"If you find an Atheist in your neighborhood,  
TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY!

You may be moved to try and witness to  
these poor lost souls yourself, however  
AVOID TALKING TO THEM!

Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children or they may even try to trick you into neglecting God’s Word.

Very advanced witnessing techniques are needed for these grouches. Let the adults handle them."

I was mailing a quote from a Christian Kids’ page that infuriated me to a friend. Here’s a link to the page. Yeah, it’s pretty awful.

Fortunately, no, this Moe isn’t **Eats Crayon** ’s cow-orker.

And, **BNB** sorry for the confusion. No, I’m not married. My wife passed away in 1998. To further complicate matters, see, I’m largely gay. I came out of the closet after my wife’s death. So, while Moe and I could certainly have good times, I fear I’m certainly not relationship material for her.

**Lord Ashtar,** I think your advice is best. Block her and walk away. Thanks.

Well, when I linked to an advice column on dyeing pubic hair, my list of expected responses doesn’t have “I love you” on it.
