For those of you who don't know about "Chick Tracts", they've been ridiculously popular with evangelical Xtians since the 1970's. A looney hack cartoonist/failed pastor by the name of Jack T. Chick has made millions selling some of the most badly drawn, dangerously stupid material ever published.
He has had to withdraw a few, like the infamous "Lisa", which told a story about a child being repeatedly raped by her father and his friends. It ends with him "being saved" and from then on life is perfect because he won't do it anymore. (I have a .pdf copy.) There is another, still available, called "The Uninvited" that claims that all sexually abused children are demon-possessed and will become homosexual if they don't accept Jesus. This guy hates all other religions, all scientists, evolution, uppity women, all gays, and has a special type of tract called "black tracts" for his African-American readers. All of his tracts end with the promise of eternal hellfire if you don't accept Jesus RIGHT NOW. Many of these cartoon tracts are targeted toward children.

The reason I bring this up is that he is still going strong. He has huge numbers of fans. In 2012, he published a number of anti-global warming tracts. One called "It's Coming" teaches Xtian children a very different creation story. The flood explanation is so laughable that even a bright 10-year-old should know it's ridiculous. I think that we should post excerpts like the one following as memes to social networking sites. I can't risk it until I change jobs though . . .

Sorry . . . was trying to post a picture from my computer, can't figure out how. I have nearly all of these as pdf's, if any one wants them. My Mother thought they were great.
