He seems way too enthusiastic.

I wonder how this got on the Internet at all. He's paranoid that the Vatican has him on their hit list, so he won't give interviews or have photos taken of him.

He has his own website where the tracts are posted and freely available for download. You might be able to buy packets of them too, but I haven't spent too much time on it.

I think he genuinely wants to save people by preaching the gospel. I don't get the same vibe from him that I do from guys like Ray Comfort or Kent Hovid. Chick seems sincere. He's just a lunatic who wants to take people to Jesus. And no, I don't think he's insane because he's Christian or even creationist. It's the whole Vatican Illuminati Freemason MAGIC IS TOTES REAL GUIZ thing that makes him nuts.

That's actually where they make their real money. They sell them in bulk to the kind of people who go around leaving them everywhere.

I think Chick is, as far as fundies go, probably a pretty nice guy. I mean, next to people like Fred Phelps and Randall Terry who encourage their followers to go out and murder people, Chick is completely and utterly tame.

I don't think he's denouncing megachurch televangelists to help his business.

I don't think he does it exclusively to help his business, but I still think that's part of it. He's also in competition with the televangelist megachurches for souls after all. I have yet to hear of a single evangelist-for-money who promoted any other than himself. They all, even the actual non-profit prophets, believe that they, themselves hold the one true path to salvation, and Jack Chick is no exception. The only difference is he's small potatoes compared to the big outfits. I mean Jack T. Chick doesn't even have his own theme park (but it would be amusing as hell if he did).

he's genuinely trying to appeal to black audiences but is just too damn old and crazy to know how.

Not just black audiences…

I tend to think the only people who are actually swayed by Chick Tracts are probably 95% there already. As in fundie christians already, but maybe not yet Jack Chick's particular brand of fundie. I can't see Chic Tracts making much of an impression on the average can't-be-bothered atheist or even most less dogmatic christians.

I imagine that among 91-year-old conservative white Southerners whose formative years were pre-Civil Rights Movement Chick's actually pretty progressive.
Click to expand...
I'm reasonably certain he's Southern Californian, born and bred, which isn't the same thing as Southern. As to his age, who exactly do you think were doing the marching for Civil Rights back in the '60s? I'm not saying Jack Chick was one of them, but there were a lot of 40 year olds, and especially WW2 veterans, marching. You don't hear a lot about them, mostly thanks to boomer solipsism, but without the experience of the older activists (not to mention their earned respect) the kids wouldn't have gotten anywhere. Hell, unless I'm mistaken Martin Luther King Jr. himself would be about the same age as Jack Chick today if it weren't for that cocksucker Ray. Now there's a theological debate I'd give anything to see. Nothing beats a good ol' theosophical curb stomping.

They'd probably sell a lot more comics if they made them two-ply.
Apologies in advance for such a bad comics joke.

Which is why he's a lolcow and not merely an asshole like Phred Felps and company.

These things are pretty popular in my country, since the government and public never ousted God and Jesus like America did in the 60s.

Its so weird though, you go about your life not thinking about your own path with God, then you see one of these things, and you HAVE to read it.

They are pretty dumb though, and never make good payoffs for reading it, and end their story pretty abruptly. However, the message they try to say for each story becomes clear after reading it again a few times.

Then you drop it back on whatever surface you found it, for another citizen to read.

I just posted about Kent Hovind's release from prison in the OPLCAL thread but thought some creationist-specific elaborations would be better off in this one. Jo and Eric Hovind, along with Jim Bob Duggar, retrieved Kent from the correctional facility yesterday and he's now on the outside.

Today, Kent Hovind and his supporters issued a request on YouTube for help restoring Dinosaur Adventure Land.

You should move to a country with the death penalty, rob/murder/snort your way to hedonistic utopia and when you get caught you admit all your crimes, get the death penalty, make peace with Jesus and go to Paradise because living a life helping others is for suckers who'll go to hell?

...That's at least the message I received from most of them.

I thought we had a Creationist thread somewhere on the Farms.

I've been working my way through Thunderf00t's "Why do people laugh at creationists?", series. This happened a few weeks ago, but Kent Hovind's now hocking diluted cyanide as a cancer drug:


Hovind's far from the first person to fall for "Vitamin B-17", but it's still inexcusable for anyone to be selling something known to be poisonous as a health product. This isn't even shit like apple seeds, which are basically impossible for stomachs to digest the cyanide contained within and are at a low enough dose to essentially not matter to humans anyway, or cassava, which is processed in a way to render the cyanide within harmless. This shit can really fuck people up if they take it long enough.

Oh, and since this thread didn't have much buzzat the time of the switch, anytime the Mods wanna take this to Community Watch would be greatly appreciated.

Given Hovind's "expertise" in science, it's not surprising he'd go for this.

On the topic of Jack Chick, has anyone here read his full-length comic books? Not the tracts, but the Crusaders comics? They're pretty fucking wacked out...

Now that you mention it, I want to see some of these comics. I can only imagine Jesus meets Sonichu at this point...

My only regret is that I have but one Informative rating to give for you.

@Steamboat_Bill I think you just made my day. AUGH YEAH

By the way, look at the web design, it's got that classic "made by a 12 year old with Microsoft Word in 1995" look and feel to it that seems to be a common theme with fringe elements and lolcows.

Check out Spellbound? first. That one's the best.

That's the one where they reveal the secret Satanic process by which rock music is made.

You're thinking of Dark Dungeons.

They both sound like a trip. I'll have to bring this up just because.
