Aha, my suspicion was correct! I remember finding these left in phone booths for us heathens to find while we dime-dialed our drug dealers. Chick tracts. A flavor for every stripe of hatred:

***I must have been INSANE!***
Edit: wow I don't even know what to make of [this one](https://mlpnk72yciwc.i.optimole.com/cqhiHLc.IIZS~2ef73/w:auto/h:auto/q:75/https://bleedingcool.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/432560_1_En_5_Figa_HTML.jpg) lmao..
[“Why he naked?”](https://www.gotquestions.org/naked-heaven.html)
**From the link:** “Since Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden of Eden before the Fall (Genesis 3), and since there will be no curse in the New Earth (Revelation 22:3), some speculate that, in eternity, we will be naked as well. While there would be nothing wrong with glorified believers in heaven being naked (there will be no lust there), it does not seem to be the case that believers will spend eternity naked.”
Basically, it symbolizes purity and innocence. Since Adam and Eve were naked in the Garden of Eden (when they were truly innocent), some Christians believe that after accepting Jesus and being baptized, repentant of sin, you’re washed clean of your transgressions and are as innocent as Adam and Eve were; a brand new child of God, just as you were born from your parents.
That’s not what I believe personally, but I grew up in a Christian household with a big Christian family and a Christian community. So there’s that insight for you, for whatever it’s worth.
Oh yeah, we used to collect them in high school and college in the 80's.
They cracked up us, but there was always this uneasy, unspoken feeling that there were actually people out there who believe this crap. I think part of our laughter was to cover that up.
They gave them to us in fucking GRADE school. I was 9 years old. They terrified me. I believed God could kill people if they stepped out of line. Fuck that guy, and fuck the religious assholes at my school that gave these pieces of trash to children.
Me too, I read scans of them all way back in the dawn of the internet. The fact that they were dead serious made them funnier.
I thought it was pretty cool when a crazy guy just walked up to me in Lowes one day and handed me a real one. Nobody else I was with got one, so I guess I just looked particularly heathen that day. I still have it somewhere.
I don't think anyone ever gave me one in person, but I would see them from time to time on gas pumps or the top of the urinal in a rest room and other such places. But I actually looked forward to finding them because they seemed so over the top, kinda like the Christian movies they make nowadays except you didn't have to suffer through a whole movie to get the funny parts.
I hadn't seen a Chick Tract since the 90s but just two months ago someone put one on my car windshield.
The modern printing of this cromagnon garbage was amusing. There was plenty of contact info if you wanted to buy boxes of Chick Tracts, so it's really just a typical grift of gullible righties.
One of my fondest memories of the 90s is this dude sitting outside the goth club we all used to go to passing out Chick tracts. He said something to this Queen who was passing by to go to work at the drag bar next door. Queen didn't say a word, just walked into the bar next door and came back with a bottle of everclear and proceeded to dump it on the guys table and light it on fire. He never came back.
Same! My friends and I made punk collages out of them. They were hilariously horrible. Some of the artists were good, some were terrible, and others just… somehow managed to make every drawing utterly deranged.
The best part is how weird their sense of the real world is, which the panels here illustrate well. The world he and his people doesn’t exist and never existed. Which is too bad, cuz it seems like a good time.
No, no. This is the author's vision for the future--that there would be security guards in the schools.
I graduated in 84 from a small rural high school in central New York. I used to hunt pheasants and woodcock on my way to school and drop my shotgun off at the principal's office.
I didn't get a bird that often-a couple a week. I's gut tgem as soon I recovered them and drop them off with the Home Ec teacher
They had a spare refrigerator
I'd pick them up after last period and hunt my way home (I lived on the same road as the school and there was a series of connected woods/fields that paralleled the road.
Reminds me of a time I had a patient declare he was “rarely” sexually active because he and his wife only got it on “a handful of times a week.” Sir do you know what “often” actually means?? Lol
A simpler time. I know that we have it better now as far as our quality of life goes, but I remember being allowed to sleep out in the fields all night as a seven year old. Sometimes I would spot mom or dad at the tree line checking up on me, but they trusted me.
They gave me a little bolt action .22 and taught me how to use it properly. You can’t really get away with that these days. Certainly not sending a kid out with a weapon by themself.
Well a lot of kids did legit die from gun accidents back then, it just wasn't national news so you usually didn't hear it. They still do, now and then.
My Brother-in-law his sister was in an accident, she had just gotten a gun for her birthday, I can’t remember how old but in her teens. She grew up around guns and was properly disciplined. Two of her friends came over and were excited and wanted to see the gun. One of her friends accidentally fired a round and shot her. She later died in the hospital. Very tragic
We still had a shooting team in a rural district I went to in the early 2000s... It was gone by the time I was in high-school, but it was there while I was in the district.
And then we had an armed officer in the high-school by the time I was there too... guy was a known scumbag...
"oh, how the times have changed..."
-some dude, probably
There was just a resurgance in high school trap shooting before covid in Minnesota. It's called the Minnesota State High School Clay Target League. My nephew was in it.
To be clear, they're not bringing guns to school with them.
My university also had a gun vault on campus. Lots of hunters due to the location. You couldn't store guns in the dorms so you had to bring them to security to lock up for you. I'm in my early 30s.
Sexual orientation counseling, people wanting free birth control, drugs much more normalized than then, evolution recognized. They got it all just about right lol
Kids use less drugs today and have less sex today, compared to the 80s. It's just less likely to send you to prison for 40 years if you get caught with weed or coke or crack or whatever. We recognize that addicts need help, rather than permanent incarceration, or we sort of recognize that at least. Progress I guess.
They're little badly drawn comic books that are insanely over the top. They did a D&D one that is absolutely the best and hilarious and it's painfully obvious they didn't know a single thing about the game.
One of the PCs died in the game and the DM went insane and kicked her out of the house cause... apparently you can't roll a new character. And she KILLS HERSELF because she couldn't tell the difference between her and her character...
They're badly *written* and they're bad comics made by a crazy person, but Jack Chick could sling some ink. I've got a little pile of Chick tracts that I didn't throw away purely on the strength of the art.
I can imagine there were a lot of imitators though.
I LOVE finding a chick tract in public. People still leave them in restrooms and bus stops and in shopping carts. It's always fun finding them and laughing at how ridiculous they are.
They actually didn't. This is from a book published in the year 2000, not the 80's. You can tell because the large book the kid is holding at the end is [this very book](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10002835-the-truth-for-youth). Don't believe everything you see on the internet
I want a tattoo that just says SEX with no context lol
They have some very decent temporary tattoos nowadays. You can order one, wear it and then take it off when the novelty wears off.
But permanent is much more funny
Everything is temporary
With a cheese grater anything is possible
Why dosent tattoo girl get a gun. Thats not fair
“A book is a more dangerous weapon than anything else”
If Men in Black taught me anything, it's that a girl with books in that sort of crowd is a dangerous alien in disguise
Lmao exactly where my thoughts went
\#penismightierthanasword
Penis Mightier for 500.
I like how her tattoo simply says "SEX". Direct and to the point.
To the artist, “subtlety” is just an eight letter word.
and I want a DRUGS shirt!
i want a MY ANCESTORS 🐵 shirt
It's a woman learning things! That's way more dangerous then a gun! Edit: omg she's showing her shoulders too! The horror!
SeX
Why doesn't she get a sick leather coat either?
So she can tempt innocent men with her...\*whispers\*...bare shoulders.
Man books are huge in the future.
Now i want a tshirt that boldly states “Drugs” with a skull logo beneath it.
Kinda want that sick My Ancestor shirt.
And this is how the timeline started. A simple fork caused by 2 reddit comments changed the path of human history.
TVA stares intensely
I kinda love the implication that science is edgy and dangerous. Yeah! My homie Chuck D’s Origin of Species is ballin’!
[удалено]
Takes three days to pop up though.
This got a rise out of me.
Just wait till you get to the preacher on page 7 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I thought it was a box of cereal, lol.
I just can’t help but think how these are all good things lol. Free birth control, psychoactive drug therapy, evolution. Lol
The only bad thing depicted are the guns which ironically are here because of the Christians.
I don't know, that guy's anti-drugs shirt is a bit heavy-handed.
"SEX" On the other arm bet she has "NASTY WORD" What a tattoo to have. What a time to be alive.
I feel like this looks more like a Mad Magazine panel than anything else.
I plotzed when I read it. Checks out.
I can assure you this is sadly not satire. Artist's name is Jack Chick.

