"Christian" Marketing (ugh)
Why we still get the Christian Book Distributors catalog, I can't say. I very rarely (if ever) buy anything from them, and the pap that they continually push in the pages of their catalogs is enough to gag a blue whale. Some of their stuff is so bad it's no wonder the world sees Christianity as stupid. I am frankly appalled at the lack of discernment and maturity that products like these display.
