BEYOND BELIEF MEDIA LAUNCHES PREEMPTIVE STRIKE ON EASTER
Copies Of Controversial Documentary Are Hidden In Churches Throughout U.S.


Hollywood -- April 11, 2006. Declaring War on Easter, Beyond Belief Media has launched a preemptive attack on the Christian holiday, the company announced today. "Operation Easter Sanity" has already begun.

Using its documentary THE GOD WHO WASN'T THERE as the chief weapon, Beyond Belief Media is covertly planting DVDs of the film in churches throughout the United States. The popular movie, currently ranked #1 on Amazon.com's independent documentaries list, is critical of the irrational beliefs of Christians and asserts that Jesus Christ did not exist.

A total of 666 DVDs will be hidden like "Easter eggs" in sanctuaries, church yards and other holy areas by Beyond Belief Media's national team of volunteers. The DVDs will be slipped into hymnals and other locations where they are likely to be discovered by unsuspecting worshippers.

Some DVDs of THE GOD WHO WASN'T THERE will be planted by undercover operatives among actual Easter eggs at churches holding egg hunts on Easter Sunday.

"People go to churches to hide from the truth," explained Beyond Belief Media president Brian Flemming, a former Christian fundamentalist. "At no time is this more apparent than Easter, when Christians get together to convince each other that a man died, stayed dead three days, rose from the dead and then flew into the air above the clouds.

That insidious mailman stuck it in my mailbox a while back!

Did you send a copy of the press release to O'Lielly and Wolf?

4. Not Yet. We need to be sure O'Liely/Faux News, as well as Dobson, Falwell
etc. get the press release. If they try to suppress the film - and they cannot help themselves when it comes to whining about "persecution" - it will help to draw more attention to it.

5. Take your DVD to a church, send a photo, get a new copy free!
If you plant some fliers with the DVD, your replacement DVD will be personally signed by the director, Brian Flemming.

9. I've been thinking more about this concept
and got to laughing. Man, are they on the wrong track. Don't they know that fundamentalists, if they find these things, will be certain they were put there by the Dark Prince? Even READING this article is enough to make them certain they are right. See? We told you so! We are in war with Satan? He is trying to kill our faith!

I essence, it isn't going to convince anyone of anything except that they are RIGHT.