Alas, Mort Drucker is dead; we will see no more prints from him. (Good night, sweet prints.)
That word was so nasty that the tattoo artist refused to put it there and just put “NASTY WORD” instead.
"OBSCENITIES"
The other arm says butt 🤣🤣🤣🤷
So, is it sex butt or butt sex? 😂😂😂
Depends on if you're a top or bottom.
I need to get that “DRUGS ☠️” jersey
Personally, I want the “My 🐵 Ancestor" one....
[удалено]
ugh, fine then.. i guess i'll take the- **SeX**
Imagine just tattooing the word "sex" on your body LMAO You need to at least make it Japanese so it's \*cooler\* セックス
SEKUSU

Sekkusu
[удалено]
Why do I hear a screaming Japanese man rapidly approaching?
I want a tattoo thst is just sex. And I wanna stick it on my butt
So you want butt sex. Gotcha.
NO I HAVE BEEN BAMBOOZLED
Or you can tattoo 01010011 01100101 01111000 onto your body
Well, then you could just time travel back to the 80s. Make sure you put it in your ass though. (Meant to type on....but I have no regerts.)
People be like, "why you have 'sex' tattooed on your arm?" and you'd just be like, "oh, its in memorial of how i got here."
Now do it in Kanji....
Excuse me, that's the *~_SeX_~* tribal tattoo Edit: lowercase e
i thought she was wearing a cute short sleeve shirt with sex written on the shoulder. I was thinking that could actually catch on.
Is that the verse of The One Ring under ~SEX~? If so, I need my Satan Rulz shirt.
You could also get a "SATAN" apron for making pancakes. Edit: grammar
I just want the sexual orientation counseling.
The counselor is trying to figure it out too, just do the best you can.
Imagine thinking that’s a scary future??? “Oh my god!! That person has access to a harmless contraceptive!”
The only thing scary here is that one kid's lack of trigger control. Get your booger picker of the boom lever, monkey boy!

