(2003-08-26) — A producer of Christian evangelism leaflets has just released a 6,000 lb. gospel tract inspired by Alabama Chief Justice Roy Moore.
Justice Moore has been hailed as a champion of religious freedom for his defiance of a federal court order to remove a 5,300 lb. monument to the 10 Commandments from the state judicial building.

The new gospel tract explains to non-Christians how the 10 Commandments show God as a righteous judge, and how Jesus Christ manifests God as a merciful forgiver.
Although churches nationwide are eager to use the Alabama incident as a way to relate the gospel, some are reluctant to use the new “super-relevant evangelism tool.”.
“I know we sing that ‘Jesus is the Rock’,” said one youth pastor from Effingham, Illinois, “but I’m not sure that we need a three-ton tract to prove it.”
Later this month, the same company plans to produce a “gospel brickbat” that promises “to drive the message home.”
“The gospel of Jesus Christ is so simple,” said a company spokesman, “that we’re afraid people will miss it unless we have some kind of gimmick…you know, a hook…hey, now there’s an idea. I can see it now: reel ‘em in with the gospel hook.”
