So then it is merely your opinion?
It is not merely my opinion, it is my opinion. It is also a correct opinion. The point of Chick Tracts is to use shock value to instill fear into the reader. Any one who uses fear as a tool to spread their religion is following an evil path. I see Chick Tracts as a moral equivalent to terrorist propaganda.

Warning you about the danger of Hell is trying to instill fear in you? So if I warned you through a track that the bridge is out up the street I am instilling fear in you?
😕

If you made me fear every bridge, then you would be wrong. Chick Tracts go way beyond warning and enters the world of propaganda and hate speech.

FeceMan is a fellow Christian. What does that tell you?
That you will know them by their fruit. For Feceman writes,

I hate all of you.
I on the other hand love all of you (why do you think that I am here?) Besides, God’s Book has more to say on the subject of love and hate and how to recognize those who are of God and those who are not.
Matthew 7:15-20
15 “Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. 16 You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? 17 Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit. 19 Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20 Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
1 John 2:9-11
9 He who says he is in the light, and hates his brother, is in darkness until now. 10 He who loves his brother abides in the light, and there is no cause for stumbling in him. 11 But he who hates his brother is in darkness and walks in darkness, and does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded his eyes.
Matthew 12:33-37
33 “Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or else make the tree bad and its fruit bad; for a tree is known by its fruit. 34 Brood of vipers! How can you, being evil, speak good things? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth good things, and an evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth evil things. 36 But I say to you that for every idle word men may speak, they will give account of it in the day of judgment. 37 For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned.”
1 John 3:13-15
13 Do not marvel, my brethren, if the world hates you. 14 We know that we have passed from death to life, because we love the brethren. He who does not love his brother abides in death. 15 Whoever hates his brother is a murderer, and you know that no murderer has eternal life abiding in him.
As a believer in Jesus Christ I love Feceman, can he say that about me?
