You gotta give Trisha Ramos credit. She one bad tract-distributing lady. If there were an ancient ninja clan dedicated to distributing evangelical tracts, Trisha would be their secret leader lurking in the back of the cave. She friends with Ray Comfort (surprise!) and she runs a blog called Fish with Trish where she displays some of her more interesting techniques, such as using your dog to carry spare tracts.

Here’s one that PersonalFailure posted in which Trisha is at a Taco Bell/KFC drive-through. In addition to being incredibly rude – hey, would it kill you to put down the cell phone while carrying on a transaction – Trisha passes off tracts to her server and the car behind her. PF vents her spleen over at Forever in Hell. (at least I think it’s a spleen. I was never good at anatomy.)

Supposedly, St. Francis once said, “Preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.” If you listen to the video carefully, you can here him weeping in the background.

Via Jesus Needs New PR, here’s a well produced animated clip from Living Waters (Ray Comfort’s group).

To my (former Episcopalian) eyes, it looks like Protestant theology, streamlined and blown up to the point of caricature. No one is good enough to deserve Heaven, and so only thorough God’s grace are we truly saved from death. To receive that grace, we must believe that Jesus was the son of God who died for our sins.

One thing confuses me: who’s the intended audience here? If you believe in the Christian heaven, you’re likely to believe in the Trinity and salvation through the sacrifice of Jesus. If you believe in a type of heaven, but are Jewish or Muslim, then you’re hardly going to be impressed by some theological assertions derived from another person’s holy book. If you’re a non-believer, you likely don’t believe in heaven, hell, a theological type of sin or any of the rest of the package.

So who are Ray and Kirk talking to?
