A problem with trying to spoof Organized Religion via simulated Religious
Tracts, Screeds, Rants, etc. is that the spoofees often possess a type of 
Religious Certainty about Life, the Universe, and Everything Else lacking
in the spoofers. As evidence of my thesis I offer you this fine specimen:

                            THE LAW OF RETRIBUTION

               Violent crime, racism, bigotry, domestic abuse, police
          brutality and oppression, human rights violations, etc.,
          ETC., continue to get worse and worse in spite of more and
          more man-made laws on all levels from local ordinances to
          international law.

               The man-made laws are NOT working.

               What we have here is FAILURE TO COMMUNICATE!
          Perpetrators remain IGNORANT of The Law--a universal, cosmic,
          and spiritual Law--The "LAW OF RETRIBUTION" or "KARMA":

               "Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a
          man soweth, that shall he also reap."  Galatians 6:7, KJV.

               "He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity;
          he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword.
          Here is the patience and faith of the saints."  Revelation
          13:10, KJV.

               "What goes around comes around."

               This LAW of the Universe is just as real as the physical
          law that for every action there is an equal and opposite
          REaction.

               It is the ENFORCEMENT, the TEETH, behind The "GOLDEN
          RULE": "Do unto others as you would have others do unto you."

               ALL perpetrators in the present will become VICTIMS in
          the future, most likely in a FUTURE INCARNATION.  Most
          victims in the present were PERPETRATORS in the past, usually
          during a PREVIOUS LIFE.

               What is needed is a MASSIVE WORLDWIDE PROGRAM OF
          EDUCATION to teach ALL present and potential perpetrators, in
          a convincing manner (with sufficient supporting evidence),
          that what they do to others WILL BE DONE TO THEM, in this
          life or the next.

               Anyone who doubts the FACT of REincarnation, and the
          related "Law of Retribution", should read books such as "HERE
          AND HEREAFTER", by Ruth Montgomery, which describes several
          kinds of evidence supporting REincarnation, including
          HYPNOTIC REGRESSION to past lives, SPONTANEOUS RECALL
          (especially by young children, some of whom can identify
          their most recent previous relatives, homes, possessions,
          etc.), DREAM RECALL of past life experiences, DEJA VU
          (familiarity with a far off land while traveling there for
          the first time on vacation), the psychic readings of the late
          EDGAR CAYCE, and EVEN SUPPORTING STATEMENTS FROM THE
          CHRISTIAN BIBLE including Matthew 17:11-13 (John the Baptist
          was the REINCARNATION of Elias.) and John 9:1-2 (How can a
          person POSSIBLY sin before he is born, unless he LIVED
          BEFORE?!).

               People would behave much better toward each other if
          they knew that their actions in the present will surely be
          reaped by them in the future, or in a FUTURE INCARNATION!


               UN-altered REPRODUCTION and DISSEMINATION of this
          IMPORTANT Information is ENCOURAGED.
