[Olog-hai]

Jack T. Chick, whose cartoon tracts preached fundamentalist Christianity while vilifying secular society, evolution, homosexuality, and the beliefs of Catholics and Muslims, has died. He was 92.

Chick died peacefully in his sleep on Sunday evening, according to a Facebook posting Monday by Chick Publications, based in Rancho Cucamonga, California. It did not provide other details, and a call for comment left after hours was not immediately returned. The posting promised that the company would continue Chick’s method, vision and purpose. …

The first few times I saw his stuff I thought he was a complete nut.

As time has gone on, I have come to think he was a lot more right than wrong.

RIP

Here we go again.

He really hated Catholics.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

He really told the truth about Catholics.

[Mr. K]

I love Chick Tracts! I have not seen any on a while

While people were always avoiding the people who were handing them out, I was always exctied to get one.

I even had a collection at one point.

Honestly, I have never understood the Catholic bashing thing. I know Catholics “raise an eyebrow” at a lot of Protestant stuff, and Catholics “raise an eyebrow” at a lot of Catholic stuff. I don’t see that bashing back and forth really serves the Lord.

[NorthMountain]

He really libeled the Catholics.

Yes, he really hated Catholics. After we converted, a friend gave me his Death Cookie tract. Let’s see, do we use Jesus’s words, “This is my body” or trust Jack on this one?

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

Yeah, sure he did. The Holocaust was a "Vatican plot" by "Catholic Germany." Islam was a creation of the Vatican as well. Catholic worship statues. Catholics believe in magic as a core part of their faith.

I'm sure there are other "truths" about Catholics that he purveyed.

[bboop]

Clear-Case — no, bashing back and forth does not serve the Lord’s purpose ‘that we should be one.’ It certainly might help Satan’s cause - “Satan is the accuser of the brethren.”

[Pilgrim's Progress]

“I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing” (II Timothy 4:7-8).

but there IS a reason that so many hate him . . .

“And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness” (II Thessalonians 2:11-12).

[Wyrd bið ful aræd]

He may very well have tried to fight a good fight, and I sincerely hope that he is with the Lord, but his battle plan was downright idiotic. You can have theological debates without resorting to easily debunked, astoundingly absurd nonsense. Talk about delusion, some of his stuff was so bizarre that I have no doubt that he himself believed it, because nobody would make up such silliness.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

or, your religious headquarters may be hiding a lot of their history from its supplicants - which I find to be much more realistic.

[agere_contra]

He was sent strong delusion, and put most of it in his comics.

Pray for him.

Amen! just read his halloween tract again.

I don’t know that he hated Catholics, so much as Catholicism. There is a difference.
