Merged Chick Tracts

Here is "Olive (Chick Tract Who Cares? #36)" by DevilsAdvocate.

I would have loved to have witnessed this whole event first hand:

Bob: I need to get some batteries(for who knows what).
Bob finds Omar on the floor and helps him.
Omar: Ah, thank you infidel. Why would you help me?
Bob: You are my enemy. Jesus said to help you because you are a Muslim and are the enemy of us Christians.
Omar: Well thanks again you rotten infidel.
 
I'm confused about the exchange in the Olive panel above.

Does Chick think Allah is a real entity?

I think that this offers an insight into Chick's attitudes. Seeing as the tract in question seems to be aimed at evangelizing Muslims, why would he have the main character state that he's never heard that God loves him when any Muslim would know of many Koranic verses speaking of God's love? I can only assume that it is because Chick really believes that Islam has nothing to say about a loving god. Why? Well, because they aren't Christian, of course. Chick is certain that only Christianity can offer anything positive so he knows, without having to check, that Islam has no positive aspects. Again, it certainly offers an insight into Chick's ignorance, prejudice and contempt. Still, given that there are around a billion Muslims in the world it's statistically possible that one of them might convert to Christianity because of reading this tract... or suffering a stroke related hallucination of Jesus.

Easy conversion

What always gets me about this tracks is that

1. It assumes that no one who isn't Christian actually knows the story of Jesus Christ. They recognize the name but know nothing of the story behind him. The only reason they don't believe is their complete ignorance of what the gospels say, to the point that they don't even know the crucifixion aspect of it.

2. Upon hearing a few sentence retelling of the Jesus story from a complete stranger, these people are instantly converted. They just instantly believe it because someone they've never met before told it to them.

The Muslim in the tract was beaten so badly that the doctor said that he would have died without treatment. He's likely pretty dizzy after that, and maybe doped up on pain killers. When he recovers, he may not even remember his conversion.

I picked that panel to colorize because the conversation is so bizarre. I first read it as two sentences: "I never heard that. Allah loves me." Which means Clark Gable is simply being contrarian, and Omar is making much sense. Then I saw that it actually says "I never heard that Allah loves me.", which just makes no sense at all. I tried to think of a clever way to use my incorrect, but the original text is weird enough on its own.
 
If I can paraphrase what the kids are saying on the interwebs.

Mr. Chick, you should treat your religion like your penis. Not only is it very inappropriate to wave it around in public, it is also very inappropriate to draw pictures of it and encourage your friends to place those pictures under other people's windshield wipers.
 
What the hell is wrong with that girl's eyes??! She looks like she has just discovered the middle of her gob-stopper is goat-dung flavour.
 
What is the deal with the fang-toothed dog?

It seems to make an appearance in every one of his tracts.

Cute little bugger.
 
You're making the mistake of trying to find reason in Mr. Chicks tracts. The man is not entirely sane and what we see in his tracts is his own tiny sect of Protestant Christianity. He believes in a KJV only form of christian religion for instance any translation of the KJV into modern english is a sin in his eyes.

Jack Chick calls catholics and Muslims and Jews precious in one breath and in another condemns to an eternal Hell of fiery torment.

Jack Chick is unique in that he has comics which illustrate his illness. I see paranoia and murder in this mans comics.
 
Is Jack Chick crazy?

Maybe I'm the crazy one. On one hand Jack Chick represents everything I'm against. As an atheist I'm of course not religious myself but I personally would never put another person down because of their religion. I try to be decent to Jews, Muslims, Protestants including (gasp) Jehovah Witnesses etc.

Jack Chick on the other hand seems to hate everybody outside of his own sphere of influence. Showing people including teens covered with fire while being gleefully watxhed by horned demons.

I find it difficult to stop reading, posting and commenting on his dirty little tracts. If only the art wasn't so good.
 
To misquote someone else about someone else (I've long since forgotten the specifics):
I don't think you could have him put in an asyslum. On the other hand, if he was in an asylum, I don't think you could get him out.
