Good riddance.
Sounds more like the content of your posts to me.

I know atheists hated him so much that they took time to create disgusting fake mockery Chick tracts. Really, don't they have better things to do with their time than to bash Christians?

Never heard of him , shows that he was a critic of Catholic church , which can be dangerous to people who cannot stop hate through forgiveness ...... See Jesus said ` the accuser of the brethren is caste down ` which some people who side with antichrist may not see , or people who have no answer to prayer may pass understanding that Jesus said to forgive when you pray so Father God will for give you so prayers can be heard ...... So If Jesus gives this man a pass into Heaven you will be sure to know that the rewards for unity may be short for this man , as Jesus is our Judge ....

Chick bashed Catholics. Chick bashed Jews. Chick bashed Mormons. (Two of those groups are Christians. Which made Chick a Christian-basher.) He was a far-right religious extremist who promoted evil conspiracy theories about the faiths of millions of people.

Apparently Chick couldn't find better things to do with his time since he published tracts that bashed the people and religions he didn't like.

Jack Chick? He was considered extreme by my conservative Protestant sect (the Missouri Synod Lutherans). And they are pretty far-right.

File that under "didn't know they were still alive".

Probably like a lot of kids, my first intro to Chick tracts was on Halloween - there'd always be at least one house in the neighborhood where they were handed out in lieu of candy. Later on when I managed record stores, we'd always find Chick tracts stuck in the heavy metal section.

The website weirdcrap.com has an amusing parody of Chick tracts.

The irony is that the venom and pure bile mocking hatred that atheists have shown for Jack who never did anything wrong to them only proves that he was on the right side of truth and righteousness.
Yea...I forgot...If you can annoy someone So much that they stand up to you it means you're on the right side...Go figure...

He's dead. He doesn't care. Nor does he know. "Respect for the dead" is a silly concept.
