Anyone looking for more of this, check out Boolean Union
I found this site years ago, but I haven't visited it in forever. They dissect Chick Tracts, and the site is a great way to read the full source material. From a cursory look, it seems they're still going strong to this day, up to Tract #285 now (there are still new ones being published). It's not just Chick Tracts, they've covered a lot of other evangelical fundamentalist pieces.
EDIT: I was a bit wrong, they just have every tract CATALOGUED on their site. By no means have they dissected them all, though they have quite a bit to dissect. The page I linked is a list of tracts that, when clicked, redirect to the Jack Chick website, where you can read them in full. Anyone looking for in-depth dissections can find them elsewhere on the Boolean Union site.
What’s it about religious fundamentalists that they can’t be happy unless they take someone else’s dignity? There are so many gay men, all of them were raped? What about the Bi men? Were they only half raped by this logic?
What's especially wild to me, personally, is that I grew up reading these as a very young kid, like single digits. I would be excited when I saw a new one, because it was a "fun comic" to read to pass the time in church! It's so, so, so, so, so, so fucked up. There was a spinning rack of them in the lobby of every church of a certain stripe.

Literally none of that makes sense. 5/7
Just your typical christian propaganda.
It has a happy ending, in case you were worried about Ashley. She's all good!
No wonder Ashley died with Jesus' cum in her heart. What a sicko, that guy.
What a relief! I was worried she might outlive her grandma. Thanks for tying up the cliffhanger.
This feels like something you would see your grandma see while browsing Facebook including the panel arrangement

These particular ones are sadly all still available at chick.com. They have some real doozies.
Oh Jack T. Chick will never stop, even after death. I wonder if they still sell the AIDS and homosexual ones from the 80s.
They're all still there. Some you have to "special order" if you want the physical ones.
I remember reading great Chick dissections at Enter the Jabberwock back in the day. I think it's not up anymore but still accessible on wayback https://web.archive.org/web/20071011174941/http://enterthejabberwock.com/?cat=12
Lmao that’s hilarious.. got any more?
You know it. I've got a whole folder of favorites. Here's a fun one:

That’s how things get normalized, if no one questions them you can just sneak in a bunch of shit.
Should try that with the gospel of Judas, basically saying that the Abrahamic god is one of many. Mainstream that shit.
But we need less religion, not more of it…
It's sooooo easy to find counter examples to that, like me. But I guess lying is a good strategy for them.
Yeah, don't misconstrue me as supporting the messages of Chick tracts. I think their absurdity is (hopefully) inherently clear. They're insane.
Look up "Chick Tracts".
