Merged Chick Tracts

I really can't fathom how Jack Chick (or any of the Christian denominations that hold similar beliefs) determines that so many practitioners of other Christian religions are hell-bound.

Taking Catholicism as his usual Christian target; although it is true Catholics believe good deeds win you brownie points with the man upstairs and although they seem to massage doctrine with abandon (don't they all?), they also believe that Jesus died for their sins and have faith in him as a Saviour. If anything, the extra layer of obligation for good deeds seems to me an admirable addition to a religion and certainly shouldn't damn one for eternity.

How can Chick seriously believe or even want to worship a supposedly benevolent god that will send a selfless philanthropist to burn in hell, while rewarding a mass murderer who asks for forgiveness before going to the chair with a mansion in heaven?

It may be impossible to ever understand the mind of the insane. And these tracts are as insane as anything ever known.
 
I'm of the opinion that people who are this extreme in their beliefs actually have the weakest faith. They want to be right so badly but they are afraid they are not so they look for outside confirmation. If they can convince someone else then they must be right.

One of the many things to dislike jack Chick for doing is his portrayal of College Professors and school teachers as such anti religious and bigoted individuals. The teachers and college professors who would act like what Mr. Chick is showing are few and far between. I mean I knew some teachers who were not rocket scientists but to show a teacher acting like this is idiotic. Generally speaking if the truth were known it would more likely be a religious bigot of a teacher who got mad and went ballistic at a kid who was an atheist or a religion other that the teachers. How absurd.

I'm a little suspicious of "Uncle" Bob, his habit of wearing eyeliner, and his serial killer moustache.

And it appears he plucks his eyebrows.

Which tract was this?

Why Is Mary Crying?

The image showed Mary, on her knees as if praying, with a white beam of light coming down and striking her. She was surrounded by white light, with rays of light coming out from her in all directions against the dark background. The words in the image said "God (or maybe The Lord) came upon her, and she conceived". It apparently didn't occur to the person who created it that the verb "come" is sometimes used with an alternate meaning, or that in black & white hand-drawn images, a white beam of light with a secondary glow effect radiating from the target doesn't look much different from a stream of white liquid hitting the target and splashing.

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. Fortunately for them, the story is the same without it: you still see the angel telling her what's coming about to happen, and you still see the baby three frames later. So it could be taken out without any trouble.

Whatever it was they took down it could not possibly be worse than this.

That one's not there anymore either. :dl: What was it? (Now this is making me wonder how often that happens to them.)

Creatures from holloween attack the human race after Hell is unleashed. Vampires, werewolves etc.

Two things struck me about that tract:

1) there's a footnote on one of the panels half-way down about author William Schnoebelen being an "ex-vampire". I thought he was a former Satanist? And I thought vampires are dead (and don't they sparkle), so how can one be an ex-dead person?

2) the last 1/3 of that tract looks like a badly thought out Call of Cthulhu campaign :)
