Anyone remember the old Chick religious tracts?

I used to see these all the time back in the 80s, but I really haven't seen any in several years. Apparently, they're still around, they have a whole website where you can browse through them. They're just as vile, bigoted, homophobic, and hateful as ever. They have something to offend anyone. Are they still passing these things out?

Also, I'm not quite sure what "adapted for black audiences" means, but there are several tracts that have been adapted in such a manner.

Here are a few examples, if you can stomach them:

1. Jack Chick holds the world record for being the most published author in the world

Each one of those seedy little tracks counts as a published work. And yes he has been very active and around this entire time. Spreading his form of hatred to the world.

2. If they feel it necessary to "adapt" for black audiences,

that tells me all I need to know.

Oh dear. I have images blocked because I'm on dialup, but when I replied I saw the disgusting things. These need to be spread far and wide, with derision and *real* information attached.

3. I can't believe that man isn't in a mental institution

How can somebody be that far from reality and still walk around outside? :crazy:

4. I remember them from when I was at Wash State University

We had a guy on our floor who distributed them.
I think it happens less because they violate the 'hate-speech' policies of many universities.

5. Gays, Jews, Catholics, Muslims... what's the other one- D&D Players?

I'm just trying to figure out exactly who I'm supposed to be hatin', here.

6. Yep, exactly

Also, I learned that Halloween was started as a ritual where pagans would kidnap children for human sacrifice.
