I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.

      I was handed one of these when I was on a church trip as a teenager. One of many many reasons I became disillusioned, but pretty funny in retrospect.

        Oh they’re great. I sometimes go look at their archives for a chuckle since all of their tracts are there for free. Most people’s favorite is Dark Dungeons, which is about how D&D is satanic, but I have to say that my favorite would be Angels? which is about a Christian rock band who gets a manager named “Lew Siffer” and don’t notice that there may be something weird there, but it’s probably because they’re very stupid, because their subsequent hit song goes something like “We’re gonna rock rock with the rock!”

      Why can’t they just go back to handing out Chick tracts? At least those were funny.

      Speaking about the website/comics itself, I don’t think ‘bait and switch’ would be a method that Jesus would want to be used to get people to convert to Christianity.

        It’s sillier than that. Jack Chick seemed to genuinely believe that most people had just never heard of Jesus and once they do, they’ll instantly convert.
