They're pretty fun. Except for the sexism, homophobia, and various other forms of bigotry. My favorite ones are those in which there's some Satanic conspiracy to steal a soul by tempting them with a good time.

- dark dungeons - independent movie that is a near-faithful yet ironic adaptation of one of the more infamous tracts

Haven't seen one in many years, but used to find them on the car in the 70s and 80s.
-
I literally found one (or something similar? I don't recall exactly) on my doorstep earlier this year. They're very much still a thing.
-
Someone tucked one in every car door handle down the block a few years ago in my apartment complex.
I did my public service and put them all into the trash.

My favorite one is the "My Ancestor" one
I want that shirt, unintentionally goes hard.

Which one? My Ancestor, or Drugs?
-
My ancestor!

Which one? 😂
I like “Drugs ☠️” but “SeX” is a close second.

I remember these stupid things as a kid.
I did just go down a Wikipedia rabbit hole and the history of Tijuana Bibles is pretty interesting!

I found one at a gas station once
-
I've seen that one, and many many others.

I remember there was a movie that showed what was going to happen in the apocalypse. I just remember the disturbing imagery about a guy dying from a motorcycle accident, people rotting in hell, demons whipping people, crazy stuff.
Maybe it was in Spanish?

I've seen them in the wild twice in my life. Once in a packet left on my door. They know I'm Jewish so that was 'fun'. The second time someone (not the people at the office) left an entire stack of random ones at my gyno's office and I took every single fucking one.
I was sad the D&D one wasn't among the stack. We did get an amazing Thanksgiving one though.

There's also at least two Cthulhu mythos ones! These are parodies, not official tracts!

I used to hand these out when I was like 10. cringe
My husband used to hand them out as a kid. He went full atheist but never stopped trying to live Jesus’ love for others.
Oddly often doing the loving Christian thing than proclaimed Christians (works in soup kitchens, helping deliver food to the poor, builds homes for the homeless, helping families get access to childcare and providing first aid at every opportunity).
Ironically, a lot of Atheists are more christlike than most Christians.
How did they get you into it?
We all did dumb stuff we regret when we were kids.
