    So quick update: my friend who was homeschooled in a religious household but is now atheist thinks it is not satire. My take is that if this is satire, it’s going over a lot of people’s heads.

      i cant believe some people think this is satire i mean come on its a real ministry with a clear message of love and salvation through jesus christ its not some kind of joke or parody its a genuine attempt to spread the word of god and bring people to christ

      i mean look at the content like habus corner where it says wouldnt you rather have just one god who loves you a bunch than a bunch of gods that dont love you at all thats just so profound and insightful

      and the maze training where you help lambuel get to the church on time while avoiding temptations thats just so practical and wise i mean who wouldnt want to avoid money and ice cream and slutty lips and a cozy bed

      i mean what kind of person would create a fake ministry just to mock good christians and make fun of their faith

        And for all He’s done for us, all Jesus wants is for us to love Him back! He wants us to love Him soooo much that any other love would be like hate: "If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple." I love Jesus more than ANYTHING… how 'bout YOU?

        Cmon really? How is it not evident that this is satire?

        Ps: it wasn’t very clear, but just adding to previous fellow’s points.

        I think there is worse in churches with actual believers.

      Well, there’s this…

      …but honestly, I could see somebody sufficiently naive not recognizing that for what it is.

      This one, however, is a bit less covert:

      And then you recall reading this in the intro on the first page, and a pattern starts to develop:

      My OBJECTIVE is JUST 4 KIDZ! The “Z” is for “ZEALOUSNESS,” 'cause Jesus wants us to be hot for Him, not lukewarm.
