How often do you read Chick tracts?

Question

Don't you get such a laugh out of them too?

And pick your favorite.

My personal favorite is how a Christian talks a Muslim into becoming Christian in about 10 minutes against a lifetimes worth of teachings.

Answer 1

They are HILARIOUS. My friend once gave me a comic book called "Sabotage" about the KJV Bible.

Basically there was this guy going to Bible school and found out the KJV wasn't the only translation so he burned the place down.

No kidding. Gosh those tracts are crazy.

Answer 2

I do not and would not hand out tracts, no where in the pages of the Bible did I see anything that said pass out tracts! It's just another money making idea for Chick's; Matthew 6:24 No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and mammon.1 Timothy 6:10 For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.

The Bible does not teach to do such things, but to live a life worthy or to make people want God, and to preach the Gospel not pass out tracts

Answer 3

I have only seen a few in my lifetime (outside of the Internet). It was at a public trolley station and it was in Spanish. Even as a Christian, I find these witnessing tracts to be incredibly harsh, theologically speaking. In fact, if you look at Jack Chick on Wikipedia, you'll note that most Protestants and lots of Catholics find his tracts hard to swallow (particularly Catholics because some of the tracts are anti-Catholic). My friend claims he gave out a thousand of them in the span of three days and led a young boy to Christ in the process. This said friend is also a HUGE fan of Jack Chick and wonders as to why I don't like the witnessing tracts.

Answer 4

I used to read them all the time for laughs. His tracts are inspiring. I usually find them even funnier than the parodies.

Although the parody "Antlers of the Damned" if pretty funny. Space Moose rules!

Answer 5

I always check in for the latest. They are so demented. Recently there was one that says if you let your children believe in Santa Claus, they won't believe in Christianity either because you told them a lie. The latest shows a guy going to hell for his own good.

And how about the one where Jesus tells a kidnapped girl how to escape? How many kids in trouble are going to be disappointed when that doesn't happen to them?

They are so diabolical and insidious, it makes me nuts to think people actually buy into it.

Answer 6

I love them. I love the Watchtower magazines, I pick up all the tracts I see. I enjoy sharpening my own apologetics that way. Unfortunately these things don't present much of a challenge. But I still pick them up.

Answer 7

I come across them on the web from time to time.
It's actually a mixture of amusement and horror when you realize that adults actually believe this.
This is really the belief system of a lot of screwed up people.
My way of thinking is that it would be funny if it were not so tragic!

Answer 8

My favourite is the one with Lil' Suzy and the evil atheist evilutionist schoolteacher, who is proved wrong by a few words from the BIBLE.

I have no idea how this nonsense could possibly convert anyone.

Answer 9

They are funny, but not as funny as the parodies of them. Even funnier are the lawsuits against the parody makers... Jack Chick has a big ego problem and no sense of fair play.

Answer 10

Whenever I want to fill my head with nonsense. I did once read it in a public bathroom someone left it on the sink very amusing, and I hope there aren't actually people who believe the delusional things written in them.
