A quick primer on Christianity

I found this floating around the internets. I offer it up with no commentary.

It all makes so much sense now!

Ed Wood was actually a modern day evangelist (as in gospel-writer) who just misunderstood his divine inspiration a little!

Great definition though, kept me laughing for ages.

Actually what it all means is that JLam was floating around the multiple universe using the internets of each as his path when he found this message on the road and, according to the rule of karma, killed it and brought it here to enlighten us.

Kind -- A property posessed of a creature that will torture the vast majority of people who ever lived, for ever and ever. The Devil should not be believed because he is not Kind enough. See also Good, Loving, Merciful.
