Lots of people think it's a parody because the tracts are so out there, but Jack deserves a padded cell somewhere far away. I've seen some atheist reviews of them, like at Bible Reloaded. That's some entertaining stuff.
I like the one about DnD. Apparently playing the game will let you do magic, and character death will be so traumatizing that you'll kill yourself after being kicked out by the rest of the group.

That is my favorite Chick tract. I would go as far to say that that particular piece of schlock and pablum is the greatest religious tract ever.
There is a whole story behind it. It is based on the ramblings of a lunatic named Particia Pulling, she founded the organization Bothered About Dungeons and Dragons (BADD) and went around lecturing on how D&D was responsible for her son's suicide -- and that's not all, according to Patricia -- that particular RPG was responsible for all American teenagers' problems. Like, you know, there was no acne until D&D was created.
I go into more detail about it in my video:
