Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won’t mistake for the real thing.

But there is another one, named for Edgar Allan’s distant cousin, modern fundamentalist Harry Lee Poe:

“Elements of the Gospel speak to different levels of spiritual concern in different cultures at different times.”

I suspect that fundamentalists needed a Poe’s Law of their own.

They used to sell indulgences that were effectively the same thing, but not done as satire. I suppose those were actually “get out of purgatory” cards.

Just an observation: if they’re selling the cards, it’s not really a way to get out of hell FREE, is it?

I.E: If you believe in hell, then this card won’t help.

Oh, and I could ask Elvis if the guy in Nashville who changed his name to Elvis Presley Jr really is who he thinks he is.

Several years ago, a “Fundy” who happened to notice one of the symptoms of a rare neural-related genetic oddity that I possess, decided that I am a mutant and in his narrow world view, that made me a “soul-less abomination with no chance a entering the kingdom of heaven”. Idiots like that don’t bother with me because they don’t think it worthwhile.

But, as one of the resident theists on this blog, I’m somewhat offended that others (some say immoral nihilitsts!) may dipense these cards!
