1. A man and a married couple have devoted their lives to helping the needy. They have never met each other before, but end up sitting on a plane together. The couple tells the man they did not preach Christianity while doing good deeds when the plane starts going down. The man, who has been telling the couple that it is a sin not to spread the gospel, is still admonishing them as the plane goes down, with the couple screaming at him something like, "Shut up! Can't you see we're going to die?" The plane crashes, and the three people are before god for judgment. The couple goes to hell and the man goes to heaven.
2. A man has cancer and everyone he knows who is not Christian abandons him while a Christian teaches him about god, and suddenly, miraculously, all his pain disappears. Of course, all the non-Christians were depicted as low-lifes.
There are more, but I can't remember them.
I used to find them beautiful, but now I find them disturbing.
What do you think about them?

They're very disturbing, actually. Are they Jack Chick cartoons? That guy is several cards short of a full deck.

Maybe a little extreme in their viewpoints. It seems the board is full of people trying to say they are good enough of their own merit to enter the kingdom of God. When Christians are allowed in heaven it will be because of the righteousness of Jesus Christ. He is the beginning and the end. A person shows little understanding and knowledge of the true God, when they compare themselves to his perfect love and goodness.

They're not too much different from the Nazi Germany cartoons and movies depicting Jews as rats, vermin, and sub-human. It's all indoctrination, and bigotry couched in scripture or nationalism. If you're going to get little armies for Jesus together, you got to get them started early.
Disturbing? Yes. Un-American? You bet.

The first one is stupid. Spreading the Gospel doesn't save people from Hell. Accepting Jesus as one's Lord and Savior does.
The second one sounds very hyperbolish, but I think that's to make a point. (Jesus often used hyperbole to make points, too.)

I think they sound like Jack Chick's best. He has become infamous among the heathen, somewhat less popular among the faithful. Don't worry about. He is not the gospel, Jesus is.

I think if it was any other cartoon and depicted a gay couple, pimps and prostitutes, and drug addicts society would accept them without a problem. Sad isn't it?

It's propoganda, like those strange little cartoony religious booklets you find in restroom stalls at highway rest stops.
