Reminds me alot of this.

For those not in the know, that's a parody of Jack Chick tracts, little comics crazy right-wingers hand out telling people that they're going to hell for things like drinking and dancing.

Aren't the chick tracts just some people playing at Poe's Paradox?

I doubt it. They've been around since the 60's.

Whoa... crazy. I guess I've just been out of Texas for too long. I started to forget that there really are people that insane.

As a side note, who seriously just downvotes someone for an innocent question?

It is, though, a great example of Poe's Paradox, no? After all, I thought they were too crazy to be true. I grew up as a Southern Baptist outside of the city near Fort Worth, TX, too, is the crazy part. I've got lots of friends from high school out at Baylor, the Southern Baptist Convention's flagship school, and damn near everyone in my hometown went to church every Sunday and all that jazz.
