Don't you know there ain't no devil
That's just God when He's drunk.
-- Tom Waits
I was raised a Born Again Christian. We were not supposed to have comic books unless they were approved by our church and our dumb-ass Christian school. Jack T. Chick's Tracts and comics were allowed. Archie's were, too, and that four issue Dr Who series in the 1980s, for some unknown reason. Chick's purpose in creating The Crusaders series was to get more kids to be his flavor of Christianity, and to keep those shackles on for kids like me who, whenever I asked questions, got punished.
He has Satanists, magic spells, and naked women, although you never get to see any naughty bits. Just the stuff kids of a certain age are interested in. Especially any hint of nudes.
There's a black magic witch who becomes a Christian. She says that she feels unhappy all of the time (or words to that affect.) When she becomes a Christian, she is suddenly flooded with happiness and peace. The colors all go crazy bright around her.
I read this as a kid and thought, "Wait a minute. I accepted Jesus into my heart when I was four, and I'm unhappy all of the time. I must've done it wrong."
So, I did it again ... and felt no change. Did this continually for months. Felt no different.
At the time, I blamed myself for not knowing how to be saved correctly. It took me years to realize that there was no God, just people drunk on power and money.
So, congrats, Chick. Your comic helped set the path for me to leave your damn religion. HA HA!
It also helped spark an interest in magic and witches. The depiction of witches and Satanists in this comic is totally wrong. The comic was feeding into the Satanic Panic bruhaha that started with the serial killer David Berkowitz. He claimed he killed because a group of Satanists and a dog made him do it. There were other people who blamed Satanists for their actions.
One of the "experts" on Satanism that helped with the making of this comic was Mike Warnke. He claimed to have been an ex-High Priest of a secret Satanic cult bent on taking over the world. His book, The Satan-Seller was a bestseller. In 1992, it was discovered that Warnke lied about it all in order to make money.
I became an agnostic, then a witch, and eventually wound up an atheist. Not saying that this comic was solely responsible for that journey, but it nudged me on the path.
I can't help but wonder how many other Christian kids left the faith after reading this.
