I love good satire. It is something that Christians don't seem to appreciate enough.
I think Burleson does an excellent job of demonstrating what can happen when we add extra rules to Scripture. I can think of all kinds of things for Christians to abstain from that are not called for in Scripture on the basis that it is not good for us or can possibly be abused or may offend some.
A native of Houston, Texas, Todd served as youth pastor in churches in Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas, and Oklahoma.
