Are you sure? Do you really think this is true or is this fiction?
This is important stuff unless it is fantasy../..

I was handed this flyer in the parking lot of the local Wal-Mart.
I guess it's geared towards children, but it struck me as funny.
Here are some excerpts:
"THE REASON _WHY_ WE NEED TO COME TO JESUS, is sthat we have all done
wrong & been naughty, so we deserve a _spanking_, a punishment, which
makes our Heavenly Father, God, very sad. But God's Son, _Jesus_, our
_Big Brother_, _loved_ us & the Father so much, that He knew that the
spanking would _hurt_ us both, so _He_ offered to take it _for_ us!
...YOU CAN RECEIVE JESUS' LOVE & FORGIVENESS RIGHT _NOW_ BY PRAYING
THIS LITTLE PRAYER: 'Dear Jesus, please forgive me for being bad &
deserving a big spanking! Thank You so much for taking my punishment
for me..."
Hmmm... What new revision of the Bible was it where Pilate only gave
Jesus a bad spanking?

My friend Jennifer and I have built a shrine and started a pagan religion
to honor MAD. We dress only in burnt umber, shave our eyebrows and dye our
fingernails and toenails robin's egg blue. So far we have 50,000 followers,
including most of Cherry Hill H.S. West. Ourhistory teacher is quite taken
with our new religion, so it must be okay. Donations are accepted.
