It's "meh" at best. Boring and lacking in originality. Or, for that matter, style.

I was bored, ok?

I thought I did good by adding in the Angelic name of Satan into it, kinda thought that was neat....ok fine, its not the best, but I don't have the time to go get all the looks into it. If I did, then it would be on an old scroll looking paper and such, but I don't....so yeah

I'll be honest, it is a decent concept. It probably can be made better or built upon (even though I disagree with the message...)

its just parody. Those that think its funny will think its funny. Those that think its dumb will think its dumb. I doubt it would ever be used to bring people away or towards christianity though, since its obviously parody. The plus side, I could become a name known in churches all over the world, no longer do I have to strive to play a game of chess with the Pope and yell that he cheated.

If you're going to do something like this, do something that puts the b in subtle, don't club people over the head with it.

Seriously, it's people that do the whole "Hurr hurr, christianity is crazy insanity" thing that gives the rest of us skeptics bad names.

Eh, its the hurr hurr that causes everybody to look bad. Its the concept of it that I was going for. Maybe I'll do it in latin next, and then drift it around some college campuses.

I got the idea from bbc though....red dwarf I think it was.

Recalling from memory, the show Red Dwarf did something similar...

News Woman reads "Today theologians were astounded when archeologist discovered parchment predating the bibilcal old testiment; which read 'A fiction novel dedicated to my daughters (name) and (name). Happy birthday!' (Etc...)"

I wish I could remember all of it and fill in the blanks.

Wasn't it the first page that they found something like a disclaimer, Can't remember the quote but I'm sure its series 2 - Better than life

Meh ... making fun of Christians is like shooting fish in a barrel ... well ... more like looking at fish in a barrel ... actually, more like being in the same room as a barrel.

Something like: To my darling Candy, any characters within this book...

Goes onto disclaimer stuff that someone above me already mentioned.
