self-righteous right wing defense of a faux-Christian con-artist fleecing the "true believers" with a website selling bogus bullshit and pretending that it's the word of "God."

This asshole and his putrid writings are fair game for anything that sane people want or need to counter his lies and fakery. I don't care if it's Photoshopped, altered, or dragged through dog puke, the OP makes the point that it may as well have said that a snake actually talked to Eve in the "Garden," and that dinosaurs made lemonade for the mythical Adam and Eve.

You act like it's a legitimate piece of literature that's been (gasp!) plagiarized and presented as someone else's work. Horseshit! No amount of alteration of the fucking "original" can be enough to fully trash this asshole or his "work."

You must be really upset with the Onion on a daily basis.
