Oh, damn. I should've used the search. @Midnight is usually pretty current so I thought it was some new info. Sorry, errbody.
No! Don't be sorry! I was thinking about starting a thread about it too. It's bizarre!

A friend of my grandma used to say I shouldn't be playing pokemon because it teaches satanic stuff. I told her my pokemons could beat Jesus

Just wait until the little ones ask her to read them some Henry Miller.

From a literary standpoint, this woman is doing a disservice to the books: her version is highly condensed, reducing whole chapters to a few hundred words apiece, and simplifying characters that she's already warped out of all recognition into base shades of their former selves, little more than proselytizing tools bearing profitable names. And she doesn't seem to have read the original books before declaring herself fit to rewrite them, either.
In terms of the actual content... I'm still not super sure this isn't a Poe. The constant thread of easy atheist bashing, the incredibly simple evangelism to the main character in the first chapter, they all make me think of a cheap christian trollfic. Maybe this is just me hoping that a legitimate person wouldn't have such a simplistic outlook, but then... who knows? It's not like I have much experience with American christians or anything.

You know what I'd like to see? A Jesus movie where he's an actual wisecracking badass superhero who shoots with machine guns and lightning, making quips about turning the other cheek while mowing down buildings.
I'm the son of God. Who's your daddy now? *Booom*
Now turn the other cheeck, sucker *Kablaaam*
Hey you! Look at the birds in the air!
*looks up* *bang*
So much fun...

I love it when he speaks about children shooting each other with .45s because of Pokèmon and other RPGs. Just... what would he say about the 2nd Amendment?
"Every luxury has a deep price. Every indulgence, a cosmic cost. Each fiber of pleasure you experience causes equivalent pain somewhere else. This is the first law of emodynamics [sic]. Joy can be neither created nor destroyed. The balance of happiness is constant.
Fact: Every time you eat a bite of cake, someone gets horsewhipped.
Facter: Every time two people kiss, an orphanage collapses.
Factest: Every time a baby is born, an innocent animal is severely mocked for its physical appearance. Don't be a pleasure hog. Your every smile is a dagger. Happiness is murder.
Vote "yes" on Proposition 1321. Think of some kids. Some kids."

It's not a Poe, sadly. This is actually how they think. Remember God's Not Dead. That was a sincere film and it had the same feel as this crap.
