Wow! That’s awesome! It’s like PETA for mints! “Pray to the Man!” “What goes around comes around.” I guess you are in store for some mighty minty breath! Not bad Karma to have…

OMG

ROFLMAO

How we removed them is our business ….

I can just see a bunch of “Christians” liberating them from the shelves saying that theft is only okay when doing God’s work.

As a christian myself, I say bollocks to people like this

“How we removed them? That’s our business.”

For some reason, that stuck out at me as the most awesome part of the whole awesome voice mail.

@Xopher – I think it’s the implication that Jesus had bad breath. (For some reason I am reminded of the old Far Side cartoon where God goes on Jeopardy. Gary Larson wrote about making sure that God had all the points and no one else had any, so as not to imply that God was anything less than omniscient, not to mention having the quickest buzzer-finger in all of Creation.)

But I think it’s less a religious issue and more about having or not having a sense of humor. I consider myself pretty religious, I go to church every week, I read the Bible, and I don’t have a problem with these mints. I’ve seen some religious ‘humor’ that was actually pretty mean-spirited but these mints appear to be deliciously minty and nothing more.

(I have to admit I am wondering about her threat to have them pulled from shelves: I thought you could only buy McPhee products online?)

Does God get mad when his constituents call him a “man”? I get the distinct impression he typically thinks he’s better than us.

I ask you this in jebus name.

Could someone religiously-minded please point out exactly what a reasonable person could find offensive about the mints? I’m a bit perplexed.

DrMatt: Flying Spaghetti monster only handles burnt dinners and lost soup spoons these days.

Better to pray directly to Saint Button Horder who helps people that collect or distribute evil collectables.

I will pray for you in the name of the Flying Spaghetti Monster.

Why do Christians think apostates will respond to threats like these? It’s like, “Oh dang, I didn’t realize my religion joke would bother religious people. My bad!”

C’mon. Doesn’t this woman have to do a cancer walk or build a house in New Orleans or feed starving Africans? Threatening a jokey-joke company is the most Christian work she can be doing? Gimme a break.
