I used to see Chick tracks all the time when I was growing up in Cleveland. Especially when I was in high school and took the bus. People would leave them on bus stop benches, and bus seats, and other places they knew people would see them. I was raised Catholic, and thought that they were just some loony cartoons. We used to make fun of them while waiting for the bus. ---

The last time I saw Chick tracts “in the wild” so to speak was because they “conveniently” were included with a particular Korean edition of the Bible I needed to get when I was living in Korea. While living there, I never saw them on the street or in their traditional environments. ---

> [@Enuma\_Elish](#): > > Have you ever met an actual practicing conservative Christian? By “conservative” do you mean religiously conservative (i.e. traditionalist) or politically conservative (i.e. [Sodomite]([Ezekiel - Ezekiel’s Inaugural Vision - In my - Bible Gateway](http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Ezekiel) 16:49&version=KJ21))? ---

You know, based on this: > [@Enuma\_Elish](#): > > I never said they were a fiction. I said that to claim that they were representative of the vast majority of practicing Christians was Bullshit. I think I’ll pass. Since I never made such a claim, y’know? I’ll freely state that I sometimes construct my posts using the vocabulary of equivocation. I don’t see that it is inappropriate for me to sometimes make that choice. Your characterization of that as “_hemming and hawing_” suggests that you do. But I’m not particularly interested in knowing your reasoning, so feel free to not share it with me.
