Roz Posted April 23, 2014 Share Posted April 23, 2014 Oh good lawd... I just saw the words "adapted for black audiences!" in one of the chick tracts. Apparently the website has a category that's "black tested, jesus approved." Thanks chick tract, that was a nice flashback to the 1950s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voice Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've not seen the Chick Tracts, but I used to listen to Warnke a lot as a christian, I thought he was funny. He used to record his ministries and distribute cassette tapes. Any kind of christian cartoon is going to be like christians in real life. Impart the good word, share the values, save people. Am I right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FreeThinkerNZ Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I LOLOLOLOLOL at them. Our good friend and atheism spokesman Dusty Smith reads one for us in this video. Thank for this. Dusty is fucking brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Am I right? If you want to get a taste, go here. Be warned though - to me at least any humor in those things is accidental, the "message" they are meant to teach is of the nauseating kind. Keep a bucket close just in case until you know how well you can stomach them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuker12 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Jack Chick cosies up a lot to discredited conspiracy theorists. The Deceived (along with other Chick tracts against Islam) purport Islam as a creation of the Catholic church. Alberto Rivera has been discredited, as far as I know, as a swindler, but still Chick uses him as a source in his tracts, What do you think? Is it a possibility that the catholic church created Islam? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoubtingNate Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 That seems highly implausible; couldn't they have just used all that effort just to make more Catholics instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zuker12 Posted April 29, 2014 Author Share Posted April 29, 2014 Yes, and the Catholic Church has been historically one of the most hateful organizations against it's enemies. They also caused a lot of harm to themselves this way. Of course nowadays they're more cuddly and gooey than anything. Of course, it wouldn't simply matter if they had created Islam, that only means someone succeeded at a conspiracy. It is very implausible though, because as far as I know, Muhammad genuinely believed in his religious revelations. The point of contention is that he met a Christian missionary at a point in his life, and this has been a point of notice for Christians since medieval times. Also Muhammad's wife Khadija was supposedly a Catholic nun ordered to stage the presets for Muhammad's revelation. This is mostly coming out of Rivera's mouth, as far as I know. I'm still pondering if Jack Chick is really a genuine christian or if he is simply willfully delusional or wants to gain money with his tracts.

Ravenstar Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 They scared the crap out of me.. they are seriously creepy. Their stories are crude and cruel and portray the world like it's the bad part of Gary, Indiana, at midnight… everywhere. I wouldn't let children see them. Seriously.. I'd burn every one I found if I had the chance. They are like the imaginings/daydreams of Pat Robertson put into bad art. Nightmares. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seven77 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 With laughter. Mostly because I've never taken them seriously. The Bible Reloaded has a playlist of them reading Chick Tracts with the tract art in the background. Fun stuff. Steve Shives and DarkMatter2525 have joined them on occasion. I keep hoping Dusty Smith will be invited to the party sometime soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellinas Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I had a complete set many years ago - they were provided so you could choose which you wanted to buy. Never bought any other than that one set. Even as a fundie, I saw them as a great way to discourage converts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
★ Citsonga ★ Posted May 2, 2014 Share Posted May 2, 2014 I don't see tracts very often, let alone Chick Tracts. Whenever I do, though, I immediately remove the rubbish and then put it in with paper to be recycled. Even when I was a Christian, I thought most tracts were corny and some even misleading. I remember once removing a tract when I was a Christian because it said something like, "Why not give Jesus a try? If you don't like him, the devil will always take you back." As a believer I found that to be incredibly stupid, because you can't just try Jesus out like testing a used car, but instead you're supposed to completely believe in him.

Neverlandrut Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 Faceless god... now that you mention it... that reminds me of something that might explain quite a few things... That thing looks like the spaghetti monster!! The Chick tract with the faceless god is This Was Your Life. You can read the whole thing on the Chick website. Hilarious!

Thurisaz Posted May 3, 2014 Share Posted May 3, 2014 That faceless gawd image appears in quite a few chicken tracts if memory serves. It's been years since I checked them out but I remember having seen it in a bunch of those pieces of printed shit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen652 Posted May 4, 2014 Share Posted May 4, 2014 I LOLOLOLOLOL at them. Our good friend and atheism spokesman Dusty Smith reads one for us in this video. Beat me to it. I have never laughed out loud so much at a youtube video in my life. Watching Jack Chick being mocked so beautifully is like the sweet vengeance of having your childhood bully's balls nailed to the floor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
