The ultimate Chick Tract!
http://www.chick.com/reading/tracts/0900/0900_01.asp

It's a Chick tract on...handing out Chick tracts!

Tells you:

Why to pass out Chick tracts ('cause Jack don't make no scratch if you don't)
Where to pass out Chick tracts (in men's rooms all across America--don't laugh, that's the first place on the list)

Jack wants you to surreptitiously drop three Chick tracts a day, every day. This will require you to spend $153.30 per year to purchase the nearly 1100 tracts you will distribute.

Says Jack, no one can resist Chick tracts. That's true! In all the annals of literature you will never find anyone as full of shit as is Jack Chick. Reading Chick tracts is just like witnessing a trainwreck.

12. Yup. Same guy.
And at fourteen cents apiece for a tract that costs about a nickel to design, print, warehouse and ship, multiplied by the billion tracts he's put out over the years, he's rolling in cash.

4. Preaching is one thing
Spouting bigoted, paranoid conspiracy theories is another.

7. You just got here & you're already tired of "Christian hating"?
Have your doc check you out--easy fatigue can be a symptom of several serious diseases.

Yeah, there are some loudmouthed Christian bashers here. There are also many Christians who appear to have actually listened to what Jesus said. And a lot of people really don't care much.

I'm an agnostic/atheist with an interest in myth & religion. An ex-Catholic, I sometimes find myself defending the faith against people who hate the Church just because they were raised that way.

Jack Chick is an anti-Catholic, anti-Gay, anti-Pagan twerp who spreads hate more than any positive religious message. That's his right. But we also have a right to call him what he is.

3. I love this panel:


Maybe that's because most Christians aren't obnoxious disrespectful one-note prosletyzing pains in the ass, Jack.

8. Also
Witnessing to coworkers or those you buy from/sell to (assuming it's your job) are wonderful ways to get skipped over for promotion, lose commissions, or get fired!

22. That panel is correct..
Alienating everyone you come in contact with is the perfect way to spread Christ's words.

(sarcasm off)

6. I got a chuckle out of his "89 percent" statistic


Did he actually do a survey of his fellow Christians? Or is he so blessed by the Lord for his righteousness that God blessed him with omniscience and enabled him to pull info out of his butt? :D

Oh, and this is also a screamer too....




That's news to me that the Communists spread their propaganda via comic books. I always thought they spread it via Beatles songs.

Jack Chick is a communist. He said so himself!

23. He's right about the icy stare part.
but in my case, I may be capable of using colorful language if someone tries to throw that crap at me.

15. I like the one where the head guy in a prison becomes Christian..
and goes around telling everyone there's gonna be "no more raping, because I found out god hates sodomy" and tells the warden not to swear because the prison is now "holy ground"..what a hoot!

17. Jack Chick is anti-EVERYTHING
He's anti-gay
He's anti-Catholic
He's anti-Bibles other than the King James Version
Anti-Halloween
Probably anti-Santa Claus too, but I haven't seen that tract yet
Anti-Muslim, anti-Jewish, anti-American.

He's even anti-works. In the bizarre theology of Jack Chick, works get you sent to Hell. You're supposed to walk around passing out Chick tracts because God has a little meter on his desk. When you've passed out enough tracts, a bell goes off and you can get into Heaven.

25. Sounds like the holy version of MLM
If you pass out 150 tracts, you get to heaven. If those 150 people pass out 150 tracts each, not only do they get to heaven, but you get to meet Jesus personally. If those 22,500 people pass out 150 tracts each, you get to decide who lives and who dies(TM Crow T. Robot)

19. $153.30????
>>>This will require you to spend $153.30 per year to purchase the nearly 1100 tracts you will distribute.>>>

And just how much will it cost the Department of Sanitation to sweep up and dispose of all 1,100 tracts?

(I did, though, like the panel that showed the one guy swearing. He DEFINITELY is in need of a Chick tract!)

I may have to bookmark that site for days when I'm feelin' low and in need for a laugh.

20. This thread is a hoot. Thanks for the laughs.
I do love finding those things, but mine is probably not the desired reaction.
