What? Me Worry?
Jack Chick's stuff isn't parody. He's sincere in what he says.

Didn't John the Baptist have long hair? I bet he was gutted.
St Peter: 'So you spent your entire life evangelising, proclaiming the Word, preaching in the desert, baptising and saving souls, enduring an ascetic existence and being martyred for your faith. BUT WE CAN'T LET YOU INTO HEAVEN BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T GET A HAIRCUT!!!'

Actually, that was one part of that Chick tract which they got right. Pictures of Jesus having long hair didn't start appearing until the 3rd and 4th centuries, all earlier drawings of him showing that he had it the short style that most men in that region wore at the time.Gundark said:
Back to the original subject, that Parody comic is great!

Ask anyone who's churchgoing friends handed them chick strips on the evils of various things (Mostly, but not exclusivly, DnD), and ask them how much of a parody he is.
No, sadly, he really does mean all this.
I'm reminded of a King of the Hill episode... this lady was trying to get halloween cancled (Very much modeled after Chick... some of her arguements were almost directly from his one against halloween)...
Luanne: But Judy Harper says a haunted house is the devil's mousetrap, and fun is the cheese!
Hank: Last I checked, it wasn't Judy Harper's face in the stained glass window at Arlen First Methodist!

With all the reality TV shows popping up, they should make a reality show where John Q. Public gets 30 minutes to debate against someone famous, and see if they can put them in their spot.

Except of course that Chick has become a total recluse, largely due to death threats against him and his family. Chick won't even give interviews anymore. In a way, it's sad. The man is crazy, no doubt about it. His particular brand of "faith" is filled with hatred. But no one deserves to be put in constant fear for his or her life. And certainly no one should have to fear for the lives of their children.
I still think he's crazy and we'd all be better off if someone was routinely giving him big doses of thorazine. But I pity him.
