Well defending Jack Chick doesnt give us much hope for what your conclusion will be. Do you agree with him about the “death cookie?”
I thought the death cookie tract was dumb, personally. I lean towards believing that the literal blood and body of Christ are there, but still question it sometimes. The original Greek on the NT certainly seems to support this doctrine, but I’m no scholar.
 
What about all of the other tracts he has made that expose the lies of Islam, Mormonism, JWs, New Agers, and the occult? Don’t you think that those tracts have helped people get out of those dangerous groups?
God can use a JW pamphlet to get people out of Mormonism, the Book of Mormon to get people out of Islam, or Das Kapital to get poeple out of the Unification Church, but it doesn’t make those publications good materials.

But you have to admit that his heart is in the right place if he’s atleast trying to reach people he thinks are lost.

What about them? According to Wikipedia:

“Chick believes many of the world’s problems are deliberately caused by the Catholic Church. He credits the Catholic Church with founding Islam,[21] The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints,[22] and the Jehovah’s Witnesses,[23] persecuting Jews and starting the Holocaust,[24][15] and founding and promoting Communism.[15]

If they have helped people get out of these places, they did it with lies and slander and building a foundation on sand. According to Chick, all of these religions came from Catholicism. I don’t think he helped anybody get out of a dangerous group as much as get into one.

Yeah, I would guess he means well, but the materials aren’t a good tool, that’s all. I used to use them. I believed the common neo-pentecostal expressions “God’s word will not return void” (from the Bible, of course) and “Chew the meat and spit out the bones” (a Southernism, I think). These together meant “In written material and speeches/TV programs, whatever quotes Scripture somewhere is great and if there are lies in it the audience will sort it out and individually reject the untrue part while benefitting from the Scripture.” But in fact our own exposure to such a wide range of absurdities and lies, ranging from Chick’s friends and ex-friends (Rebecca Brown being one of the scariest IMO) to the therapies and theories that presuppose SRA everywhere you look, to demon-behind-every-bush therapies, to prosperity teaching, to what-have-you, began to wear out our collective and individual ability to think about things logically. It was like the way you can’t judge traffic safety when the traffic is past a certain level of size and complexity; you can’t even tell where everyone is trying to go, forget figuring out who has right-of-way. Your brain gets overloaded.
I was puzzling over the issue of what to do about materials that do contain Scripture and a message of God’s love but also have bizarre absurdities and false accusations in them. In that environment it was a stumper, BION. I was doing a household chore when the answer appeared in my head like a clear space on the surface of stormy water. Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.:doh2: Of course. There are plenty of ways to get the truth out there without letting it be all mixed up with lies. And without losing one’s mind in the process, too. Oh, sweet sanity, I missed you. So that’s where I’m coming from.

Im sorry but he is viruntely anti-Catholic. I dont think his heart is in the right place at all.

I will admit to no such thing. If you think his heart is in the “right place”, then I suggest very politely that you are very wrong, and are in need of some “serious realignment of operator headspace”.

Frankly…Chick is little more than a “hate-mongering bigot” who has found a way to make money while remaining a recluse. Nothing more.

I’m amazed that he’s still alive. I would have thought that the Muslims would have put a “fatwa” on him long ago with a price on his head… Even as a Catholic I found that POS to be absolute garbage…and yes, it, like every other one of those POS’s I find end up in the garbage…and quickly. 👍

You know, JWs and Mormons are fond of playing the role of victim whenever someone disagrees with them too. I have a whole bunch of JWs accusing me of persecuting them and being a bully just because I posted a video in which I challenge them to look into the WTBaTS for themselves.

Why take it so personally anyway? It’s not like you have any way of knowing for sure that he is motivated by hate.

Anybody can go on wikipedia and post something. It’s an unreliable site, and I’d take it with anything on there grain of salt.

Well, maybe he thinks it’s all true. A person technically isn’t a liar if they honestly believe what they’re telling you is true.

