Re: [HOE] Father Ramos site

["Jeff Shoffner" <shoffner@esper.com>]

Well, after checking out the Chick site (hadn't actually seen the tracts
until yesterday), I think they should've parodied the tract that Chick has
online instead.  You know, have little Debbie see the light, & the pastor
making some reference of "Well, you must now pay for your sins.  Please make
the check out to blah, blah, Church of God." or some such.

You know, thinking back to the Chick Tract, I thought it was kind of funny
that ::NO:: gamer I've ever seen looked like the ones they had drawn up in
the cartoon....  That & the "I cast Mind Bondage on my dad & made him buy
$200 for D&D books...."  Yeah, right.  If any gamer could actually do such a
thing, they'd be turning the current teen hottie into their love slave.....
Hmmmmm, he has a thing set up where you can buy a packet of those cartoon
strips... I wonder if I should buy some to distribute to friends???  Maybe
like a Christmas card or something.....
