[“The Promise,”](http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/5004/5004_01.asp) Jack’s explanation for the strife in the Middle East. It all goes back to Abraham, Sarah and Hagar being Abraham’s surrogate wife. It’s classic Chick! It’s got that same dorky guy with the teeny mustache (Bob) from so many other tracts telling some Bible story to a couple of tourists who evidently have never heard of the Bible before in their entire lives: Bob: Jesus Christ is God Almighty. It was only His precious blood that could wash away our sins. Tourists: That’s amazing! I **never** heard that before! Geez, lady, have you been living under a rock all your life? The tract ends with the obligatory instant conversion we all come to expect from Chick tracts! I doubt this thread will last as long as the [“Evolution or Jesus”](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=61703) thread, but I couldn’t let this monumental event in the worlds of theology and publishing go unnoticed! 😃 ---

Didn’t you just love the looks on the tourist’s faces when he got to the part about being cast into the lake of fire? ---

It took awhile to open that site, my computer didn’t want to open the grahpics. Who ever said computers were just dumb hunks of silicon? In the scope of Chick Tracts[sub]tm[/sub], this one only rates a 6. Too short, not enough raving lunacy. ---

Wacky Jack doesn’t seem to be much of a speller. He spells Isaac’s name as “Issac” in one of the panels. ---

… this whole Middle East thing… It’s all Abraham and Sarah’s fault. Silly me for not thinking of that. And here I thought it involved deep social-political-religious & economic issues going back for centuries. How silly of me. Right… Abraham and Sarah. :rolleyes: Zev Steinhardt ---

So, basically, everyone in the Middle East has been holding a grudge for 4000 years. ::sigh:: Someone do me a favor and kill me now. It’s either that or my brain will explode from the annoyance. ---

I personally like the line, “His name was Abraham and he was a friend of God.” To me, that brings up images of God and Abe shooting some pool, having some beers, Abe complimenting God, “Hey, Lord, you did a nice job with the hooters on that redhead!” Of course, **jab1** already commented on the best line: the tourist who had never heard of Jesus dying for your sins. ---

Unfortunately, my computer had no problem at all with the graphics: > [@](#): > > If you refuse God’s love gift… you will be cast into the Lake of Fire! Yep, that’s love, all right. ---

Four thousand years of strife in the mid-east. Why? Because of a woman, of course! These are the sort of fine little details that make Christianity the mother of all patriarchies. ---

Why id it every time I read the phrase “God’s love gift” it brings an image of a Celestial 70’s porn movie. “I’m here to audition for the Choir Invisible?” “Take a seat” Bom wakka chika wakka [sub]bow wow wow[/sub] wakka chica… ---

Thanks for introducing me to Jack Chick. I had a read of another tract [http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0042/0042\_01.asp](http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0042/0042_01.asp) and am a little perturbed to find England has been bought to her knees by Islam and no one told me about it. Why am I always the last to know _anything_? ---

> [@](#): > > Four thousand years of strife in the mid-east. Why? Because of a woman, of course! These are the sort of fine little details that make Christianity the mother of all patriarchies. No, no; it was because of _two_ women! Clearly, poor Abraham could do nothing about these wicked females. ---
