Jack Chick
Hi all,
I've just been reading some of the poorly-drawn evangelical comic strips of Jack Chick (http://www.chick.com/catalog/tractlist.asp).
I'm interested in what board members think of Mr. Chick.
Frankly, I'm not really expecting anyone to really speak up his kind of madness, but feel free to surprise me.
This is also related to the recent threads on cooercion and threats used to 'bring people to Christ'.

Male - ChristianJust about every Christian I've talked to thinks he's a nut. Those who don't are also the ones that, coincidentally, happen to think that Catholics are devil worshippers or whatnot.

Male - ChristianRe: Jack Chick
I wonder at times whether Mr. Chick is actually a Christian, or is a non-believer trying to poke fun at Christianity. A lot of it seems like bad parodies of Christian beliefs and seems to be designed to anger non-Christians, the very people such tracts should be reaching out for.
I also wonder which number is greater - those who have come to Jesus based on Chick tracts, or those who's hearts have been hardened towards Jesus based on Chick tracts.
In short, I'm not a fan.

Heh. The strips seem to function quite well as satire.

Jack Chick is the wind beneath my wings.
But, then, I am an atheist.
I think it would be a great joke to purchase his 3000-tract set (with free display stand) and set it up some suburban "normal" church. Everyone would assume some other group in the congregation had installed it. With luck, you could break the church up with vicious recriminations on all sides. :rockon:

Male - ChristianityI like "Dark Dungeons," the one where Dungeons and Dragons leads a young woman to witchcraft and a friend of her's to commit suicide.
"NO, NOT BLACK LEAF! NO, NO! I'M GOING TO DIE!"
"Marcie, get out of here. YOU'RE DEAD! You don't exist anymore."
"It's my fault Black Leaf died. I can't face life alone! Marcie" (Marcie's suicide note)GONE FOR GOOD BECAUSE THE MODS ARE FRICKIN' RETARDS

Male - ChristianityWait. I'm a "fundy!" What am I doing making fun of Jack Chick tracts? I should be mindlessly supporting his work and leaving piles of his tracts in bathrooms and assorted other places.

Good one russ.
Yeah his comics are really dumb. I have met one person out of all the people I've meet on the net who supports Chick. He was a real wacko who thinks that Billy Graham is evil for some reason.Dropping a few Eschatology Bombs, or "Let's think before we endorse another way."

Male - ChristianIt's because Billy Graham recognizes that Catholics are Christians, participates in ecumenical meetings, and encourages Catholics at the altar calls to stay in their Church.Today @ 05:52 PM post located here

he makes a good point every other article or so. kind of have to read through his bullcrap. those comics are so wrong their funny. of course its my fault he got brought up. but someone else mentioned him i believe.
"love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always preserves"
