Chickinism

This is my invented word for the insane yet entertaining teachings of Jack Chick. You can go to www.chick.com to see more. Chick teaches things like satanic conspiracy theories, that the pope is the antichrist. That Jesuits secretly control the world and that gay people are trying to control your mind. The guy is a looney.

He is more well known for his theologically weak, "scare the hell" out of you tracts that I believe do more harm then good. Maybe hell is a fire fueled by burning chick tracts.

The scary thing is I have met people in Churches who believe his crap. They think their neighbors are closet satanists. That pastors secretly follow the dark one and that those homos are out there to convert little Johnny to be a satan worshipping homosexual, liberal, got hating jesuit. I see some of the fruits of chickinism in the religious right teachings. People ACTUALLY BELIEVE THIS HORSESHIT.

I am not knocking his passion and zeal. That he has. But come on. Good Christian church going family men by day and gay satan worshipping Jesuits by night. WTF?

Jack Chick is almost as damaging to Christianity as Pat Robertson. More proof that people do what they are told.

The "cult" church i was part of years ago that taught that the world would end in 1993 used to buy into all this chickinism conspiracy crap. Dangerous. It would be funny if it wasnt so dangerous

it wouldn't surprise me if chikin himself isn't a closet satanist.

like on the news last night, there was a guy on john mccain's campaign staff or something who quit because it came out he was a "john"/consumer of prostitution, when all along he railed against homosexuals as a threat to traditional family values or some such bullshit. what a f_ing hypocrite. well, its more proof that NOT CHEATING is better for families than creating a false threat out of what is naturally occurring in nearly every population of living species, homosexuality, that is.

i should have got my facts straight, it wasn't one of mccain's staff, but rather a republican congressman Vitter from Louisiana. It doesn't detract really from my point, but in the interest of accuracy, i submit this correction.

Thanks for the correction. It still makes the same point. Reminds me a bit of Ted Haggard
