This was the second time in a row I went to the supermarket and found either "Chick tracts" or "Catholic noveans" placed in the aisles along with food. I am a Christian, but quite honestly found this disturbing and quite a turn off.
Would you agree a supermarket is not a place to distribute propaganda?

Really? Where the heck do you live? I would have so much fun with those...you can send some to me. I'll make a fun sculpture from them.

Keep a litter bag handy, and collect them until you have an impressive number. Do the folks behind you a favor, and when possible, take several. I assume these are free. When you have tired of this, go to the nearest Catholic church and ask to talk to a priest. When he comes out to greet you, politely hand him the bag and let him know just how ineffective the tracts are. You can ad lib from here!

I am soooooo with you. In a supermarket, a goodwill store, a CVS drug store...a Office Depot or a Petsmart. Down here pick your store and you will find them somewhere in there. Sometimes the cashier will put them in your bags!
Books A Million down here, you will find them between the pages of ALL the pagan books you buy. Or any of the books in the Occult section.
I live in Georgia...right in the heart of the bible belt. My oldests son used to get bible quote tracks in his pay checks!
Its horrible here! They go way out of line down here with it.
I once found them in the bathroom stalls at Walmart sitting on the toliet paper holders!
Tomorrow night, we will get several of them, they will be wrapped around the candy given to the kids. It happens every year.
Blessings,

Yes I agree with you. I've seen the same thing at a book store. I pulled out a book in the Catholic section and there was a little pamphlet saying that all Catholics are going to hell. Someone took out all the Catholic books and slipped in the pamphlets. I reported the incedent to the manager. I am not Catholic. I'm not even Christian. It occurs to me that it is very presumptuous for anyone to tell another that they are "going to hell". No one knows who is going to hell, only God knows......

Where do you live? I am in The Bible Belt, and I never see tracts. No one ever chases me down in parking lots, malls, or grocery stores trying to make sure I'm saved.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not come to my house. Mormons don't come.
What is a "chick tract"? Do they have "guy tracts"?

I find them all over, especially in a store here in Va. In FC, ( i cant name the store) but I find it disturbing also. It is one thing to put them on the quarter machines, ( gumballs, bouncy balls, key rings, crap like that) but to put it into the food items as well?!?!? That is going too far, I think!
