Why aren't there any Chick tracts on Scientology?

Seriously, there really should be some. I’d love to see what Chick has to say about it, and even funnier would be the resulting Hell he gets from the CoS.

Why hasn’t ol’ Jack done this yet? Is he afraid, or does he not think the CoS is a big enough “threat” to fundamentialist Christianity?

My guess is because it isn’t as prominent as the other stuff he goes after.

I’d second Guin. Chick tracts are aimed at two groups, with two different purposes:

  1. Converting casual Christians and on-the-fencers to fundamentalist, sourthern-U.S.-style Christianity

  2. Giving fundamentalist , southern-U.S.-style Christians something they like reading because it affirms their beliefs.

To that end, the targets of the tracts are supposedly non-Christian things that would be commonly familiar to the readers; Catholics, Muslims, evolution, sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Anything they see a lot in real life or on TV.

Scientology is a very small little cult; despite the fame some of its adherents have, it’s really not that important. Jack Chick has also never done a tract on Jains or Zoroastrians, but he has done one about Dungeons and Dragons, because his readership is very likely to have encountered D&D but is unlikely to care about Jains or Zoroastrians. Gotta know your market, right?

My guess is that Scientology would sue him into oblivion.

Proffesional courtesy among screwballs is my guess.

I’m sorry. I meant: “Courtesy among profesional screwballs”.

Or–maaayybeee I meant it twice. :o
Darn double posts.
