New Jack Chick Tract!

I don't get it--is taking drugs, or purchasing them, a sin? The deacon-officer's position seemed to be that the guy was going to hell because he didn't go to church, etc....but he just assumed the guy wasn't a churchgoer. Do churchgoers never buy drugs?

A cop in uniform preaching to civilians? Isn't that a civil lawsuit?

Yes, that would seem to smack of a separation of church/state violation as well.

Black Deacon saves criminals. Finally, Chick gets it that black people haven't all been on drugs.

An interesting bit of psychology here. Notice that the black cop is always depicted as taller and bigger than everyone else in the frame...

But preventing the cop from preaching would be violating his freedom of religion! Countersuit!
 
Is that an emaciated Martha Stewart in a fake beard?

He looks more like my friend Kevin, but I don't have any pictures for comparison. I always suspected he was going to Hell for no apparent reason.

All Chick tracts do that. The main characters are always muscular and tall men, perfect looks and intelligent, while the "evil guys" usually are drawn ugly, stinking, short and a bit plump or clearly weak / thin.

This one was the best comment in the tract: "This is God's man! It's a wonder you didn't get hit by lightning!" This assumes that getting hit by a lightning is the norm, from which we were now miraculously spared.
 
I think there is a valuable lesson to be learned here: if luck can prevent you from being stuck dead by God's thunderbolt, then luck is a force more powerful than God! Well, I'm off to Vegas to prove how luck is preventing the fortune God owes me...
 
That Chick is one funny guy! I wish I could write parodies like that!
 
Anyone else notice that the cop didn't even bother to get any kind of a statement from the druggie about the crime. I mean it looked like a mass slaying went on, you might want to try to get a description of the people who did it or something.

It was God's will. Why worry about that?

Read Souls Story.

"You stupid jive turkey!"

I'm curious, has Jack T. Chick seen real black people, or just read about them?
 
So god does good stuff like save Clancy and them from the mob, but apparently the forget to credit god for forming the mob and hurting Clancy in the first place.
 
I saw another one:

The Devil's Night

The ongoing story of Littl' Suzy handing out chick tracts in halloween candy. Isn't this one of the reasons that people start to get peeved about Chick fans*.

*the ones that actually believe what he says. Not the ones who read them for entertainment value.

But that's not luck, c4ts. The correct theological term is "predestination". One man's name is written in the book of death, and he gets hit by lightning. Another man's name is written in the book of life, so he is spared and will be converted later.

I believe that acting as an agent of the government removes certain rights from you as a person while you are acting in that capacity. This would fall under free speech (nobody is hampering his personal religion), and government officials do not have free speech rights, I think, as they are acting as an official of the state when they are on duty, and they have an audience that cannot ignore them ;-). See prayer in school as an example. He can proselytize when he is out of uniform...
