This thread might be inappropriately titled. However.

I live across the road from a church, recently bought (for £6 million) by an evangelical Christian church group. You know the sort.

They're making their presence felt, leaflets delivered all the time, and forever knocking at my door asking if I would like to accept Jesus into my life.

Their most recent innovation is producing miniature newspapers, entitled "City News", entirely filled with ridiculous propaganda.

"After noticing a neighbour's terrible body swelling disappear, my mum enquired how she managed it and was told about the strong prayers at the UCKG HelpCentre."

"My spouts of depression turned me into a very pessimistic person. I couldn't concentrate at work; I wasn't eating properly and was trying to curb my insomnia by drinking myself to sleep. I attempted suicide three time. I turned to UCKG after all my efforts had failed. I needed hope and strength to keep on. I got this through the prayer and advice sessions. Now I've got a good job, I sleep well and feel like a new person. I have made a new beginning and have a positive outlook for the future."

And a small piece entitled "Left at the altar - four times!"; "I just felt so empty. This was why I came to the UCKG HelpCentre. I had an emptiness, which desperately needed to be filled."

I utterly resent how this targets the weak and vulnerable in an underhand way, disguised as a newspaper.

So my question is: How would you retaliate against this?

Edit: And what are your opinions on this whole style of Christianity? (Because I realise this just sounded like some lame "REVENGE!1!" thread. I don't necessarily want "revenge").

I don't know if this is the best forum but..

Make your own ridiculous propaganda with the same title

Make even more ridiculous claims that will have people think that the church is even fuller of nut jobs then before

Claims like

Atheist killed 800 million people last year for believing in God.

All other Christians sects that are not yours are going to hell

Muslims eat babies because they don't have bibles to read

Evolution lead to the holocaust

Deny the Holocaust

Claim that the Jews deserved the holocaust because there less evolved species

Demand that the Sun goes around the Earth citing some of the tings talked about in this tread http: //www.tots e.com/bbs/ Forum15/HTML/005550.html (http: //www.tots e.com/bbs/ Forum15/HT ML/005550. html)

Dinosaurs lived with Adam and Eve and were on Noah's arc

Demand that homosexuals should be killed

Make a false testimony where some one claims that reading the bible cured there blindness

The list could go on

Edit: spelling was really bad
