Jack Chick - RationalWiki
"Jack Thomas Chick (b. 13 April 1924) is an American Christian fundamentalist well known for Chick Publications, commonly called "Chick lit tracts." His tracts cover various aspects of the Christian faith, including the principles of tolerance and love as well as the Catholics' satanist conspiracy to overthrow God's reign on earth. Or...something.[1] His claims about the Jesuits, for instance, include that they were responsible for the creation of the Qur'an, they tutored Karl Marx, started the Soviet Union and even got the Tsar's gold as a reward.[2] Jesuits controlled the Gestapo and were responsible for the Holocaust, and somehow this is being deliberately withheld from the American people because of the seemingly infinite influence of the Catholic Church on the media.[3] As a general rule, his tracts read like the ramblings of a paranoid schizophrenic and make Pat Robertson look sane and mellowed out in comparison. Of course, not even Jack can compare to the late Fred Phelps and his group.
Jack T. Chick appears to be rather camera shy, but at least one photo that is supposed to be of him was found on the 'net.
Questionable source material
Jack Chick is notorious for using questionable and just plain ludicrous "testimonies" as source material. Some (Rivera, Todd, and Brown) were since exposed as frauds, but Chick continues to publish those tracts and comics:
* Rebecca Brown
* Des Griffin
* Kent Hovind
* Alberto Rivera
* William Schnoebelen[88]
* John Todd
Links to 'anti' Chick site parodies (go to link for working links, but descriptions were worth mentioning heh):
"Anti
* Enter the Jabberwock. Great and funny dissections of Chick tracts from a agnostic/atheist view.
* Boolean Union Tract Dissections. Dissections of Chick tracts similar to Jabberwock.
* Jack Chick's Funnybook Gospel. Reviews of Chick tracts and general discussion of Chick's favorite hobbyhorse issues.
* Mystery Science Theater 3000 dissects a Jack Chick tract. Contains awesome mockery of Chick (il)logic.
* Who's your Daddy. Realistic parody of Jack Chick's "Big Daddy".
* The Nightmare World of Jack T. Chick. Catholic website telling what's wrong with the tracts.
* The Jack T. Chick Parody Archive contains satire tracts such as:
* Dead to Rites (Satire of "Last Rights")
* Somebody Loves You?
* The Good, The Bad, and the Fundy (Satire of "Gun Slinger with some other tracts thrown in") "
