okay, i know these are fundamentalist comics and they say that
occultists are going to hell and all that
but you folks gotta read these comics. They are all free and complete,
about 90 of them.
I probably wouldn't want to go to the same heaven as these people. Yet
it is just as complete a vision of the universe as anything Swedenborg
has done or any of the theosophists. Who is to say whose vision is
better or worse? I don't agree with much of what they say, yet it is
visionary nonetheless. Probably the best thing about it is that they
are very short comic books. Little commercials of xtian visions. Beats
having to contemplate and read 1000s of pages of vedas or something
cumbersome like that. Sure wish the hindus would make comic books. That
would make for some really cool little stories. Probably the only thing
i can think of that is even close to the chick.com comics are Blake's
paintings.

These are classic Jack Chick work. This guy has been around for about forty
years.
Everybody is going to hell except Jack and his fellow believers and you'll
get no sympathy from them. So you'd better be a good Christian all the time
or else.

They're funny as Hell.
Got some back in the 80's, as they were passed around the office.
About a year and a half ago, a truck driver gave me another, after
asking if I liked comics. It was the one with the two gunfighters.
One is a complete rat bastard, but because he repents on his death
bed, he goes to heaven. The other is a good man, but because he
doesn't accept Jesus, he burns in hell.

I've come to believe that we create our own heaven or hell, here on
Earth.
If there is a continuation of existence post-life, then a lot depends
on how much we carry forward. If your life was a hell, and you are
denied the ability to change what happened, I can only guess that your
afterlife will be the same hell.
If after dying, we are only 'hungry ghosts', waiting for another warm
body to inhabit, then the only heaven and hell are again, right here.
The ones we create for ourselves.
