Yeah, but you still look forward to each new Chick tract, don’cha? 
Uh… Is the devil wearing a skirt?
I like this depiction of hell. It seems kind of like a hip social club (I could even meet Buddha!) with some freaky decor and an eccentric boss. Seems fun.
Umm.
Did you write that one yourself? It seems to bear some thematic similarities to your next post…
Exactly! It’s like the best old DC and Marvel archvillains! The ones “you love to hate.” Except that JTC is gulp real! :eek:
Amen! Preach it, brother! 
He goes out of his way to offend everyone, doesn’t he? “We’ve got popes, Buddha, Muhammad… all burning in Hell because they’re not holy after all! HAW HAW HAW!”
It’s pretty funny. At least it shows Jack Chick does have a sense of humour.
Was this tract supposed to make me think that Satan is actually a pretty swell guy who may be kind of fun to hang out with? Because, you know, it worked if that’s what he was aiming for.
Edit: You know, I think there’s a good contemporary fantasy novel somewhere in Chick’s works, may have to retool God and Jesus to not be such pricks though.
From panel 20A in the tract, using the cover as page 1:
I can’t stop His return to rule the world from Jerusalem, so I’ll make His “gospel” look stupid to the world.
Uh huh, uh huh.
…And yet the author of this tract is supposed to be on the opposite side of this great battle for hearts and minds. :dubious:
Ohhhh, the irony of it all!
So, the worst punishment in hell is eternal freefall? That’s OK. After a while it would probably feel like swimming.
In any case, how come gravity still pulls downwards in Hell? If the fall is infinite, that implies that Hell exists on a massive body of infinite size, and thus that gravity’s force would be infinite, squashing into a pancake as soon as you arrived.
Who do you think wrote the Internal (Infernal?) Revenue Code?
Part of me wants to hate people like this. I want to laugh at this guy, and his readership. Then part of me wants to be sympathetic… *If this is the only ‘life’ we’ll ever know, these people are wasting it.
- only believe 100% in one thing, and that’s the existence of my own consciousness. Though **I’m pretty damn sure **when you die… that’s it!
Sure. One would love it. Especially the part about it constantly getting hotter as you go down.
Well, maybe not necessarily. I seem to recall, from my semi-technical reading and from my own fiddling with equations, that a fall into a black hole would have no final moment. You would just need a very large mass involved. (A collapsed star would rip one apart from tidal forces, probably right down to a deuteron being separated into proton and neutron. With a mass of many galaxies, however, the ratio of tidal force gradient at a point to the orbital velocity at that radius is much smaller. There’s also supposed to be something about a singularity flaring out to the outside of the event horizon-- ISTRecall that rotation was involved-- IOW, SOMEBODY HELP ME OUT HERE!)
Unless… was it that a victim of a black hole-fall would experience the singularity or event horizon fairly soon, while an outside observer would see it as taking forever. I think one religious type opined that this was how the final destination of the damned could be both annihilation and an “eternity” of loss.
But, getting back to the tract, I think that there really was a bottom level that they would hit eventually. It’s just that one of the demons was being typiclally mean by scaring them into thinking that they would fall forever into the heat. (Of course, that assumes that they could still hear them.)
After all, the very worst of “hell” (after death, pre-Judgment Day) has to be less than the Lake of Fire. Or what THE HELLwould be the point of it?
Sorry, but I’m sold on this one. I was sold on the second frame when Gramps, who is in hell, asks, “When in blazes are you doing down here?” Ha ha, blazes!
Oh, it’s got plenty of Jack’s sick sense of humor. From panels 5A and 5B:
Wait a minute! I know why he didn’t make it.
He went nuts on that Bible thing.
Demon with trident: Amen, brother!
Of course, the same kind of joke continues in 6A and 6B. (The first is the panel with the original Fang in a flashback.)
Hmmm… do you think maybe Freddy and Gramps were in denial up to the last page?!
But of course they aren’t now!
Haw Haw!
