A day with God Hates Dinosaurs
#Monsterdon I'm sorry we were collectively traumatised by any reminders that #ChickTracts were a thing.
Please accept this Cthulhu version of those vile tracts as a form of therapy:

Growing up as a child, my grandma had these "wonderful" books laying around called Chick Tracts. Many years later aft making my own DIY tribute to one of my heart warming inspirations on sale now all hand made with care. Hope you find it entertaining and insightful

The tract ends how Chick tracts always end. The pro-gay character (despite being previously identified as a reverend and a Bible scholar) is told the story of Jesus, and acts as if he's never heard it before. He repents and is saved, hallelujah, and don't you want to do the same, you sinner?
Nothing further is said about the fate of the hospitalized, bandaged Black preacher who was beaten up by the cops. This is on-brand for Chick comics: women and POC are only used as props until a heroic white evangelist comes in and saves the day.
By the way, if you were wondering how Chick rebuts this... he doesn't. His self-insert character basically just says, "Nuh-uh! God hates gayness!" and rebukes the demon in the name of Jesus, causing it to flee and the pro-gay character to suddenly go weak in the knees.
Do Christian fundamentalists ever try this on actual nonbelievers? Or are they sufficiently skilled at doublethink to not attempt it in the real world because they know it doesn't work?
