  • This episode I read a Chick Tract; a religious comic book meant to preach a southern baptist form of Christianity but which are usually over the top and offensive. This one is "Lisa". After counting the tropes found within the comic, I go out and feed some homeless people without preaching to them.

      Sure, he broke the law, but that’s only the law of man, and clearly this doctor believes in a higher law, and Jesus never said anything about obeying the laws of man... you know, except when he did.

      @VT Alt The postage for a first-class stamp was never 17 cents. It jumped from $0.15 to $0.18 in March 1981. I think a presorted rate is depicted in the Chick Tract. I couldn't find historical presorted rate info at USPS so the ultimate date for the animation is still a mystery to me.

    I waa homeless for two years in Denver a long time ago, and my main entertainment was comic books through their library. They have a good selection of TPBs of many genres, so support your local libraries.

      No it’s actually more evil than you’d suspect, (ASK ABOUT WHAT I’M ABOUT TO TELL YOU) christians believe that if you never hear about Jesus and you die after a good life you get stuck in limbo (a boring middle ground but better than hell) but if a christian gives you a shitty pitch about how jesus will let you fuck children and you don’t convert because your religion is against incestuous pedophilia then you are sentenced to hell forever and ever and ever and ever... because christians operate on the principle of “be evil, without exception”
      Oh you want to argue? Who fought against giving out free healthcare like Jesus? THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT
      Who fought against giving condoms to AIDs ravaged africa in the 80s and 90s?
      THE CHRISTIANS RIGHT
      Who currently supports a president who’s boarder guards are torturing children too young to know what they did wrong?
      THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT
      Who is fighting every day to make sure raped women with diseased babies sure to die shortly after birth must go through every bit of that awful trauma?
      THE CHRISTIAN RIGHT
      the list goes on and on, without question they are the single most evil thing on the planet... they have the power to help but instead choose to ignore Jesus’ “let the man with 2 tunics give 1 to the man with none” and instead hold onto their money while their neighbors suffer and die around them of easily preventable problems while simultaneously trying to make sure their souls are sent to hell instead of limbo.

      @@jerkfudgewater147 you seem pretty angry, but your anger might be misguided. First, you're equating the "Christian right" (a political movement) with Christianity (a diverse faith). Not the same thing.
      And I think you're confusing limbo for the Roman Catholic belief in purgatory. The Christian Right is largely made up of protestants, not Catholics, and they don't believe in that.
      I won't argue that some Christians are wrong, and that evil has been done in the name of Jesus, but that's true of all greatly influential people. And honestly, no one has been more influential or misrepresented than Jesus in the western world. But you're lumping a LOT of people into a blank statement.

    What most concerns me about this story is that almost all of the tracts are intended for some type of person to see themselves in the main character. You are supposed to see the tract aimed at your demographic and go "Oh shit! I'v got the same problems as the dude in this story! I was worried but now this comic has told me how to fix this by turning to Jesus."
    So one day, one of the people who makes these tracts decided that they had a gap in the product line and dudes who gave their 10 year old daughters herpes were slipping through that crack. Which seems like the sort of thing that only someone abusing their daughter would come up with.

      Fun religious fact! If your a southern baptist (like the guy who made the comic) or any other christian denomination where salvation requires faith and not acts (most protestant sects), then all the characters in the story go strait to heaven. As long as you believe in Jesus and feel bad about sinning you are golden.
      Fun religious fact part 2! Child molesting is not prohibited by the bible. Also, although the bible has a long list of family members it is unacceptable to bang, daughter is not in it (though it does seem implicitly forbidden by other, more general passages). So the only sin committed in this story that is explicitly condemned by the bible is adultery. If the main character had just married his daughter first then he wouldn't have had anything to worry about.

      Yes I agree, that a sandwich is needful for this physical body, but the spiritual is much more in need of the good food of the gospel, much more than the physical, maybe you should seek God about that ! and ask him to save your soul, if your not saved, and seek him to help you find employment !! God doesn`t want his children bagging for food, I have never had to bag for anything, the whole time I`ve been a Christian, from the age of eight years old, have I gone hungry ? you might ask, sure I have, but God is his wisdom, and understanding, gave me what I needed, at the right time, every time, we tend not to see it , though, when were going through the trails, but looking back, it becomes obviously clear he did, sir / mam . which ever you may be, please dont get offended, but a sandwich wont heal the sin sick soul, that we all have, because you`ll, we`ll, be needing another sandwich tomorrow, but God can heal the longing of your soul, where you`ll never feel empty again, and he will change your desires, from the lusts for the things of the flesh, to the desire for the eternal things of the Spirit, so the question is, do you want an eternal fix, ?, or a temporal fix?, the Lord said, Seek ye first the kingdom of God , and his righteousness, and all these things, ( you have need of ) will be added unto you ", sincerely R. H !!,

