There were people passing them out then that sincerely thought just putting the right one in a given sinners hands could lead them to Salvation, apparently within seconds to moments after reading it.
Obviously, I saw a 'homo' one, and a general come to Jesus one and I'm pretty sure an anti-Catholic one.
Yes, Vor, I thought that I was given a few in my early college days as well, (including the pastor at the church service I mentioned, handing them out to the kids and then to me) - - but I wasn't certain of the date. I wasn't trying to give you a history of the tracts . . . but maybe I should go back to chick.com and look for one, if folks are interested. I remember "The Gay Blade" from the late 70's - I think.
