I haven't been posting lately because I've been playing "Mario and Luigi: Partners in Time," "Prince of Persia: The Two Thrones," and "Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow," reading GPF and Sluggy Freelance, posting on Sissyfight(most recently, the second post about faithfreedom.org

Wait, wait, wait. So Jack Chick seriously believes, after all this time, that there's Americans who really don't know who Jesus is/was/was supposed to be?

It's not just bad writing, it's insulting.

Actually, most of the time, the characters express the "Jesus was just a man" attitude*; even Reverend Ray in "Sin City." The mention of who Jesus was is primarily used to convince people to convert, and to dispel the aforementioned attitudes; nearly every tract has a mention of Jesus's dying for our sins(however, it can also be used to compare Christianity to other religions, such as with the claim that Mohammed didn't rise from the grave).

*In this tract, technically, the soldier knows who Jesus was(but is wrong that Jesus himself "wrote the bible" for a number of reasons, given that the Old Testament may have had multiple authors, there were multiple authors of the Gospels, and Paul wrote much of the later Bible, which, unfortunately, leads to contradictions**).

**This is further off topic, but I don't quite believe the Christian's excuse in "Somebody Goofed" that those who see contradictions in the Bible don't fully understand it.
