In memoriam, TBR-style*:





[* making it NSFW to some extent.]
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

So I've been catching up on my Chick tracts, and I have to say that they're highly entertaining. If I didn't know better, I'd swear they were created by an atheist trying to make Christianity look as bad as it can.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell

There's a movie about Chick and his little business. The people who do the work these days seem sane, until you look into the eyes.

I can't rule out Jack Chick being a Poe of some stripe.

As noted earlier, there is no shortage of criticism of his tracts from other Christers. If he was slipping heresies into his publications and wound up damning more souls than he saved, well, all can say is:

Out of morbid curiosity, are there any supporters, defenders and other sundry followers of Chick Publications here; and if so, why?

Until I got my own copy of Gay Blade, I coveted having one!

The humor value alone is worth the bother of getting one.

My Mother practically worshiped him and bought those nasty little booklets by the box.  She passed them out EVERYWHERE.  She fervently believed every word written in them.  She'll most certainly vote for Trump.

Well, as long as he's not in Season 4. That was the worst season of that show. At least they redeemed themselves for Season 5.
