The image on the right is taken from a Christian ‘tract’ (promotional literature) that was published in 2004.
The publication, titled ‘The Little Bride‘, a little Christian girl, Susy, rescues two of her friends who are about to get “sucked in” to becoming Muslims. Susy heroically wards off an older boy who is about to steer them into the “dangerous” ways of Islam. After she’s got rid of the boy she then tells her two friends that Mohammed was a pedophile and a liar.
The tract was pointed out as an example of close minded Christian propaganda on a forum I read, and I am inclined to agree. I read it in full and just felt annoyed that such an emotive subject would be used to try to sway people, to win them by default if you like. Most reasonable people will find the idea of pedophilia repulsive, but aren’t there more constructive way to get the message across. If someone gave me this thing on the street I think I would throw it right back at them… ‘in love’ of course.

I’m an American AND a Christian and I’m beginning to worry that I’m maybe hanging with the wrong crowd. :(
I don’t wear fur though.

Chick tracts have been around for years and years – we used to see them a lot back in the early 70’s when a lot of people passed out tracts as a tool of evangelism. This is an ugly tract – even the artwork is ugly – and in my opinion it is completely ineffective in conveying any message but that of hate.

This is what I think. People naturally have to be defensively or offensively driven. Since those fanatical Christians are feeling safe with their lifestyles, they go offensive. But really, they’ve perverted the Gospel (that is about LOVE) into a people hating cult.
Ugh, Open_c made me cringe. I promise, they are NOT the typical, God fearing, Christian!
