Jack Chick is dead at 92.

The very worst kind of evangelical: racist, anti-semitic, chauvinist, sexist, homophobic.

He published the so-called Chick tracts. Small comic books on numerous topics such as abortion, evolution, gay rights, Catholicism.

He was a horrible person with monstrous views and lends evidence to the view that only the good die young

People say rest in peace, but for Mr. Chick I would make an exception- if only I thought there were any rest in death for anybody, or anything in death for anybody.

He's the first kind of person who would gloat over atheists going to hell and finding out they were wrong all along.

Such sentiments are entirely asymmetric. If there really is nothing there for Jack he'll never know. He'll just be dead.

At least the living are in a better place without him.

Friends and I used to collect his comics in high school. The inability to tell if they were serious or not was half the appeal.

While we're on the topic, if you haven't purchased this movie and watched it with friends, you are dead to me:

When my little brother in law had a couple friends over for role playing I told them they had to watch it first. ;)

The bad news is, if his invisible magic man, and his hell, don't actually exist, he won't face any post-mortem consequences for his spreading of vitriol and hate. He'll simply decompose.

What would be hilarious, though, would be if the universe were structured so that there was a hell, but only supernaturalists who thought it was real ever got to see it.

I imagine he's probably having having a fun time right now explaining to Anubis or Thor or whoever the real gods are why he spent his life propagandising for a false religion, and why he shouldn't have to spend eternity in that giant pit filled with crocodiles.
Never ascribe to stupidity that which is the logical consequence of malice.

The kind of upstanding citizen who makes you wish there really WAS a god, who he would proudly go to stand in front of, and have the Big Man shake his head and say "I've seen your work, Jack...and really, dude...."
