 This one doesn't actually really belong on the site, because it's not the usual run of things.

 But it's very funny.  Especially if you're Catholic.

 Jack Chick Is Going To Hell


Mr Chick is a misinformed idiot who is going to hell...

His tracks about Catholicism reveals to me that he's a complete idiot when it comes to history. Chick tracts should be outlawed!

Can just imagine what will happen when he is the one going to hell. "Depart from me, you that work iniquity." (Matthew 7:23 Douay-Rheims) "Nooo Jesus!" I didn't know that I weren't allowed to get rich by fooling stupid Americans and spreading heresy! I didn't know that salvation is of works! I didn't know that the pope is you vicar on earth! I didn't know that you hated capitalism!" (sending him to hell) "NOO, please don't do that Jesus! Why didn't you tell me? This is so unfair! AAAAAAIIIIIIEEEEEE!!!"

I would like to have an inquisitor teaching him right and wrong! Sadly they didn't attack heretics, they only hunted false converts...

There's also a Monty Python joke in the comments for good measure.

Chick tracts are fun to poke fun at, for several of the reasons in the above quote.  The problem is that people keep believing them.  And sadly, while I think most Catholics can shrug off the litany of stupidity (it's not like we haven't heard it before - OMG! You worship Mary/etc), the tracts about Islam/pagans are really not funny either.

americanstd's latest offering is Fred Phelps ranting about George Carlin by the way.

Because of my location I hardly ever run into Raving Anti-Protestants, only Raving Anti-Catholics. Kind of nice to see someone paying JTC in his own coin.

Apart from the ones who know they're being funny, of course.

The anti-LDS tract is very well-drawn, but otherwise not much fun either. :(

On the up side, adamselzer has an absolutely hilarious song called "I Want To Sleep With The Chick In The Chick Tract" I could upload for you if you'd like.