Ill teell you why we take it personally-becuase Jack Chick prints vile , disgusting trash about our Church. He mocks the Euchrist and compares Nuns to whores and monks to rapists. You may just call that a disagreement but I call it bigotry of the worst kind

Oh, I don’t really take it “personally” 😉 My skin is waaayyyyy toooo thick to take that drivel personally. I just call them like I see them. I think he is a hate-mongering bigot simply because he is. Its plain enough to see. Consider this: If “one” (a person…such as yourself) has to constantly, be it verbally or in writing, launch vitriolic attacks on the beliefs of another, in order to justify yourself and your beliefs, is that not hate-mongering and bigotry? Does not his trash feed people of that ilk? Sorry, but if it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck and looks like a duck…its a duck.

People like Jack Chick are the reason for the saying that the road to hell is paved with good intentions.

I have no doubt he believes he is operating with good intent.

However what he says about Catholics is straight from the gutter, and such ugliness has never served a good cause.

Coming of a Protestant background I know the sort of raw hatred this work of his can generate. I can’t say for certain but I can imagine the effect he has on those in other areas of the world.
I doubt the sincerity of any who can feel good about his work and claim to be Christian as well.
It sounds to me like more good intentions.
God deliver us from the good intentions of mankind.

God bless you.

Does the material he puts out about other religions offend you too?

If Jack Chick were roman catholic and published similar materials about protestants, I bet all of you would want him elevated to sainthood. Right?
 
Well, maybe he thinks it’s all true. A person technically isn’t a liar if they honestly believe what they’re telling you is true.
“Copping out” on a “technicality” like that is rather disingenuous. In fact that borders on self-righteous drivel. Chick loves to manipulate scripture verses to fit his demented notions of the right way to believe, yet…YET he goes against the very words of Christ: “Judge not lest ye be judged”! Not too mention many other scriptures as well.

Now, I know whats running in your mind right at this moment: That self-righteous putz did it too!! Maybe, maybe not…maybe I’ll “cop-out” and use your technicality game…because I can’t lie because I believe I am telling you the truth. Gosh, that was easy.

Sorry sport…but defending someone like Jack Chick is like defending Hitler. Can’t be done…unless, well…never mind.
 
Does the material he puts out about other religions offend you too?
As a matter of fact… YES, everything he puts out…period, and without exception is OFFENSIVE!! In fact it redefines the meaning of OFFENSIVE.
If Jack Chick were roman catholic and published similar materials about protestants, I bet all of you would want him elevated to sainthood. Right?
Wrong my friend. I firmly believe that were he Catholic, he would be officially censured and excommunicated by the Vatican. Your comment tells much about you…and I fear little of it is good.

Indeed, it is true that anybody can go on wikipedia and post something, but, please note, with this selected quote from there, I have included the references.

Please see the following Chick tracts for the references.
    • ^ Chick, Jack (1985). The Crisis. Chick Publications, 11-12.
    • ^ Chick, Jack (1984). Holocaust. Chick Publications, 5-10.
      *]^ Chick, Jack (2000). Bewitched. Chick Publications, 5-7.
      ^ a b c Chick, Jack (1982). The Godfathers. Chick Publications.
      And, no, if he was Roman Catholic and saying these things, we would not want him to be admitted to sainthood. We’d be arguing against him even moreso for misrepresenting Catholocism from the inside.
 
Umm…there is no comparison between Jack Chick and Hitler.
Ummm, on one level no, but on another…yes, very much so.

Are not Chick tracts much in the same vein as those espoused to by Hitler and the Nazi’s, such as the following(?):

library.thinkquest.org/12307/propagan.html

ushmm.org/wlc/article.php?lang=en&ModuleId=10005274

It was the very same kind of vitriol that fed the Nazi war machine, and led to the slaughter of millions…

Personally…were it not for the weak-kneed pansy’s that support the 1st amendment to the point of ridiculousness… I do believe that Chick tracts are a form of “hate-crime”…and I’m not even a right wing republican!!
