    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.

        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.

      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.
