Attack of the Theocrats!
Ugh, what terrifying drivel. I've seen these things littering the subway station on occasion. And I live in the enlightened Northeast! I've often thought about printing off a rebuttal cartoon lampooning someone who found one of these tracts and took it seriously. Like showing how they ruined part of their life because of it. I nearly blew my college education because of BS peddlers like the campus crusade for christ.
I couldn't read the whole thing; it was causing a physical reaction (stomach turning).
Two things caught my eye though:
1. He felt the need to define the word 'relative' in a footnote. (A comic with footnotes!) Says something about the intended audience.
2. Upon hearing the Adam and Eve story, the boy asks the girl 'Where did you get such a ridiculous story?' She answers, 'From God.' So, if her parents brought her to the church of the FSM and filled her with that, would she respond 'from the FSM'?
