Merged Chick Tracts

Huh. The tract lists an address of Eastwood Square in Kitchener, Ontario. I just drove by there less than an hour ago. Right near the Dairy Queen and a bowling alley. It's also a few steps from a major auditorium-slash-hockey-rink.

Anyway, that's the sign of a high-class organization: a P.O. box at a boring Kitchener building.
 
Anger .... rising

Don't you love how the little girl gets Herpes and is being molested by the neighbor too, but it's all OK because Daddy found Jesus?

And what about the neighbor? What is HE going to do now that he's lost access to the daughter?

The one positive note of this comic's existence is that Jack Chick pulled it from production. I don't know if you can still order it if you contact them directly, but it's no longer listed on the site. As low, hateful, vile and monstrous as Jack Chick is, his customers have a limit, and this tract crosses it. It's a dim positive note though, because it's hard to find people who DON'T consider infecting a small child with Herpes and escaping legal consequences to be crossing the line.
 
New(er?) one here.

So, now the Catholics started Islam, Communism, the Freemasons, and the Nazis.

Fang has a cameo, barking at the line of monks. Not Fang's best moment, by a long shot.
 
Some tried to find a way to make it to heaven but couldn't. Satan waited in the shadows, grabbing their souls the instant they died.

That is completely different from how everyone else talks of it. This guy believes it took god four thousand years to notice no one was getting into heaven and he should do something about that?

So, in 1917, Lenin boarded a train for Russia with $666,000,000 of gold from the RCC. Maybe my math is incorrect, but at 19 $/ounce, that's a bit over 2,000,000 pounds. I have no idea if a first-world locomotive could have hauled that, but I am willing to bet $666,000,000 that such a train would be unable to ride over Russia's railroad tracks and bridges - at that time the country was not widely acclaimed for its infrastructure.


Furthermore, $666,000,000 is a lot of money. Its current value might be near $11,100,000,000. [warning: argument from incredulity to follow] I cannot imagine trusting anyone enough to say, "here, take this untraceable $11 trillion dollars and go destabilize that country over there."


ETA: I also like how the tract states that the Vatican has its own intelligence agencies.

Well see, there's your problem. You're not supposed to think, you're supposed to BELIEVETM

"Upon" instead of "into" isn't usually how that kind of thing works, but does seem to be what the illustration shows...
You are so going to hell.
They took down the image I was commenting on!:dl:
I don't think they took the image down, I think you just can't link to an individual comic page.
No, they definitely removed it. Not only did it work here before, but the "complete" tract on their own site is now missing that frame (between what are now the third and sixth frames).
Which tract was this?
Why Is Mary Crying?

...I presume others had also linked to that image alone and made similar jokes about it to mine. I'm curious how many, and how much more that image got viewed than average. My theory is that whoever runs their website noticed that one image being viewed more than the rest of the same tract, figured out or found out why, and just pulled the frame.
I found the image again! In another conversation about Chick Tracts somewhere out there on the internet, others had noticed its conspicuous disappearance too, but somebody had saved it and uploaded it somewhere else that Chick and his people couldn't get to it.

So now, although the current version of this Chick Tract just skips over this step between the angel telling Mary she's going to have a baby and Mary having the baby, we can still see exactly what Chick's original vision was for how Mary got pregnant:

What is really funny about this track is Jack doesn't even know his KJV bible that well.

Chick likes to claim that good works are not the way into Heaven; he fails to explain those passages (like Psalm 62:12, Jeremiah 17:10, Matthew 16:27, Matthew 25:41-46, Luke 10:26-28, James 2:17, and Revelation 20:12-13) which state that good works are required for salvation.

It gets really bizarre when Chick points out one part of the Bible and ignores the adjacent passages that totally undermine the very point he is raising. For example, in The Chaplain Chick refers to Matthew 25:41 while ignoring Matthew 25:42-46 showing that good works are a requirement.

This lack of crosschecking research gets really bizarre when you compare tracts. Take Flight 144 (1998) and Somebody Goofed (2002) for example. In Flight 144 Chick has a character state "The Bible says that good works can't save anyone" but in Somebody Goofed Chick has a reference that simply says "**Rev 20:12-15". Well here is the King James version of that reference, with some boldface added for emphasis:


"And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works. And the sea gave up the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up the dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works. And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death. And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire." (Revelation 20:12-15)

There in the very passage Chick himself references it is stated twice that good works are required. Matthew 25:41-46 is even more to the point on the matter:


41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me.
46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.


This directly contradicts Mama's Girls (2012) but then the Bible contradicts itself all over the place not only in the details of history it gives but regarding salvation as well.


Of course the major flaw in all these tracks is that God does nothing to clean up the mess made by Satan which brings up the old adage 'All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.'

If that is true of men then what of a God that stopped sending messages about 2,000 years ago? The whole thing doesn't make any kind of sense.

Then there is the logic hole a mile wide--if as Chick claims no one can get into Heaven and there is no purgatory then any person no matter young is doomed to Hell if they don't accept about Jesus. But how can you accept someone odds are you never even heard of?

This is true even today as there are places remote enough where the brand of Christianity Chick claims is the real deal never gets to.

Here the child of an umemployed worker finds Jesus. Having an umemployed father and not having enough to eat is ok as long as god is in your life.

But if accepting jesus and wanting to go to heaven simply teleported you to heaven without the suffering of life or actually having to die, it might not be such a bad thing.

I also like how he brought up being against government regulations while also saying unemployment benefits are too low.
 
Someone takes the trouble to obtain these tracts and leave them all over the hospital where I work; surely it makes the person who does it feel like they're doing something good for people.

I enjoy taking the trouble to toss them in the garbage, and like to feel that does something even better for people.

I used to collect them. As absurd as they are the comic art is good.

Be sure to always put them in the hazardous waste receptacle. That way, no one would be inclined to reach in and try an take them out again.

Either that, or put them through the industrial shredder. At least if you did that, they'd be of some value as recycled material.

I actually lost my job in 1987 due to new government regulations. Tariffs were made illegal and my skills were no longer current. Comparing unemployment benefits to a real pay check is a real let down. Its better than nothing but its hard to pay the bills on what the state gives you.

This tract does have the redeeming quality of showing the feelings and hardships of the newly unemployed.

Interesting conflict, on one hand you are doing a good thing by reducing clutter in a health care facility and possibly the potential clutter in someone's mind, on the other hand you could be removing the educational opportunity of someone seeing the results of twisted magical thinking.

I'm sure this was a difficult moral dilemma. :rolleyes:
