Via the delightful Bean<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Mr. Gruff the Atheist<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m not sure whether to read this as real propaganda, parody, or clever fake propaganda.<\/p>\n

Also, I’ve given up coffee, but that cup looks pretty good.<\/p>\n

OK, the image seems to be from Objective 4 Kidz<\/a>, home of Lambuel who is apparently hearted by Jesus. Can you help Lambuel through a maze so that he can reach church while avoiding temptation along the way?<\/p>\n

My OBJECTIVE is JUST 4 KIDZ! The “Z” is for “ZEALOUSNESS,” ’cause Jesus wants us to be hot for Him, not lukewarm. I read in the Bible that He said: “As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: be zealous therefore, and repent”… Let’s do that!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Based on the front page, I would tentatively guess the site was real — but then there’s a page called draw Lambuel<\/a> featuring a smirking, loincloth-clad Jesus:<\/p>\n

Happy Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n

A drawing of vegetarian dinosaurs worthy of Scalzi<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Vegetarian T-Rex<\/a><\/p>\n

Jesus as superhero, burning atheists with fire that shoots out of his palm:<\/p>\n

Superhero Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n

And finally, Jesus as pedophile:<\/p>\n

Touching Jesus<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m going with my original theory — Mr. Gruff is clever fake propaganda created by atheists with the hope that people will read it, believe it, and stop trying to convert us.<\/p>\n

(IMO, the funniest thing here is the video of Scalzi’s. Hop on over and check it out if you’re frustrated by creationist imagery of vegetarian dinosaurs rampaging through Eden.)<\/p>\n

—<\/p>\n

UPDATE, because I realized I hadn’t said this expressly: For the record, I really dislike the images that suggest Jesus is a pedophile. They’re problematic and not funny.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
