I recently happened on a Christian tract that bears the arresting legend

GOD
SAYS PLEASE
DO NOT GO TO
HELL

"Please"!  I rather doubt there is any scriptural authority for imagining the Lord of Hosts as polite.  Truly we live in decadent times.

The accompanying cartoon is faintly erotic.  It shows God's hand holding a well-made young man in fairly tight jeans, well above a sea of flames.  The man is straddling God's middle finger
and using a mallet to drive a huge spike into His wrist.  There is not a lot of blood.

Well, it's always nice to say "please" and "thank you" but you're right...I can't remember God saying that in scripture. Make you wonder if the next nicety will be God and Satan having a tea party.

I am wondering if you were reading a Jack T. Chick tract.

It comes from the Fellowship Tract League (Lebanon, OH).
