Geez Louise, God made the trees with extra rings to look old; it’s a trick, just like starlight that seems like it would take billions of years to get here, but was also created just 6,000 years ago. Heretic scum!
BTW, did anyone else realize that Joseph looked like Michael Landon? Makes the story of Joseph just that much more surreal.
Ralph Nader?
In the scene where the guy says “Thats my wife, you pervert” doesn’t the “wife” look like she has a beard?
Its a man in drag! 
Did anyone else notice a footnote in the Alberto “tract?”
Rivera’s mother is dying, having hallucinations (sp?) and Chick notes:
“She was not on medication”
I don’t know, maybe she should have been? Ya think? She was dying and having delusions and all.
Gee—in the interview with Jack Chick on one of the links above, it says, “He had a heart attack some time back. His daughter was in a wheelchair. Fred Carter, his chief artist, was in the hospital.”
Gee, sounds like “God” is tryin’ to tell him something!

See? Internally consistent, unassailable.
Vanilla-which one was that?
I’m sure he meant “Doom Town”, one of the Sodom and Gomorrah tracts.
Yes, I did, the one thats linked above.
And I’m a she!
I first heard about Chick tracts in a book titled High Weirdness by Mail, published by Simon and Schuster, copyrighted 1988, authored by Ivan Stang.
In it the author has collected, under various different headings, all SORTS of strange groups. There are political, religious, UFO, New Age, etc. There is hilarious commentary, along with the address of each group. Maybe it would have been updated, but then the Web came along and most of the groups are probably on the Net now.
ANYWAY, Chick is listed under "Groups You Love To Hate(But They Probably Hate You More).If I may be permitted to quote from the commentary on Chick. in which the comics are be spoken about “an almost pre-human level of sheer, unbridled hate, manipulating the lowest human religious instincts” There is also “If the Devil has been looking for something to make Jesus look bad this is it”
Part of one comic is printed. That kid Bobby, mentioned in a couple of other tracts posted about here, must be a regular. Little Hitler Youth uniform, telling the good guy “You’re sick, you old fool. You’re sick sick sick! I’m turning you in” While the good guy just stand there and tells Bobby that Jesus loves him.
Sorry about that. I didn’t check your profile.
Tis okay. First time I was mistaken for a guy.
Baker! I Love that book!
In fact, its right here in my library.
I even wrote to the Flat Earth Society.heh.
The “Second Coming” joke gave me the inspiration for a bumper sticker… ahem
Wow, that hellbound train looks like a real party machine. Where can I get a ticket?
I don’t tear Jack Chick tracts up, nor do I throw them away. It would defeat the purpose of writing the Communist Manifesto quote on the back.
I’m forcing myself to read the holocaust tract…and these I are things I wonder about, and I dont know if anyone has mentioned them before…
Jesuits=Dominican monks? AHEM, if you are going to talk against a church and their monks, at least study a little about their differences. Jesuits monks are organized differently than other monastic orders, kind of like a military troop(since its founder was a former soldier). Also, they were founded separetedly, though I do not remember which order was first.
Dude, the Inquisition started earlier, at least in Spain, maybe in other countries also. Jews were expelled from Spain in 1492 or whereabouts, and the Inquisition started soon after.
Spain was under the rule of Franco, a facist and ally of Hitler. They do not directly cite the newspaper that published that note. Notice that whatever was published in Spain during Franco’s rule, had to be approved by the goverment, so the newspaper may probably have been a puppet newspaper to comment on the good things of the goverment.
Protestantism a dirty word in US? Media is pro-Catholic??
Catholicism=Jesuits? Didnt the writers know that the Jesuit order was persecuted during various periods? Some of their missions and works around the world destroyed?
Vatican as a whore…
7.“A true Christian will never kill nor harm anyone in the name of Jesus.”- 3 words…Salem Witch Trials
I hate this… what one has to pay for the freddom of expression
Oy! You guys ever hear of clouds?

Satan wanted me to smile today, and I did.
Yay, I love that going-to-throw-up-because-of-the-ludicridity-of-it-all-feeling. Grrrrr. I can’t believe this chick guy made the professor say atoms are held together by gluons. :rolleyes: I also love that the student says the Big Bang theory has to be taken on faith because it can’t be “proven.” So the cosmic microwave background and other astronomical observations that show the Big Bang to be the most likely and logical theory of all the theories that exist at this moment for the creation of the universe should just be pushed aside? I wish I could e-mail this guy and un-illiterate him.
Ok, feeling much better now.
Lol
An Open Letter to Jack Chick
Mr. Chick,
After following the links to the Chick tracts, I must admit that I have been converted to the Chick philosophy. All I need is a little clarification.
If we don’t stop them, the Catholics will soon convene a Constitutional Convention and install a Catholic government. Fine, I’m in, we must stop the Catholics.
If we don’t stop them, the Muslums will be in the White House in 2010 (Allah Had No Son). Ok, I’m in here also, but, wait a minute. Will this be before or after the Catholic takeover? And how do the Muslums plan to put someone in the White House in 2010? The election is in 2008, the President sworn in in 2009. Must be planning to elect a Muslum vice-president, and then have the President assassanated. Perhaps alongside a Catholic President? Are the Catholics and Muslums in collusion? We must investigate!
The judgement thing has me a little confused, though. Ok, I understand that when I die, I will be taken to Jesus to be judged, but how does this work? In “This Was Your Life”, you tell me that I will go to be judged for how I lived my life immediately. But then in “Hi There” you tell me that I will have to wait 1000 years, and then be judged for how I lived my life. But in “Flight 144” you say that when I am judged, it will not matter how I lived my life. I’m sure there is a reasonable explanation, could you enlighten me?
In several tracts, you tell the story of the original sin of Adam. I accept that, because of this sin, we all live in sin until forgiven by Jesus. God told Adam not to eat of the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil. Adam knew not to do this, he knew it was wrong, so when he did, he committed the original sin, which curses us all. I accept this, because you say it is so.
Here is what confuses me. Before eating from the tree, Adam could not have know the difference between good and evil i.e., right and wrong. So how could know that it was wrong to eat from the tree? If he did know it was wrong to eat from the tree, that would make eating the fruit the sin you say it was, but how did he get the knowledge of good and evil which would enable him to make such a choice without having first eaten from the tree? I’m getting a headache just thinking about it, so I’ll try to make it simple. How could Adam have chosen good over evil (not eating from the tree) if he didn’t know the difference between good and evil?
I’m sure there are simple, obvious answers to all of my questions, because you have simple answers for everything. But make no mistake, I’m committed to the cause.
My favorite Chick tract was also on evolution. It was particularly amusing because my major professor (an archaeologist) was a dead ringer for the evil non-fundie professor in the tract. He could have modeled for the damn thing. Actually they can make a great teaching tool if you could get a “Christian” to listen long enough. I once had a guy tell me that his geology course was what convinced him that the earth was only around 4,000 years old. Talk about selective inattention. One of the things I find most distressing about Christianity as it is often practiced is that ignorance really is seen as a blessing.