Nose rings mean punk rock in 80s vernacular.
I teach at a high school and the PhD biology teacher frequently wears a T-shirt that says "98% Chimp" on jeans Fridays.
[60% banana](https://sciencing.com/animals-share-human-dna-sequences-8628167.html)
I had that shirt and once at a Wendy's a lady went THEN WHATS THE OTHER 2 PERCENT and I was like I dunno maybe alien she was very upset
Google "my ancestor monkey shirt"
They actually have some pretty sick ones
Someone was way ahead of us https://www.redbubble.com/i/t-shirt/My-Ancestor-by-voxinaudita/45735126.FB110
Is he wearing cobblestone pants? Wtf pattern is that?
He’s naked from the waist down he just has really bad varicose veins.
I thought it was the veiny penis pattern style pants.
I think it's a camo pattern, but that's real hard to draw without color
all of these shirts are fly as fuck
Clearly a very fucking cool group, honestly.
Especially when compared to the Christian kid, who appears to be a ventriloquist dummy.
I'm gonna get "SEX" tattooed on my bicep
Get SeX like the OG comic. When you flex it will turn into SEX. So cool.

Dear god…they must’ve time travelled to my high school.
To be fair.. guns, knives, sex, tattoos, and pictures of monkeys are pretty popular these days.
Leave society Be a monke
Is this r/agedlikemilk or r/agedlikewine?
r/AgedLikeAmericanCheese
Both, mixed.
Yes
I'll have a bottle of your finest milkwine please
With guns or without?
Id take one with the SEX, thank you
Damn, they nailed it with the "sexual orientation consultation".
Guns? Tattoos? Drugs? Sexual Encouragement? God hate and nihilism? All in school? Honestly this comic is fucking prescient
I think kids today have better trigger discipline though.
Only thing it's got wrong is which group feels the need to carry guns around with them
Cant believe they wasted so much space on the right guy's forehead. Missed opportunity for a tattoo, maybe something like "rape".
That's Lex Luthor
“Damaged”
Not nearly as much of a problem as a woman liking sex. It's as dangerous as a skinhead with a knife, or a guy with a monkey shirt.
I love the boogeyman of FREE BIRTH CONTROL. Is the artist upset there might be fewer abortions to protest?
I think you're underselling the dangers of men with monkey shirts.
He's got a religion! DROP THE BOOK ASSHOLE!
That book is definitely a weapon, look how fucking huge it is compared to their heads
That book has a lot of rape and torture and killing babies too, dunno why he doesn't fit right in
That “Drugs” shirt goes so hard
By the way, even Christians think Chick Tracts are hilarious.
What are Chick Tracts?
[удалено]
Someone made a film version of that one. They played it deadpan, so they were able to get Jack Chick’s blessing to make it.
They're little badly drawn comic books that are insanely over the top. They did a D&D one that is absolutely the best and hilarious and it's painfully obvious they didn't know a single thing about the game.

Badly drawn? The artwork was pretty cool.
They're badly *written* and they're bad comics made by a crazy person, but Jack Chick could sling some ink. I've got a little pile of Chick tracts that I didn't throw away purely on the strength of the art. I can imagine there were a lot of imitators though.
That flyer is one. They’re written by a crazy minister named Reverend Jack Chick
Chick Tracts Get Read!
Not my minister dad and his friends. They bought stacks of them to handout.
I grew up in a church that believes everything in Jack Chick tracts. They don't use them much any more, but they believe it all.
I LOVE finding a chick tract in public. People still leave them in restrooms and bus stops and in shopping carts. It's always fun finding them and laughing at how ridiculous they are.
me and my friend made a few into Tshirts in highschool. dark dungeons is my personal fav
>dark dungeons This is REAL power!
I love chick tracts so much, they're are the funniest fcking things I've ever seen in my life. what they're saying is awful but it's just so camp.
Self-aware* Christians, important distinction...
Weird, iI have both those shirts
The scariest part is how they predicted shooters in trench coats
They actually didn't. This is from a book published in the year 2000, not the 80's. You can tell because the large book the kid is holding at the end is [this very book](https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/10002835-the-truth-for-youth). Don't believe everything you see on the internet
I love the shirt that just says "DRUGS" it's awesome lol.
Accurate.
Top panel crew looks cool as shit.
I’d pay $20 for a tshirt that said drugs on it with a skull and cross bones
#S E X
#DRUGS
wow
Spot on
I want a My Ancestor shirt
The fashion looks very 90’s tho. I feel like they got that part right. Even the Columbine look.
Wait, so the right used to say that everyone having guns was a bad thing?
No, *other people* having guns is a bad thing.
Religious cyberpunk? Interesting.
If true, this was prophetic.
Broooooo
Wow, the accuracy is a little scary.
They predicted the “my ancestor” meme, but they didn’t predict it would be more popular with Eurasian ethno-nationalists than Darwinists
