No problem!
I've read every tract he's ever done, mostly for humor and partly so I know what lies he's spewing in case I ever encounter them in the real world.
No, no it does not.
Isn't it against the rules? Where would it go, SE++?
Wasting someone's time to harass them based on their beliefs doesn't make you a jerk?
If he went into the mormon's home and did so maybe.
You seem to be conveniently ignoring the fact that these people came to his home in order to harass him.
Politely knocking on someone's door constitutes harassment? He could have just told them to go away and they would have.

The Jewish version is that god will let you escape with your puny life as long as you say "uncle" and don't turn around. He even let David keep his crown after the crap he pulled.
No, they came to his home to ask him if they could share their beliefs with him.
He agreed, and then instead did something highly inappropriate, solely because of their faith.
He could have just as easily politely said no, and let them be on their way, without wasting their time.
Agreed, you come into a mans house you got no cause to be upset over the kinda porn he has goin' on his teevee.
The story says he specifically turned it on, in order to bother the Mormons. It wasn't like they interrupted him watchin' some mansex.
Putting on some gay porn on mute is no more deeply offensive than what they (or indeed any missionary) are trying to "share" with him.
You see, Sniper Guy, Disco's gay friend displayed obscene material to the hated Christians. They're sub-human so it's okay to insult them. Heck! Offending Christians will get you all sorts of kudos from your internet chums.
If Disco's friend did what he did to real people he invited inside, he would have been a jerk. Now let's all watch some youtube videos of people throwing water balloons at Christians on the doorstep and we'll go out for frosty, chocolate milkshakes afterward.
I think it depends on intent here. If they came over with the goal of telling him what a rotten homo he was and that he was going straight to hell for fudge packing, then it is completely OK to subject them to gay porn and I say the more perverted the better. If on the other hand they wander over simply for the sake of saying stupid mormon stuff it is not OK to turn on the prono, just tell them to GTFO.
Not that there is anything wrong with being a dick for the sake of being a dick, if it get's him a laugh, fuck it. But it still makes him a jerk.
I'm not seeing the big distinction you are trying to make.
Uh. So if it was a door to door vacuum salesman, and he did that, it'd be bad?
(Spoiler: It's a douche thing to do either way)
Deliberatly going out of your way to offend someone is a dickish thing to do. Asking someone if they'd like to hear about Jesus isn't. If they say no, and you continue telling them about Jesus, yes, that's a dickish thing to do.
Ew, back hair.
Gross.
It's that time again!

He was trying to show his wares. It just so happens that his wares were gay porn.
I wonder if there's a market for door-to-door gay porn salesmen.
I'm assuming the child is some sort of stylist.
Whether you can comfort yourself by internally justifying it when you act like an asshole is up to you.
my unofficial autobio will be accompanied with tips on how to smile
cause I've found that when they don't see you frown, they never know that you're a threat
and they don't sweat you when you came around

Ahhh, love to see a bunch of black people hating on gays.
Well, I was too I guess
I have more of that if it's what you want
I've read most of the tracts over the years. They are amusing, but I have to constantly remind myself that they're deadly serious.
The "death cookie" is one of my favorites.

can't ever go wrong with Chick Tracts. Fundie Christianity outreach programs are hilarity incarnate.
Well, to jump in here, he did ask them what their thoughts on homosexuality was and they went on about how gays will burn in hell and all that. Only after this did he do it. You guys can debate it all you want but I got a smile from the story.
He does have this think about springing man-love porn on people though!

Anyway, being a jerk to door-to-door missionaries is awesome
The accented black guy is just the loud one.
Death cookie... it's like a Saturday morning cartoon or something
Wait wait, he's railing against communion? Of all the things in Catholic dogma to rail against ritualized symbolic cannibalism isn't one of them.
Chick is violently anti-Catholic. Which, you know, I'm not a Catholic myself but the nightmare world he makes Catholics live in is insane. All Catholic characters in a Chick tract are fat/ugly/evil. Every last one of them.

God's just so matter-of-fact about John's eternal damnation
I bet there's people out there who really are interested in saving money on their long distance bill, too. It's still no excuse to interrupt dinner, it's just politicians once again exempting themselves from "everyone else's rules".
And political marketers aren't interested in informing people about shit, they're interested in winning. They'll no more discuss their side's flaws than a Coke commercial will talk about diabetes. At least when Billy Mays and Vince Offer were "informing" me about stuff they were entertaining.
Sorry for being the one to point this out, but it's fucking true.
And man made God in his image. The ego in the first frame alone is astounding.
