James WhiteHOST
I've told the story about why.
James WhiteHOST
It was a Jack Chick track where Jack Chick asked you what would happen if you died and went to heaven and ran into Habakkuk on the streets of heaven.
James WhiteHOST
And he asked you, what did you think of my book? That's not necessarily the best reason to read the whole Bible.
James WhiteHOST
But it's not a bad reason.
GregHOST
It's the political preacher of Northern Ireland in the 1960s.
GregHOST
And he's saying the same thing that Southern Baptist preachers are saying in storefront churches, the same thing that the Jack Chick tracks used to say, the same things that John Calvin and Martin Luther used to say.
GregHOST
It's always the exact same myth, always the exact same anti-Catholic propaganda, exact same shape of the story.
GregHOST
In fact, here's the excerpt that made me lean forward and say, there it is.

GregHOST
It's a boogeyman story.
GregHOST
Rome is the Antichrist and the bishops are reptiles coming for your children.
GregHOST
If you jump about 100 years into the early 1900s, mid-1900s, You had this series of like little comic books that came out, put out by a guy named Jack Chick.
GregHOST
That's C-H-I-C-K, Jack Chick.
Travis AlltopGUEST
So he had Oliver B.
Travis AlltopGUEST
Green in hell, Lester Roloff in hell, and Jack Chick in hell.
Travis AlltopGUEST
Everybody's in hell.
Travis AlltopGUEST
Billy Graham, everybody that's ever said repent.
Braden CookGUEST
It became very popular.
Braden CookGUEST
Jack Chick, if you're familiar with Chick tracts, kind of based his stuff off of Alexander Hislop, but no historian takes this seriously.
Braden CookGUEST
It's not a serious claim.
Braden CookGUEST
You don't want to get into the rabbit hole.
Jay BurdenHOST
We're not talking down about, you know, kind of that is an art form.
Jay BurdenHOST
But it is interesting going through all of these, how much that cultural narrative relies more on people being exposed to Geraldo Rivera, people being exposed to Jack Chick.
Jay BurdenHOST
This sort of ridiculous kind of sensational carnival barker version of a broader kind of cultural response and then also tying it to other moral panics.
Jay BurdenHOST
So kind of bundling them together as, oh, you have ritual murder, Jack Smith complaining about Grand Theft Auto and your grandma telling you to turn your music down.
Joe McClainHOST
Still just the Erwin brothers.
Joe McClainHOST
Ang says, how about Jack Chick? Oh, yeah.
Joe McClainHOST
How many times people have, like...
Joe McClainHOST
Tried to nail me with the Jack Chick track.
Joe McClainHOST
I had my Tahoe parked out on the corner curb a few years back.
Joe McClainHOST
And because I have Catholic Radio bumper stickers on it, because all good Catholics obviously have Catholic Radio bumper stickers.
Joe McClainHOST
They're magnets.
Joe McClainHOST
They're magnets.
Self-DestructHOST

BenHOST
Oh, I wonder, I wonder is he, is Jack Chick one of the, uh, Christian, the Christian Zionists or whatever, those guys?
Self-DestructHOST
Hmm.
Self-DestructHOST
Wonder.

Robert SpitzerHOST
But what the heck? [laughs]
Doug KeckHOST
I s- I stopped subscribing to Jack Chick's books, uh-
Robert SpitzerHOST
Yeah.
Robert SpitzerHOST
[laughs]
Andrew M. HenryHOST
And that interpretation shaped American evangelical culture for decades.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
Hal Lindsey's prophecy book, the Left Behind novels, and the Christian comic books by Jack Chick all reflect the influence of Scofield's framework.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
And once the Cold War began, well, the fit seemed perfect.
Andrew M. HenryHOST
The Soviet Union was a powerful, atheistic superpower situated to the north of Israel and allied with several Middle Eastern states.
JustinHOST
Oh, yeah, that's interesting.
JustinHOST
I've never heard of that before because, yeah, the arguments usually that even Catholics repeat are like what you said, the Protestant arguments, the Jack Chick arguments, you know,
Christopher LawrenceGUEST
like...
JustinHOST
Yeah, yeah, like, and he was, of course, super anti-Catholic, too.
