Evidence God Exists

[Regens Küchl]

Some humans apparently still have an egotistical need to imagine that they are so important that they must continue in some form.

They are wrong, of course, but that doesn't stop them from concocting fantasies.

The are very elaborate fantasies too with seemingly a great amount of detail about what happens 'after death' until you call them on it and then it gets all vague.

It even has been said that the greatest Christian of all time, Jack T. Chick who is so christian that he even outcrists Christ, contradicts himself on this question

Among other sites this is discussed at the snopes com forum

Read a small example from there :

QUESTION :
While we're all on the subject of Chick, it seems to me that Chick at times contradicts himself (one of the other posters suggested something like this in one of the earlier Chick threads).

For example: What happens to the "unsaved" (i.e., people who are not "Chick Christians")?

There seem to be at least three possibilities, each from a different tract:

(1) They go to hell, "minutes later" (Gun Slinger)

(2) They go somewhere temporarily (apparently not hell) and will be judged on Doomsday: (Somebody Goofed)

http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0003/0003_01.asp

(3) They lie unconscious in the grave until Doomsday (This Was Your Life!)

ANSWER :
I'm a Jack T. Chick inerrantist, so I'll explain this apparent contradiction.

In Somebody Goofed, it is explained that the unsaved dead go to a holding place (not Hell) to await judgment. Judgment is pretty straight-forward, as everyone who is judged is sent to Hell.

In This Was Your Life, the unsaved man is shown awaking from his grave on Doomsday. Some skeptics argue that this contradicts the account given above. However, the tract does not state that he was asleep from death until Doomsday. Obviously, right before judgment, unsaved souls are transported from the holding place, into their graves, ready to be awakened for judgment.

Finally, in Gun Slinger we see an Old West marshal dying, and then "minutes later" being in "Hell". If this is the best contradiction skeptics can come up with, they must be truly desperate. Obviously, this isn't really our Old West. Instead, this is set in the near future, where, during the end times, a small section of post-collapse America resembles the Old West. Surely, however these people are better off than most during the reign of The Beast! The marshal is in Hell only minutes later because he died on Doomsday, and was awoken from his grave, and finally judged all within minutes. So where's the contradiction?

Very interesting subject, this Jack Chick contradiction science
