That tract is sick. 3 criminals. 2 rapists and a mandatory reporter who thinks his religion is above the law. Just like the catholics.

Jack Chick and reality weren't on speaking terms.

Yeah I just recently found about this asshole and although they call him "fundamentalist" to be honest I don't think his views differ much, if any, from most Christians. Like this one on evolution:

This is again one of those things that I mentioned that Christians (as well as members of other religions) see it as their privilege not to be educated. Now of course this is embarrassingly stupid, again evolution is not Survival of the strongest but Survival of the fittest. Take birds: not every bird is an eagle. Eagle is a mighty bird but can't survive everywhere, like in places where sparrow lives. Sparrow is weaker, but that's his advantage in certain places. Not to mention that both sparrow and eagle's ancestor was something like T-Rex.

Or this one:

Basically Christians are just waiting for someone to invent something stupid, like that Leakey found human skull 212 million years old, to believe it. How does that nonsense even argues for Christianity I don't know. I guess they're trying to show that scientists have a chaos in dating stuff.


Or this one on Halloween


Isn't that point of view of Catholics? They don't celebrate Halloween on 31 October because they think it's sacrilege and do it, I think, in February.
And Harry Potter being the devil, didn't we all saw that being said in documentary "Jesus Camp"? And Pope Benedict XVI said that Potter corrupts souls of young children.

I know, right? I teared up a little - I love happy endings...

I have no idea why that tract was pulled. 100% consistency with Biblical truth. Had the government suppressed it, the ACLU would have been all over it.

Not sure what you mean there.  As a Catholic child I often celebrated Halloween.  Of course, the Catholic church had to coopt the holiday and turn Halloween into "All Saints Day" on Nov. 1, making it a holy day of obligation so you'd better get your butt to church for an hour on Halloween night or the next morning or burn in Hell.  As a kid I always hated that because wasting an hour in church on Halloween night meant all the good candy would be gone by the time you got out there.

Ah, how great it is to not feel obligated any more.

Jack Chick was a supporter of Kent Hovind and endorsed his facile bullshit. That should tell you all you need.

Wtf is a Chick Tract?

They are little (around 3X5) booklets passed out by certain stripes of Christians.  Each one addresses a particular variety of sinner in a comic book format and shows how Jesus (well, Jack Chick's take on Jesus) can save said sinner from eternal damnation.

Jack wasn't shy about going after other religions either, he had 20 tracts on how awful and sinful Catholicism was.  He didn't like Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses or Muslims either.

He also addressed homosexuality (hated it), alcoholism, and evolution too.

Jack received quite a bit of criticism as you can imagine. Being virulently anti-Catholic pissed off many Catholics, of course. And curiously (perhaps), Jack was criticized even by other Fundamentalists and Evangelicals at times.

The homos were less than thrilled with him too . . . .