      Augustine could not have been a Roman Catholic Heretic since the Roman Catholic Church did not exist in the way you perceive it to be during the 4th century of our era. Certainly, you may not agree with everything he taught but what you profess is also different, yet, I don't call you a heretic. I think you're using the term too loosely because it doesn't fit _your_ interpretation of Christianity. Besides, you believed on Jesus Christ and your saved, right? Well, then continue living like Christ instead of trying to find a debate. Besides, debates are pointless due to our personal bias and human experience. I won't change your mind anymore than you'll change mine. This video is really about Jack Chick's treatment of the character of the father. The man needs to be thrown in prison. Even though he filled out his cosmic paperwork with Christ, establishing his faith and conversion, he must pay for the crime. If you had a daughter and discovered that some bloke sexually molested her, I highly doubt you'll be like: Well, he gave his life to Christ so I forgive him...go ahead and start preaching the gospel. No, more than likely you'll forgive him (as a Christian should) and then call the police and allow justice according to our law to be served. That, or you'll beat the crap out of him and then call the cops...which, I admit, I would probably do.

      Have you ever thought about how bizarre the crucifixion story is? Imagine the all-powerful, all-knowing creator of the universe sitting on his magnificent throne in heaven. He looks down onto earth and says to himself:
      Those evil humans down on earth. I hate what they are doing. All this sin...
      Since I am all-knowing I know exactly what the humans are doing and I understand exactly why they commit each sin. Since I created the humans in my own image and personally programmed human nature into their brains, I am the direct author of all of this sin. The instant I created them I knew exactly what would happen with every single human being right down to the nanosecond level for all eternity. If I didn't like how it was going to turn out, I could have simply changed them when I created them. And since I am perfect, I know exactly what I am doing. But ignore all that. I hate all these people doing exactly what I perfectly designed them to do and knew they would do from the moment I created them. I HATE IT! I tried killing all the humans and animals once in the flood. That certainly did not fix the problem.
      So here's what I am going to do. I will artificially inseminate a virgin. She will give birth to an incarnated version of me. The humans will eventually crucify and kill the incarnated me. That, finally, will make me happy. Yes, sending myself down and having the humans crucify me -- that will satisfy me. I feel much better now.
      It makes no sense, does it? Why would an all-knowing being need to have humans kill himself (Jesus is God, after all) to make himself happy? Especially since it is a perfect God who set the whole thing in motion exactly the way he wanted it? The whole story of the crucifixion is absurd from top to bottom if you actually stop to think about it.

    Someone might have already mentioned this to you, but to be fair to the Southern Baptists, AFAIK Jack Chick is a Pentecostal. The most succinct Chick example of how the Pentecostal religion is flawed, was a tract about two characters in the Old West. Black Bart, a murderer, repents and goes to heaven--the sheriff, unsaved, who caught Black Bart, dies and goes to hell. Good works? Nope! Just pray to God (in our very specific way) and get saved!

      Well said David, it is also a fact, that when Jack Chick began to print the Alberto series of Crusader comics and the "Are Roman Catholics Christians"? tracts, the Southern Baptist Churches, along with most all
      the other once Protestant churches, stopped buying His tracts and began to reject Him and His tract ministry. Even "So-called" Christian Book stores
      stopped selling His material, or kept it tucked away in a drawer so as
      NOT to offend anyone, while still selling them to those who asked for
      them,( so as NOT to lose any revenue) all the while denouncing His Anti-Catholic stance as well as His Homophobic, Anti-Muslim, Anti-Sinner's tracts, the list goes on and on. There are a few Southern
      Baptist churches left, who have NOT bowed the knee to the pope and
      his other idols, they call Patron Saints. Praise God He's coming back

      I'm in total agreement with You Dave, but there are a few that have not

      not bowed, have had to remove the title of the SBC from their church
      name and affiliation. I myself attend a Baptist church that still preaches from the KJV, ( the authorized version, NOT the New KJV)
      they didn't have Chick tracts when I started there 5 years ago, but . . .
      they do now!! Praise God! Yes, the SBC has lifted that Baptism way up
      there, almost as high as the Church of Christ, but, we both know, that
      even when Elijah was saying He was the only one, God had to remind
      Him of the other 700 who had not "Bowed the knee to Baal, either.

Also, the biblical translations approved by the catholic church are all based on the latin vulgate, where as protestant translations like the NIV are based on manuscripts older than the sources used to produce vulgate. So its hard to say the catholic church is the source of protestant bibles as they are substantively different, and even the books canonized by the council of Trent were the books which were popular at the time.

