  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Jack Chick RIP

I heard about this a couple of days ago, and remember Jack Chick for his comic book style tracks. Admittedly, there are a few that I like: The Four Brothers, Somebody Loves Me, and Big Daddy. He obviously had very strong convictions and views, some of which I personally disagreed with (KJVO, anti-rock music, Catholics are "unsaved", etc.) but I still respected them as it is instructed in Romans 14 to do, and admonished him as a brother who shares with me and other Christians the common bond of Jesus Christ as personal Lord and Savior, which is ultimately the thing that matters.

My condolences and prayers go out to Mr. Chick's family.

RIP in peace my brother.............

Jack Chick - Wikipedia

Jack Thomas Chick (April 13, 1924 – October 23, 2016) was an American cartoonist and publisher, best known for his evangelical fundamentalist Christian "Chick tracts", which presented his perspective on a variety of issues through sequential-art morality plays.

Many of Chick's views were controversial, as he accused Roman Catholics, Freemasons, Muslims, Jews and many other groups of murder and conspiracies.[3] His comics have been described by Robert Ito, in Los Angeles magazine, as "equal parts hate literature and fire-and-brimstone sermonizing".[4]

Chick Publications is known to have released over twenty-three full-color "Chick comics" since its founding. They are full-size comic books, and most were first published between 1974 and 1985. The first eleven form the Crusader comics series, which follows the stories of two fundamentalist Christians and addresses topics such as the occult, Bible prophecy, and the theory of evolution.[22]

Chick Publications also distributes "Chick tracts", small comic tracts with religious messages. Most of these can be viewed in their entirety on the company's website. The most popular Chick tract was "This Was Your Life!". It has been translated into around 100 languages,[6] and many other tracts are available in widely spoken languages

Wow, it's almost been a year.

The Bible Reloaded guys are starting to review post Jack Chick tracts.. and sadly a lot of the subtle racism/misogyny and general craziness is gone. Not as fun to critique for a laugh.

I would challenge the usage of the word subtle.
