      IDK it’s just an image I’ve seen sometimes online, I’m not really too knowledgeable about Chick Tracts (though I know they suck of course).

        I collect them whenever I see them mostly to get them off the street but they can be darkly funny. I found the source of this page and it’s a comic that starts off warning you about the evils of the Pope in Rome & his secret plan to take over American Christianity™ before pivoting to a racist rant about “Allah the moon god”.

        They also cram in a bit about how there’s only one perfect copy of the Bible (just happens to be the English translation they use) and all others are packs of perfidious lies spread by the Devil’s man on earth, the Pope.

          Are they those KJV-only folks, or do they use an even wackier version? It really is comical that some English copy is the only correct version, though. An ancient text written in dead languages/dead dialects of those languages is only correctly read in a language developed ~1500 years later.

            Yea pretty sure they’re KJV people, I’ve always found it hilarious that they’d shun every other translation other than “theirs”, especially since like you said according to them the only “correct” version is written in a language that didn’t even exist when the biblical canon was decided on, let alone when they were all written