      @@outsider344 even with that in mind historically it was still the Catholic church that turned Christianity into the cultural juggernaut that it has become. They were the ones that introduced the concept to most of the western world.
      I wasn't implying at all that the religions are identical, but its more than a bit disingenuous to pretend that the culture put forth by the Catholic church that has spread to pretty much every corner of this world, didn't lay the ground work for almost every off-shoot that Christianity has.
      Heck, even now when people think of what Jesus himself looks like, it is more often than not the version put forth by renaissance artists, usually at the behest of Catholic patrons. It definitely isn't the greco-Roman one without the beard.

    So I started watching this thinking "oh I love chick-tracks, they're so disturbingly hateful" but I had to stop watching this video half way through because it went further than even I was prepared for. So, if you're stats say "people watching this video bugged out at 11 minutes" its because the Chick Track is so awful I felt sick and angry and had to move on to the next video.
    Which reminds me a bit about how powerful comic books can be, and how underestimated they can be at conveying information for good or ill. So with that in mind I have a concept I'd love to hear your opinion on, broadly speaking censorship and comics. Big budget movies never got the heavy handed censors that comics did, and I think thats in part because commercial investors prevented big budget films from being too far from the commercial center. But comic books don't have that huge financial upfront cost, and can convey information just as well or perhaps better.
    I'd really be interested in your take on the Boiled Angel case, and if you can find a copy, maybe review that comic since it is so historic ('only artist in america to ever be forbidden from making art') and I'd like your views on why comics attract censors the same way music, video games and movies do but with comics historically the censors get much more power.

Never recall it being free. As I recall it was $10 for 3 days but VCRs were around $200 at the time. Solved the problem by getting a computer with a DVD player in 1997 which had a bigger screen (17") than my 13"-TV. Which also solved the fact that only two rental place had English films.

And it was more about the rich man not using his money and resources to help those who have nothing then it was about Hell.

      Please lay all your feelings about organized religion and just think for a minute; a friend sacrificed himself in the most humiliating way and he did all of that just to save you from what you ultimately deserve which is death. Is that not real love? How would you respond to such a thing? Think of it another way, someone you knew was longsuffering with you enough to put up with you stabbing them in back constantly and he still wanted you to be saved. That back stabbing is your sin, your wrongdoings. How many lies have you told? How much porn have you watched? Have you stolen anything, even something small?

    When you played Henry, you kinda sounded like Pops from Regular Show. Pretty disgusting comic, indeed. Happy that you helped these people at the end with sandwiches. :-)

    Fun fact: Chick Tracts are actually banned in Canada as hate literature.
    (Didn't stop some dude from handing them out on the street at a Fringe Theatre Festival here a couple years ago, though)

    Big kick of Chris' earlier content and this one is a fabulous example of the channel - funny, daft (in a good way) terrific analysis of a fringe property and Chris being an absolute legend. I think I've got one of those emotional hangovers but the ending was so sweet it had me grinning.

    Honestly, they could fix all their familiar issues in only 10 minutes and here's how.
    1:Mom murders Dad and the other guy
    2: mom puts the kids up for adoption
    3: mom turns herself in to the police

      What should have happened after the Doctor scene is:
      Doctor:' "one more thing." *calls out the door* "Nurse, send him in!"
      *another man walks in*
      "Hi, my name is Chris Hanson. You can run if you want, but the police are watching the building and the lobby.*

    I remember my friend and I were attending a school at a technical college. We decided to leave some tracts in the break room for anyone who wanted them. One day we went to have lunch and we found that someone had left a bunch of Chick tracts in the break room next to ours. I haven't seen them since I was a kid so I picked one up. It was awful! The art was bad, the story was ridiculous, and the doctrine was way off. My friend and I both agreed it was ridiculous. If you want to read Christian fiction pick up a copy of Pilgrim's Progress or a Frank Peretti novel, just skip the the Chick tracts.
    The tract that was read in the video is disgusting!🤢🤮

    ... the time and place to witness to someone like Henry is during a prison ministry, not while confronting him on the evidence and testimony against his abhorrent repeated abuse of his daughter.
    Another trope of Chick is trying to include so many issues & sins in one "story" that they become so conflated & muddied that it looses all the gusto intended and only people who hear those topics associated with each other on a regular basis in Christian media and sermons aren't confused by the bizarre mixture.

    I was given this by an old Vietnamese lady outside my elementary school when I was like 6, she kept saying “people think it’s a joke but it’s not a joke” and she was genuinely using these as religious recruitment material on very small children. It’s always been a cloudy, distant memory, this is the first time since then I’ve ever seen these things and I’m even more annoyed by that ladies actions now than I was at the time.

    Finding out your child patient has been molested.
    In a Chick Tract: Let's Pray so you'll never do it again.
    In Real Life: Hello Police, I have a patient who says she's been sexually abused by her father.
