Thumbs down Fearmongering from Jack

New Jack Chick Comic out today.
Worth having a look at for a laugh or to get your hackles up.
All about the hell that is coming to the non believers.

Raises some interesting concepts as to the people in heaven being able to observe the people tortured in hell... For what reason? I can only assume to gloat about it.

Quote from the last panel...

---
You are going to die and don't kid yourself...you will be judged.
God's got it all recorded, everything you ever thought said or did.
The only way to wipe that record clean is to do what Fred did.
You can't squirm out of this...
You really got nailed when you read this story.
You've got no excuse now.

If you were handed this pamphlet would it change your life?
Would you have any respect for the person who handed it to you, trying to force you round to his belief through fear of torture?
Fucking Jack Chick.

Heres the link

I wonder what happened to Sonny? Do you think he went to hell?

No. I would have no respect for such a person.

What kind of a sick fucking mind would buy into such a shitty theology?

No. Did you see that crate he tripped on? When he fell, he knocked it open and saw what was inside: bundles of Chick Tracts. All of the crates were similarly marked, too!

Realizing that God was using their evil deed to do something good for the world, Sonny opened his heart to Jesus in thanks, and repented just before flames engulfed him.

"He should know all about hell, Fred. The Bible tells us that He created it!"

What a sick twisted shit this Chick fellow wants us to believe in. If I had never heard about xianity before, I would certainly be turned off by this tract. I wouldn't worship a deity who intentionally creates a place like this.

Thumbs up

Outstanding.

One of his most inspired yet.

Every hospital needs creepy looking individuals visiting critically ill patients and telling them they are going to suffer horribly. It's bound to help their recovery.

Jack Chick makes me sick. His stories are absolutely disgusting and an insult to humanity and decentness. Perhaps I'm going over the top, but he does too. How can someone believe in that? I don't understand. I don't see how believing in THAT can be seen as a good thing. Is he so terrified? Does he draw that creepy guy to look like himself, I wonder? Spreading "the good word" like he thinks he does with the comics? That would really creep me out if he looked like that.

Ok, I hadn't read the new one when I posted that and now i just did and I am pissed!

I come from a family of firefighters. My grandfather was a firefighter, my dad was a firefighter, my uncle was a firefighter and now my brother is a firefighter. The men (and women!) of the fire department put their lives on the line every day doing their job, one of the most dangerous jobs there is. It is a wonderful thing they do, and if they get injured in their duty, you do NOT go to their hospital room to tell them that they are going to HELL!

A whole lot of people living in the USA who refer to themselves proudly as flocks of sheep. I said flocks rather than flock because none of them can ever agree on anything except that everyone else is going straight to HELL.

The implication being, I guess, that now we "know" what's going to happen. But then, if some other religion "warns" me of my fate if I don't follow them, I have another "excuse." See, nrither religion can really demonstrate the correctness of their claims, so at best, I only knew what soemone claimed is true, not what is.
