I was a follower of Dickism
back in the early times of Coastlink,
and it's refreshing to see Dickism back
again... and hopefully with a new
thrust of followers...

A thrust indeed. I'm a new member
to the following so you will have to
excuse my understanding of the old ways.
Though it's not for a lack of wanted
learning. I try to understand... but
just when it seems I am beginning to
grasp things... I get too drunk to
maintain consciousness.

...I simply can not believe that
anyone with an ounce of sense would
waste their time on something that
obviously took more time than it
was worth thinking about. Not only
does your sense of humor let you
down but your lack of respect for
God shows complete ignorance of
his handiwork here on Earth.

One can only hope that you are
able to see the error of your ways
when you mature.

We Reply:

So do we! And speaking of common
sense, respect and his "handiwork"
here on Earth- let's not forget the
many beautiful things that have
come about "here on Earth" in his name.
The crusades... the inquisition... the
many religious purges of the middle
ages... holy wars... fanaticism and
the persecution and death of people
because of their beliefs!

"One" can only hope that you are
able to use sentences without the
archaism in future. It alarms us greatly.

I think that what you've got going
there is really something special. I've
never been able to justify my wanton
lust for the pale ale before I read of
your religion. Now I have something to
drink for.

...Where do I sign up?

We Reply:

Thanks Andrew! Maybe you didn't realise
it but you've been worshipping at the
Temple of the Holy Dick for longer than
you think. As for signing up... stay
tuned for our Online Ordination service!

You sick fucking perverts! (You've)
got to be some sort of megalomaniac
wanker if you expect people to (believe)
all of this shit (you're) dishing out
on the web. It's just another fucking
rort...

We Reply:

Thank you very little! We genuinely
appreciate your kind words and assure
you that people like yourself will not
be forgotten come Dicky Judgement Day.
We hope you've got a helmet.

You can't spell for shit... but you're
absolutely right: We don't expect
anyone to believe a word of it. So
where's the rort, moron?

As a devout catholic and regular
church goer, you'd expect me to be a
little upset by your web site. On the
contrary!! I found it quite refreshing
and humorous. I think it's great to
see someone looking at the lighter side
of religion without being overly
offensive.

I liked the Pope bit too.

We Reply:

Well Barry, it's certainly refreshing
to know that there are people out there
that don't take their religion too
seriously all the time. Just don't come
crying to us when you're dead and the
Reverend Dick is the one waiting for
you at that great pub in the sky.

Great web page. Love the comments
about the pix. Will worship Dick next
time I'm at my regular.

We Reply:

Great letter. Love the handwriting.
Will let Dick know about your regular
so he can call in and you can buy
him that round.
