One might think

Published January 16th, 2008 by Bobby Henderson

One might think I would be offended by your site due to my own Christian beliefs. However, I am not offended in the least on any religious point. Rather, I am offended by the fact that anyone would link your mediocre parody to the esteemed satire of Jonathan Swift. Perhaps it was an ironic comparison – Scientific American’s own feeble attempt at parody and satire. In any case, I feel better knowing, with full confidence, that a man such as yourself, with a mind such as yours, from which spawned the FSM religion, would never buy into his own press. And you’ve really made it now that your religious tract has made it all the way to Overstock.com. Congratulations!

    @ M. Z. Williamson

    I agree that both the bible and the Gospel have success in exagerating (or simply representing) typical religions.

    Just checked overstock.com & surely enough, it’s there, with a whopping 10% off the retail price. There’s also a crapload of Bibles there too, with an average of 30% off. But I don’t think I’ll stoop to your level of cheap shots.

    Edit: Why on earth do we have moderation?
