon cards having occasional swastikas on them, thanks to the use of that symbol in Buddhism. Some people who DidNotDoTheResearch thought it meant Pokemon was encouraging Nazism, because after all, Japan and Germany are joined at the hip.
**The above is 100% INACCURATE. The only instance of a so-called "Swastika" appeared on [[http://pokegym.net/gallery/displayimage.php?imageid=45060 Koga's Ninja Trick]], and the symbol in question is actually a Manji, which is commonly identified with peace.
