Boy, and I was almost convinced by his arguments before I read this thread. You folk should all be ashamed at yerselves for keeping me on the highway to hell 
These used to make sense?
I’ll admit I’ve only seen the ones that were referenced in threads during the last few months (since I have better things to do with my life than troll through the Chick web site for reading material) but none of them ever made sense to me.
Lucki, you are funny.
I am going to find and burn ALL Harry Potter books Now!!
I am kidding
Was this it?
No kidding - I just re-read it, and I didn’t see anything that showed Samantha as being willing to reject witchcraft. She didn’t go off on Bob like Holly did, mind you, but she wasn’t looking eager to get out of it either.
Yep, that’s the one! Thanks!
Well, they used to at least be more straightforward. The Christian would come in, and the nonbeliever (who had, of course, never even heard of the Bible or anything in it) would argue with him. The believer would win the day with unassailable logic and Biblical quotes, ending with a conversion. Or there were the alternate series of people refusing to listen, and God expaining True Christianity as he dispatched them to hell. None of this casting out devils business (although I do believe that Satan kills people in some of his older tracts.) I just don’t understand why Bob didn’t even try to help Holly? I guess there needs to be someone hellbound to make it a Chick tract . . .
I get such a perverse enjoyment out of Chick Tracts. This one was especially entertaining.
“Witches Rule!” is a great line, but Chick wasted an opportunity to have the Evil Character to follow it up with “God drools!”
No Haw Haw Haws, but we do get two YAAAAAAHs and a NOO!.
Well, if MY mother came home with Floyd the barber and said, “I got saved! I received Jesus Christ as my lord and personal Saviour! Honey, my sins are gone!” my reaction would be to gasp in horror and think, “Oh man . . . I can’t handle this,” too!
Hey is it me or was this the first time the non believers admitted to knowing of the bible and Jesus and rejecting it outright until the Naziesque Bob force converts one of them.
I call that unfair,!
But if these christian folks have this power why arn’t we all God Fearin’, Pope hating, Gay bashing, illuminati hunting christians like Jackie and Bob!
And as a final thought Bob had Holly’s number from the start. After All who the hell could be seduced by a witch who keeps contorting her face as much as Holly. That girl has one hell of a nervous tick.
Nervous ticks is the anti-God evolutionist lie to obscure the truth of her problem. She had a demon in her distorting her in all ways.
In the panel where they’re “cleansing” her bedroom, doesn’t it look like they’ve just torched the whole house?
“I am God’s arsonist.”
That’d do it, I suppose.
I feel sorry for all these now homeless spirit guides.
I mean, what the hell would you do if some Über-conservative Bible thumper waltzed into your living room and cast you out with just a few words? Sheesh, all those hard-working, blue collar spirit guides. Homeless and unloved by society. 
We should have a telethon or something to help the homeless spirit guides.
Tripler
And why the hell did he only boldface spirit and not guide too?
Jacks Chick has lost it. Where is the passion? When I read a Jack Chick comic I want, no demand a certain amount of irrational hatred and zeal. Sadly, this comic just didn’t have it. It read like Jack was just phoning it in.
Compare the irrational hatred found in the Death Cookie or Chick’s the Crusaders series to this dreck. There were no scenes of Holly burning in hell and meeting her maker. There was no unintentional humor like Chick’s classic Dark Dungeons. I am dissapointed in this tract. I rate it no better than the Superstar, Chick’s tract on a soccer player who needs to find Jesus.
Hold on are you saying the Harry Potter revelation wasn’t a great surprise! I was sitting there reading and I thought:
“Okaaaaaay we know he hates witches but what is his main attack this time,” Suddenly wham right out of left field (sorry that would be right for Jack) we find out that the Harry Potter books did it.
I take it Jack hates other books out selling his. He just had to Slag the competition
Hmmmm… You know each time I read this tract I’m begining to think Jack is begining to hate his own religion and is using the girls to voice it. I’ve never heard his characters curse the bible, Jesus and christianity so much.
Is he using them to voice his own feelings?
Could Jack be losing his religion?
Ya know, I just read this again, and as obvious as it may seem, I just realized that this was plain and simple hate literature. I mean before I kind of always considered him an ignorant, arrogant, self-righteous, intolerant fundie wacko who wanted people to convert to his way of thinking.
He could have defended himself before, saying that he really LOVED all these people, and wanted them to see their error and be saved. Not so here- the witches pretend to be all harmless with their “God is love” talk, but behind closed doors they work for Satan, hate Christians and plot to kill them. This is not going to convert Wiccans to Christianity, it’s going to convince Chick-type Christians that Wiccans are evil and should be hated. This is not going to convert anyone, it just works up hate towards this one way of thinking.

Making fun of Jack Chick is like hunting ducks with stinger missiles.
That said, I found this one funny for it’s sheer insanity. I love how True Christians ™ have some sort of supernatural, mind-affecting power to influence people’s minds in his tracts. I imagine an unscupulous lad could find some very amusing uses for these…
“Holly, God wants you to remove my shoes with your teeth. It’s the only way! You’ll burn in the lake of fire if you don’t, and that you can be sure of!”
[dramatic change of subject]
What in the name of the seven mad gods who rule the sea do fundies have against Harry Potter in particular? The magic in those books is pretty tame by fantasy standards. It’s whimsy, and the stories are ultimately a celebration of human courage and loyalty. Harry Potter is not a hero because he’s a powerful wizard, he’s a hero because he’s a brave, moral young lad.
I just don’t understand. Perhaps my error is applying logic to what is, essentially, mass hysteria.
Journeyman: They hate the HP series for two main reasons:
[ul]
[li]It’s Occult. That’s the one they immediately spout, and with some reason. The Bible says ‘Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live’ (Genesis) and various prohibitions against witchcraft in general. They see Occult == Satanic, so attacking HP means attacking a Trick of The Truth-Twister.[/li][li]It’s Popular. Rowlings has a great franchise with HP, and bookstores across the world know it and are displaying them in locations where Bible-Humpers would be likely to see them (out front, as an advertisement). Libraries are also stocking them, including the libraries in the Godless Public Schools. Bible-Humpers see all of this as a Direct Attack on the One True Path, Jesus Christ, Allrighty. The psychology works itself out from there.[/li][/ul]
Two major reasons HP is being singled out for BBQs and angry duckquacking.
Quoth Jack:
“The next day Saul died in combat. Later the witch died and went to hell.”
All I could think was…
[voice-over]
“Samuel was indicted for his hand in the conspiracy. And now, the results of that trial…”
Am I the only whose first thought when seeing Uncle Bob was “This is the mother’s new lover”?
