Christian Propaganda

“So how’d you like the book I gave you?” Jake asks with exuberant expectation.

Ursula is not exuberant. “Are you trying to proselytize me or something?” Her face is perpetually in a scowl.

Jake honestly thought the book may have brightened her a bit. “What? Proselytize? That wasn’t a religious book.”

“It was Christian propaganda.”

Jake begins to scowl himself. “Like?”

“There was a clear distinction between good and evil for one,” Ursula says, “the moral decisions made by the characters had a direct effect on what happened to them, and there was that one scene in a church. Christian propaganda.”
