The Pathetic Code®

Dear Fountain-In-The-City,
Thank you so much for dropping this marvellous leaflet in my letterbox. Yes, please I really want to have true happiness. I wish to be no longer like the sad childless woman in left of frame, gazing gloomily from within a haze of ominous Hebrew text into a cold grey light. I want instead to be like the happy happy woman pointing at something happy off in the distance. And if I could have a baby that would be even better.
I can tell in my heart of hearts, my new friends at Fountain-In-The-City, that with your grasp of vaguely Medieval fonts and promise of FREE Study Guides + Bible, you plainly have the Key to the Amazing Code that will make me feel Safe. I know that more cynical observers will say that you’re trading on the popular success of The Da Vinci Code but that is just a coincidence, right? (your astonishing graphic design talents alone mark you as original thinkers!).
So, Fountain-In-The-City, please send me your study guides so that I may become happy and fruitful with child, and also that I may understand what the fuck a Red Chinese Dragon has to do with anything,
Yours Sincerely,
Hayley Suggestibull.

[…] Sally sent me this today, and I am forced to make the assumption that Sally is in cahoots with Fountain In The City on account of the strikingly similar accomplishments in the field of graphic arts displayed in The Secret Key and The Prophetic Code (of which you will recall I have spoken previously).

The woman on the left is blocking her ears – so loud the happiness, too much the smiling. (So very very plump the baby)
A little false happiness goes a long way.
Someone should make a flyer called The Sinner’s Code. You would have some guy out in the hot sun mowing a lawn with a gleaming debt-utility vehicle looming behind him. The on the other side, you see all the people sitting in the bar, well-lit and laughing, making out with interesting but immoral women, etc.
When it comes t findin true happiness, Id soonr trust Sex-In-the-Fountain-In-the-City.
They say the bible is full of coded messages….so maybe they are on to something?!?!
Uh-oh… (that’s me doing my unrecognizable Rain Man impression)
Please look deeper then just the graphic design ablities of whoever made this flyer. Thats not the point of what this is. This study guide is a Biblically based in-depth study. I have personally looked into these Bible study guides and they are good! They are based on the Bible and i have friends that go to fountain in the city church. There great people, Christians that want to spread the good news!
I would encourage you to check em out for yourself, they have really helped my life and Christian faith.
Eric: Oh it’s The Bible! I am surprised. I thought it was some kind of Code – isn’t that what it says in the flyer?
Maybe the Bible is in code? That would explain a lot about why it makes so little sense.
To save myself from repetition on this tedious subject, read my post Spirit in the Sky and the comments that follow for my views on Christianity. If you can raise any sensible dialogue after having done so, I welcome it. If you are just going to spout rhetoric then don’t even bother replying.
