dear religious nut retard

I did not like walking into the bathroom at work and being greeted by the six or so "chick tracts" that you left on the sink? What is a "chick tract" ? They're poorly written, pocket sized "comic books" of religious propaganda.

If it were a testament Bible or a smiley face Jesus sticker or something, I would have left it alone. Instead, I thought like "what the hell is this?" and quickly skimmed the one about Halloween.

Here's how the Halloween "chick tract" goes. These kids go trick or treating. They go from house to house. One person at the door is a witch. Another is a devil. The main kid's friend begins to get scared. He runs out onto the street after being told by a house that he's going to hell. The boy is killed by the car. The main character goes home and tells his parents how the friend's death was all his fault, the parents are like "yeah....surrender to Jesus." I shit you not. It was like something out of oldschool Mad Magazine, only not sarcastic.

It would have been different if the kids in the comic were "raising hell" and were out doing something bad. Not trick or treating, in fucking Charlie Brown ghost costumes. You can clearly tell just from that, that these comics are not only poorly written, they are something that 99.9999% of people see for the bullshit that it is. There's apparently a following on the internet for "chick tracts" for how unintentionally funny some of them are.

Like I said, I threw the bullshit "comics" away and got back to work. I Googled them during my break, and found out they were part of this series. The artist apparently made them for decades, until his death in 2016. He ripped off the style from Tales from the Crypt when he started them in the 60s. One of them sitting on the bathroom sink was titled "Titanic." I expected something about how it's a sin to have a crush on Leo Decaprio or some shit. No, this "chick tract" was about a person who didn't believe in God. Then God saved them on the Titanic. Yeah. Fuck all the other people. Fuck the lower class people who drowned first on the ship. No. You believe in God, everyone else gets to fuck off and die. This religious nut was retarded.

The Halloween one made me think of my great aunt. She was a wonderful person. The only person I've ever encountered who I think actually did believe in God, in the way she appeared to. She was NEVER a Bible thumper, she went to church and left ones that were corrupt, she would write things like "Jesus and I love you" in greeting cards, never anything else. She NEVER acted superior or preached. I bring her up because she loved Halloween. She always had large crowds of trick or treaters and loved making them happy. I think she liked doing something nice, making others happy, and that this was a safe activity. She would have thought these comics were nonsense.

Anyway. Whoever left that shit in the bathroom. Guess what? You gave a non-believer something to laugh about, and you further enforce his beliefs that religion is dangerous when in the hands of people like you. Telling everyone they're going to hell.
