There used to be a guy in the Times Square subway station with multiple tables covered in Chick Tracts in many languages and you could take a bunch at a time, it was great. That was at least like 15 years ago, I haven’t had a commute through there in ages but who knows maybe he’s still showing up.

At least they're telling people to drop the tracts with candy rather than instead of candy.

Why, when I was their age I took any number of gewgaws and doodads from adults, uphill, both ways in the snow and I thanked them for it, like it's implied to say in the Bible.

With the number of anti-Halloween tracts the whole "give tracts away with candy" thing seems a tad hypocritical. Edit: Semi-related, I remember when I was a kid some houses would display a symbol (some sort of cross, I think) which designated them as not participating in Halloween and to not go to their door. I am drawing a blank on the name of the symbol, and Google is not helping me determine it. I think it was a kind of unofficial thing, but it was widespread enough I did see it in the wild. Ring any bells?

i thought speaking in tongues was something that was supposed to happen spontaneously, as a gift from god or whatever. if it's something you have to practice, i wonder what that says about the whole phenomenon...

No, speaking in tongues was a miracle. Everyone nearby heard their own native tongue. It was like having a Universal Translator from Star Trek, or a first level cleric spell. The people who encourage speaking gibberish are not very good at critical reading skills. It was clearly God completely removing any language barriers for a while.

It is rare these days for me to get a Chick tract I don't already have, but this is one of them. Here is the very first printing of the very first Chick tract:  This lovely picture was removed shortly thereafter:  Speaking of rare tracts, I finally got around to scanning The Secret Weapon, which is easily the rarest Chick tract printed in the last 30 years:

I grew up in another Christian cult that didn’t speak in tongues and we’d always attribute their speaking in tongues as demon possession. One day I watched Jesus Camp and the camp leader just said to the kids “we’re going to speak in tongues now, shalalalalalabungbung.” And they all just did it. I was mildly surprised they didn’t at least fake a fade-in ofnthe babbling, it was just a thing they did to work themselves up. And it worked pretty well at doing that.

Thank you for continuing to post all this weird stuff. This is a weird question, but are there any physical measurements for those Chick tracts out there? Sometimes I entertain the idea of joining the long, long, long line of folks who've made mockeries of those things, and I figure I might as well get details as basic as the size right. Secondly, this probably goes here. https://twitter.com/ThatPazuzu/status/1186804522435403782

Sometimes I entertain the idea of joining the long, long, long line of folks who've made mockeries of those things, and I figure I might as well get details as basic as the size right. I'm pretty sure they are 2.5" x 5", but you might want to measure one just to be sure. I'd do it, but I am at work, tractless. This book has a page that shows you how to lay out your own tract:  I was hoping it was also on the author's website, but I can't find it. I'll bring the book to work tomorrow and scan that page. Speaking of that book, Kurt Kuersteiner says he'll be doing a kickstarter for a heavily revised version that has ALL of Chick's tracts. The original version is the best source for Chick tract collecting available so the new version should be awesome. Also, cheaper since he's doing it himself instead of going through another publisher. The Kins posted:Secondly, this probably goes here. Ahh, Veggietales. I almost forgot that show existed!   Christian programming is so bizarre. I remember seeing a Christian weightlifting show on TBN about 15 years ago. It was nothing but guys on steroids power lifting and screaming "Praise Jesus!" "Jesus, help me lift this!" and so on for half an hour. I wonder if it's on YouTube.... Also, Bible Man with Willie Ames from Charles in Charge was pretty special.

I never saw anything like that at my public high school. I did, however, see a cop who dressed up as Elvis and sang about law & order:  I got a free cassette of this at the time, but unfortunately I don't have it anymore. Oh god, it's even worse than I remember! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Obml0MsgxVk

I was never sure how it was legal in a public school. The church I was a part of in the mid 90's had these guys as guest one Sunday evening. Our pastor even performed with them (he was a beefy thick guy, but not like a weight lifter or anything). They did all kinds of strong man tricks like tear phone books in half break 2x4 boards by running through them. Stuff that looks impressive and is hard to do, but is more about knowing how to do rather than being awesomely strong. Before or after each trick, they would ask God for the strength to do whatever impossible thing they were doing, or thank him for giving them the power. The funny part about it is that our pastor would work tearing phone books in half in to about half of his sermons for about a month afterwards.
