antix Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Those little comic books that are used to evangelize. He started off just preaching and then went into this huge anti catholic stage and suggested that the muslims were started by the catholic church. Many christians are like lipitor: if you take it for yrs, you get fucked up. Same thing, I see many christians go off the deep end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
London Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I just love those! We used to find them all over town when I was a kid. They are like this evil comic book always warning you about the terror that lurks just around the corner. I have considered downloading some of them and re-writing them, and then reposting them online for the entire world to do as they please with them. I know it's not legal to do that but it's always been an idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 It really would be fun. I was searching their site a few months back because I thought it would be fun to rewrite them from the perspective of all the errors in the bible. Or even write them with the storylines that they don't want to hear, like slavery, incest, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GardenerGal Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 imo, the funniest video on the internet, EVER. I missed that one - so funny. "This sweet thing is mine" -- wow... Why do they call it "chick" tracts? Chick meaning children? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akheia Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 This is a fun site that dissects a few of these Chick tracts. If you can find the spoof of "Dark Shadows," that's one to catch, and there are ones that play upon Pascal's Wager (one of Chick's favorite apologetics)--what if Cthulhu is right? What if Zeus is the only real god? Jack Chick is the guy who began the company. He's the artist who did most of the older tracts (like I suspect this one is). There's another artist who works with him now but I don't know his name. Chick's like a hundred years old at this point and he is a genuine fucknut--he's never met a conspiracy theory he didn't like. My Evil Ex would throw these awful little comic books around like a cat strewing litter in a box. His favorite was "Somebody Loves Me," and he didn't understand why it was such a horrible example of the breed. But Dusty hopefully is aware of copyright stuff; Chick is pretty famous for going after what he perceives as unfair use like the little rat terrier he is. Though I will say that of the fundie men I knew, every single one was avoiding illegal activities because he was terrified of prison rape. My Evil Ex was especially scared of it. It's pathetic and evil that Chick is preying upon that fear like he is. It's one of the bigger guns in his manipulation arsenal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

owen652 Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Romans 14:23 ESV But whoever has doubts is condemned if he eats, because the eating is not from faith. For whatever does not proceed from faith is sin. according to the bible, even the very act of doubting is sinful (what isn't?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunaticheathen Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I collect Chick tracts, for the lulz. Also, an excuse to remove the garbage out of reach of weaker minds. But mostly for the lulz.

I always take xian propoganda when people hand it to me because it's one less paper they give someone else (I just trash them) and it costs them money. Just one more way we can stick it to the man!

Chikirin Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 In college an visiting evangelist took us out evangelizing, one of his pieces of advice was that we not use tracts, but if we did, to make sure we never used Chick tracts because they were offensive. After college i was looking at churches, and went out evangelizing with their evangelizer guy, and he was like "I recommend these tracts, they are really great! THey have a cartoon, they're called Chick tracts, they're great!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought2Much Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 A couple things I always thought about Chick tracts when I was a believer: 1. Hey, guys? Can we possibly get some better tracts? You know, ones that don't make us look like hateful fundamentalist nutjobs? These things aren't helping. Why do you use them? 2. What kind of person gets saved through one of these, anyway? Certainly not anyone I'd ever want to talk to, because anyone who would be saved through batshiat insane crap like this probably belongs in an institution of some sort. By the way, I know that the typical Christian answer to number 1 is "Well, if only one person gets saved, then that makes it all worthwhile" or "We heard from someone at another church who knows a guy in another state that talked to this one guy that said he got saved in 1967 just because he read one of these," but that only brings me to ask number 2, which there can't possibly be a good answer for.
