  • 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

I just told you that that analogy does not work in this case, because with Jack Chick you can pick tracts that are valid from ones that are invalid for use in witnessing, while in the Brownies they are entirely ruined. Lies do not spoil Truth, because Truth is everlasting.



Lets look at it this way. Instead of having 1 batch of ruined brownies, you have 2 batches, one ruined and one good, the good ones you eat, that is, the good tracts.
No because you are assuming the good tracts are true and that "brining someone to Christ” using his tract justifies him and it doesn’t for the simple fact, he teaches error.

Actually, it's nothing like that (I suffer from no inferiority complexes:)), but we did discuss this. :) Although I first came accross it in an article in This Rock magazine: Meet Jack Chick;)

I just finished reading that article. It was hilarious and insightful. :thumbsup:

Being down south Jukes, is it laughable to you too? To even considered believing the Church is behind the KKK. The KKK hates Catholics as much as they hate blacks and Jews.

Aw c'mon Shelb. I was just having some fun. I didn't mean to ruffle your feathers:groupray:

What's wrong with mayonnaise?

Nothing . . . in fact, I recently emptied the conditioner bottle in our bathroom and substituted it with mayonnaise . . . as a prank (I know, I'm a riot! :p ). My wife liberally (I hate that word:)) worked it into her hair before noticing . . . :D :D My brief time in the doghouse was worth the laugh. ;)

Yeah, Jack Chick has some skewed views of Catholicism, but, some of his comics are very truthful. At least we know that some good is coming from this person.

:confused: What good is coming from this person?????
I've been a Christian for 22 years now, and I have yet to meet someone who has come to Christ through reading a chick tract.

Have you guys heard of this guy? I was on catholic.com, and I ran into this article about him. The guys disturbed. He's some comic book publisher that thinks the Catholic church was behind the formation of Islam, mormonism, unity, Christian Science, the creation of the KKK, the Civil War, the assasination of Abe Lincoln, the Holocaust, starting to see the picture? People like this make me sick.

Jack T. Chick happens to be why I started brushing up on my knowledge of my faith when I was 18. A fellow classmate handed me a couple of tracks. I knew they were wrong, but couldn't refute them effectively. Set me on a path of finding out, not just what I believe, but why.

PS. James Akin drew a picture of him on his blog a few months ago....he looked just like the Unabomber :D

I still think Chick is a Jesuit operative using reverse psychology.

Anyway, when I was a liturgical dancer being held prisoner in a demon-haunted bingo hall (before my rescue at the hands of Alberto), I actually saw what I recall as a half-way decent Chick tract.

I just chalked it up as part of his devilishly clever papist strategy to keep everyone guessing.

Then again, maybe it was somebody else's tract.

Nevermind.
