Well, I’ll have my Warhammer Necron army coming with me. If you’re nice, I’ll let your Chewbacca command by Monolith.

Based on the way teh great sky faeries’s minions on Earth treat women, I’d say one cootie is far more effective than any number of action figures or animated pottery.
The problem is that if I got them, I wouldn’t leave them in bus stations or hand them out at Halloween, because the miserable sinners do not deserve any Sithrak tracts. Also, they don’t matter — Sithrak is going to slow roast you in agonizing agony no matter what you believe.
Sithrak, the god who hates you unreservedly, no matter what. Now, which other god does that remind me of…..

“No-one can prove it isn’t” is basically the justification for every religion, ever, so Sithrak is every bit as plausible as any other deity. I’m convinced.

Necron? I always thought you more of a Tau type.

While there is a strong resemblance to Jack Chick God in that first panel, Sithrak also reminds me of the God of the Westboro Baptist Church. I’m pretty sure that there are memetic connections between them, of course.
@PZ: Might want to bring some Gunpla models, if what my girlfriend says about hers in any indication. If clay can come alive and become real men with real weapons, imagine with a foot-high model of a skyscraper-sized robot with relativistic particle cannons could do!

Personally, I’m bringing my copy of Asura’s Wrath. Seeing all those people being tortured eternally for not believing will make Mithra cry, and the scenario comes to a predictable end.
Me? I’ll just bring a couple of Imperators along. And hope they don’t stand on me.

Also, fun fact: I can’t access some pages of FTB without the cunning use of filter circumvention techniques in my current location, but Oglaf? I have unrestricted access to Oglaf. I have more trouble viewing Grrl Power here than I do Oglaf. I should probably mention this to the IT peeps… but I don’t think I’m gonna.

There’s also scientist bobble heads. One could always enlist an army of them. Throngs of Galileo, Brahe, Kepler, Newton, Darwin, Huxley, Faraday, Maxwell, Planck, Einstein, Feynman, Dirac, Schroedinger, Heisenberg, Bohr, etc. bobble heads! And I would also have plenty of Lovelace, Leavitt, Franklin, etc. bobble heads.
My favorite might be the Brahe bobble heads. After all, he had an elk (which sadly died falling down the stairs when it got drunk – a fucking drunk elk!), a dwarf (how does one have a dwarf?), and a metallic nose. Certainly, a party animal. Worthy of celebration, no matter how big of an asshole he might have been. Lots of Brahe bobble heads.
Chick throne person could not stand up against the throng of science bobble heads.

So now we know why Sithrak hates everyone unreservedly.

Oh, I’m going to buy the tracts, can’t resist, damn Sithrak.

Hey! Sithrak ate the TITLE text. Bad Sithrak!
PZ Myers says
And look! You can get Sithrak Tracts at the Oglaf Store! Again, clearly modeled after Chick tracts.
The problem is that if I got them, I wouldn’t leave them in bus stations or hand them out at Halloween, because the miserable sinners do not deserve any Sithrak tracts. Also, they don’t matter — Sithrak is going to slow roast you in agonizing agony no matter what you believe.

Here’s an essay about the deconversion of Megan Phelps-Roper. People can change, sometimes.

The problem with the Tau is their attitude toward rural village governance.
