He may be humiliating that which is dear to us, but because it is dear to him as well. Satirists attempt through laughter not so much to tear down as to inspire a remodeling. The satire employed in the Artisanitorium serves the same purpose. We make fun of denominations, Pentecostalism, and Christian folly in general not for the sake of tearing down but for the sake of reformation. At times it seems satire is completely negative, but this is far from the truth.
Satire assumes a norm and uses it as a standard of comparison.
In the Artisanitorium, that norm is Christ and sincere expressions of the Christian faith. We apologize if we aren't up to Swift's level. Very few are. But whenever reading please keep in mind the nature of the work you are reading and the goal of our writing. Any romantic notions you have of various denominations or the church in general may be threatened, but that is only so you stay faithful to Christ.
