Hello Evangelical Christians…

I understand that you’re a little put out by this whole human rights thing to do with chastity rings, which is why I’m here today to remind you that chastity is not the only Christian virtue. There are others…

… like poverty.

Poverty is good for the soul. If you don’t believe us, just look at what it says in the Bible about Jesus. Did he have a £250,000 house, regular holidays in the Bahamas and the latest thing in bio-diesel-powered Chelsea tractors? No, of course not – Jesus hadn’t got a pot to piss in but that didn’t hold him back and prevent him from turning water in wine, healing the sick and lame and being an all-around super spiritual son of God, did it?

And what about Francis of Assisi? Frankie was once a rich young layabout who then discovered the virtues of poverty and became both a saint and the most famous ornithologist of his time – kind of like Bill Oddie but without the blonde sidekick.

See what I mean, poverty is a good thing for a Christian… a positive virtue…

…and that’s why I’m here today with a once-in-a-lifetime offer for all you Evangelical Christians, an exclusive opportunity to choice the fastest growing Evangelical movement in Britain today, the Brass Ring Thing™, your guaranteed route to an eternity of bliss at the right hand of God.
