It's hard for me to believe that we've never speared Jack Chick here at Kinda Kitschy. Who is this enigmatic we I'm referring to? That's beside the point.
Some people have referred to Chick's tracts, or at least some of them, as offensive. I think that may be taking a slightly harder line than necessary, but they are definitely, how do you say, fundamental?
So I'm throwing up a classic doozy for your collective disdain today. The Ironic Catholic should find this one especially close to home.
I'll say it. Ouch!
As painful as it is for me to say it, I used to read Chick Tracts and use them for evangelism. Yep, when I used to be a fiery junior preacher, I threw this particular one at my dear, sweet, unsuspecting grandmother. If I remember right, she just read it, set it aside, and went to sleep. She's a smart woman.
I've settled down since then, but Mr. Chick is still printing tracts. I haven't seen any of the new ones, and honestly, I'm probably better off.
While I disagree with much of the theology and practices of Roman Catholicism at large, I've learned that Catholics differ in their belief as often or more than Protestants differ in theirs. However, Jack lumps all Catholics into one category, as I believe he does with Muslims, Jews, and most other people.
Let's all say it together: For it is by grace that you have been saved, through faith. Faith alone, in Christ alone.
'Nuff said.
So let's be a little more forgiving and a little less stereotypical of our brothers and sisters on the other side of the Reformational track. I'm sure they'll appreciate it. And here's my chance to poke a little fun.

For all his hubris, Jack Chick never dared call into question the sanctity of Humor-Blogs.com!
