Tonight I was working on the network at my church, running cable to a room that's currently being used to store lots of miscellaneous crap. While I was moving some stuff around to make room for my ladder, I found a small pile of Jack Chick tracts sitting next to a large pile of matches. I thought to myself, "if this isn't a sign from God, I don't know what is."
If you're unfamilar with Chick tracts, here are a few examples from what I found and from the catalog on his website:
I don't know how they got there; I'm hoping they've been there since before we moved in to the building a few years ago, but there's a small part of me that's afraid someone actually brought this trash into our church. But, no worries, it's been taken care of:
"It is finished."
Comments:
Ian, that is just GREAT! :-)
Ha! I can almost hear their tiny shrieks of rage as they're consumed. "Heretic! Peacenik! Jew-lover! See you in hell! Arrrrgh..."
Nicely done! My ex used to work for a Christian guy at a resturaunt, and the guy used to put Chick tracts (along with mini-Bibles, church pamphlets and the like) in the restrooms. I got extremely excited to see one when I went in there. And by "extremely excited", I mean "take it so no one else does".
In the bathroom?! I can see it now:
"Well, I was at Skyline and that fifth Cheese Coney wasn't really agreeing with me. So, I went to the bathroom to... uh, you know, and I found a small book that told the story of how a little girl named Heidi, who was dying of some terrible illness, got saved on Halloween. I decided to accept Jesus into my heart right there with my pants around my ankels!"
lol! I despise chik tracts! As a Christian it makes me angry to see crap like this spread around. It makes it harder for those of us who are sincere to be taken seriously.
"ankels"?
Sheesh. I really do need to remember to check my spelling when being judgemental. Otherwise it just looses its effect, ya know?
Did you notice, that on the second to last picture there... The only tract that didn't burn the front cover was "the beast"... and it looks like a dog's face.... holding it in his teeth. The one below it (the last one) looks very angry... almost freakish. And I'm not really one to believe. That's too weird.
