Flirt To Convert... (edited 4/2/08)

As I'm posting this entry, it may very well be a joke by Intervarsity Press (to be more specific, Berkeley) but they unveiled a new book called "Flirt To Convert". I'm stating this now that if this is indeed an April Fool's Prank... you got me. But for everyone who isn't afraid to be fooled but curious here's the link:

Flirt To Convert

Here are some of the most absurd things I've ever read on the back cover:

"Growing up in church I've always felt guilt about looking so hot. But after reading this book I realized God have given me gifts a long skirt just can't hide!"
Grace, 32

What ever happened to humbleness and humility?

"Now when boys ask me out I really know they're really just seeking God"
Christine, 22

Anyone with common sense knows the initial reason for asking someone out isn't because they're seeking God, but rather they're seeking companionship and a sense of belonging (and in some cases it's for marriage but we all know anyone in junior high and high school isn't looking for marriage).

Apparently there's an actual following for this so called cause. If you care to read what is written in the first website, I'm sure you'll have the same look as me ... o_O, especially when I read the following, "Not only can we date hot guys (as only hot Christian girls could do)...[bold and italics added]". If you care to read what's in the second website, take note of the drop down menus and the default checked box.

For those who don't know, missionary dating (which is dating people for the sake of evangelizing to them) is wrong and discouraged. That's a topic worth covering another time, but at the moment you can look at these baffling websites if you're in the mood to be bemused.

So it turned out the book was an April Fool's prank. The above websites though I'm not too sure it is.
