Why would somebody want to follow evangelists like Billy Graham around the country just for the altar calls?
Q. I read that there were some people who follow traveling evangelists around just to participate in the altar calls. Giving their hearts to the lord, over and over. Why?

A. It's sort of an addiction. You get wrapped up in the emotional exploitation, get a cathartic high from it, and need to feel it again and again.

How the Hell are Evangelists supposed to take care of kids when they keep getting sent to jail?
Q. These people are the leaders of their religion, and apparently know how to look out for kids. So how are they supposed to fulfill their God given duties when they are locked behind bars because of child issues? Damn them for loving kids too much.

What's the difference between Goebbels and the Evangelists?
Q. Apparently Joseph the master carpenter and stepfather to some bastard took his full term wife on a ride around the Judean hills on a 5 day donkey trek from Nazareth to Bethlehem in mid-winter. I've been there at that time of year and I can tell you no loving father/husband would contemplate any such action. The bigger the lie, the longer and harder you have to tell it.

A. The need to belong may be instinctual. Desperation to do so may be found in weak individuals...who seek faith, which they may see as a form of club...therefore it is a saleable commodity...hence the massive number of evangelists, in many countries, who seem to wish to use these weaknesses for financial gain...dispicable.

Looking for title of a humorous book about how to win arguments with door-to-door evangelists.?
Q. I saw a book on either Amazon or Borders a couple of weeks ago. It was a work of humor along the lines of Dave Barry's humor (but it wasn't by him). I can't remember the author. The book was about "how to win arguments with door-to-door evangelists." Or maybe it was "preachers" instead of "evangelists." I didn't write the title down because I thought it would be easy to find again--I was wrong. Would appreciate hearing from anyone who knows what the title is; I want it for a holiday gift.
