First of all- Jack Chick is a certified NUT CASE.
He pulls scripture out of context to suit his own needs.
Case in point- God is a God of MERCY. The young man in question would not be condemned if he never had the opportunity to follow Christ. What kind of God would punish you for not doing something you were never given a clear opportunity to do? It is only outright rejection of Christ that would be condemned.
I could go on and on....

It is not the kind of tract that I would want to give out.
It says that the idea of the "fatherhood of God and the brotherhood of man" is not in the Bible. But what about this?
8"But you are not to be called 'Rabbi,' for you have only one Master and you are all brothers. 9And do not call anyone on earth 'father,' for you have one Father, and he is in heaven. 10Nor are you to be called 'teacher,' for you have one Teacher, the Christ."
Matthew 23:8-10 (NIV)
Jesus is this passage is talking to the crowds and to his disciples about the teachers of the Law and about the Pharisees. If Jesus tells a crowd, "You are all brothers," does it not further the idea of the brotherhood of man?
I hate it when ultraconservative Christians downplay or denigrate the idea that we're all in this together. Yet, I believe in the concept of the "elect" when it comes to those who accept Christ, but this concept is no excuse for spiritual snobbery. Look at what Jesus says next:
"11The greatest among you will be your servant. 12For whoever exalts himself will be humbled, and whoever humbles himself will be exalted."
I am no fan of Chick Publications.
That said, Jesus did say, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No man comes to the Father except by me." This means that Jesus is the only way to salvation. That says, I think there are different ways of approaching Jesus. You don't have to believe the ultraconservative Christians, but I do recommend that you believe Jesus.

And they say "Satan" will try to deceive you. The cartoon sounds like Christians know the faults of their religion and are trying to debunk a truth.

Mental cases like Jack Chick are perfect tools of Satan to drive sane, decent people AWAY from Jesus Christ.

geesh. I read through that whole thing and then the last 3 pictures didn't come up. grrrrr.....
Well anyway, it sounds like a lot of conversations on Yahoo Answers. It really makes the Christian viewpoint look stupid. That's my honest opinion.
Ok, I hit refresh and got the last few pics to come up. Now I want to add to my comments. Not only is it stupid, it's SICK.

Since Christianity really doesn't make sense when you actually think about it, they need to resort to fear tactics in order to keep their flock mentally trapped. This comic is a perfect example of that.

It looks okay to me. Don't laugh, those thing work on some people. Its a good story with Scriptural truth behind it. It would work on the younger people. I don't see anything wrong with it. Except that many people will refuse to read it.

I don't believe it. Chick tracts inspire hatred, bigotry, and guilt, and when he speaks of other religions or cultures, he is often blatantly lying.
Well, you asked.
