Chick tracts

Note: This page was imported from an unknown wiki. Chick tracts are a series of short evangelical gospel tracts created and published by the late American cartoonist Jack Chick, in his company Chick Publications.

Why They're Not the True Gospel Tracts

 * 1) They are nothing but hateful Christian propaganda.
 * 2) The tracts are formulaic, clichéd, and terrible.
 * 3) Clichéd hamfisted Christian messages.
 * 4) Overuse of stereotypes, especially homosexuals, Jews, atheists, and Catholics.
 * 5) Jack Chick seems to have very terrible logic.
 * 6) * One example is, he seems to not know where AIDS comes from. This is why homosexuals always seem to get AIDS in the tracts, as they apparently don't wear condoms.
 * 7) * Another example is, he seems to think that Catholicism is part of a Satanist conspiracy to overthrow Jesus, and blames them on all the bad stuff in the world, from global warming to Communism! Yes! Communism!
 * 8) * Also, he thinks homosexuality comes from abuse and thinks you can convert from being gay to straight.
 * 9) * Being the part of the King James Version-only movement, he believes that the King James Version is the true version of the Bible while other modern versions are corrupt just because they modify the verses by changing words and removing words to make the verses easier to read, yet the King James Version did the same way with changing/removing words from the original Bible.
 * 10) * One of the false information he made up to target Catholics is that IHS (one of the Catholic symbols) stands for the Egyptian gods (Isis, Horus, and Seth). In reality, however, IHS are actually the first three Greek letters for Jesus.
 * 11) * Chick claims that Allah from Islam is a pagan moon god, which was also not true. Allah is an Arabic name for God, and thus it was clear that Islam's God is the same God worshiped by Christians and Jews.
 * 12) Chick also says that Harry Potter, Dungeons & Dragons, Rock Music, and Halloween are Satanic. That is not true at all!
 * 13) Lisa is arguably the sickest tract Chick has published. It is so sick it was pulled from chick.com and is unavailable in print, although archived copies still exist. It's about a guy named Henry who consistently rapes his daughter Lisa and she is diagnosed with herpes!
 * 14) If you dig deeper into these tracts, you can see they are very messed up. They seem to reward bad people and punish good people. Apparently, you can get away with the vilest, horrible, and disgusting thing you have done in your life as long as you accept Jesus in your life.
 * 15) Hypocrisy. Despite the tracts trying to combat against hate, Chick still stereotypes non-Christians.
 * 16) * For example, he once made a tract called Love the Jewish People, yet he still stereotypes Jews (e.g, big noses, hairiness, etc.).
 * 17) Jack Chick was basically the religious equivalent of a Nazi, saying that God will send everyone to hell whoever's not a straight, KJV-reading, Evangelist Christian person. That's right, even Mormons, which makes every one of the tracts extremely offensive. He also demonizes a ton of common hobbies and specific people, notably J. R. R. Tolkien, C. S. Lewis, and J. K. Rowling, even though THEY'RE ALL CHRISTIAN IN REAL LIFE.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) They are at least created for a good cause.
 * 2) The drawing is nice to look at.
 * 3) At least they're not taken seriously for the most part.
 * 4) There are some good tracts without including biased information.
