Talking A revealing article on Mr. Chick

You can find it here

I found this somewhat interesting. I didn't know there was so much mystery surrounding the infam...er, famous Jack Chick.

Most interesting to read.

I'd always thought that his tracts were governed by hatred and suspicion more than anything else.

I am surprised that others haven't picked up the idea for transmitting ideas of a different nature. I don't mean stealing Chick's plates and altering the texts, for which people get sued. I mean launching original series on a variety of subjects that can be printed off (in color now) and distributed widely. But it takes art, and not just a polemical intensity.

I found this comment by Chick's secratary to the reporter ironic:

Quote:
"He understands that you are just doing your job, but I don't think you would like people showing up at your home on your day off, either."
So, does Jack Chick not approve of door to door missionaries? I would find that highly surprising.

So afraid of being killed by another person? Come on--did he believe he was going to Heaven once he died or not?
