Jack CHick dead at 92

[Keith&Co.]

My home town was about half Mormon and half Catholic. All damned in Chick's eyes.

I don't recall seeing a Chick Tract until I entered the service. And I never saw anyone handing them out. Just left out in low-traffic areas, or toilet stalls. Someplace no one would see them dropping a tract...

Time, space or both? I went through school sponsored religious indoctrination in rural Georgia in the early 1960's. Same state where IDiots are continuing to try to get their "science" installed as required curriculum.

We apparently grew up in different county school systems. I grew up in rural Georgia too (about half way between Savannah and Brunswick) graduating high school in the early 1960s but I never heard of Chick until I ran into a Chick Tract on the internet probably in the late 1990s. The only mention of god I remember from school was in the Pledge of Allegiance - yeah, we were required to say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning.

I didn't know it was Jack Chick, but they handed out a tract that I still remember to this day. In all likelihood it was initiated by one of the larger local churches, possibly the one attended by the principal of the grade school in question, who knows. I had no idea who Jack Chick was until many years later, but my memory of that tract and its similarity to Jack Chick tracts I saw later in life is pretty strong.

Not all of my teachers in those earlier years of mine held morning devotionals/prayers/etc., but several did.

Chick tracts have a blank "Compliments Of.." box on the back cover, so your church can get "credit" for spreading them -- like a skin rash. I used to write 'From your local Christian psychopaths' and leave them on newspaper machines.
