I thought I’d share with you some tidbits from the newest edition/addition in my library. These are photos from my iPhone.
It’s brilliant. It opens with a statement I can paraphrase as: if you/r friend are/is overweight, not only is it the devil’s fault but you should question your salvation.
I’ll deal with the substance of the argument in a future post – but now I’m going to share with you some of what I think makes this book special – its style.
Some of its illustrations look like Chance cards from Monopoly:
With a bit of high art (which may suggest that the original sin was gluttony not disobedience).
The problem is your sub-conscious. It’s the Devil’s playground.
It’s this sort of advice that will set you on the path to skinniness:
It says: “A glass of water will do you for breakfast. It’s surprising how satisfying a glass of water can be.”
The Devil is an imp in a top hat.
He ends up in web of positive thinking and healthy eating advice:
I’ve only posted less than half the post-worthy illustrations here (and they’re photos from my iPhone). I’m hoping to post the rest in coming days/weeks in better quality and with the kind of analysis you’ve come to expect from St. Eutychus.
I trust you’ll enjoy this journey of self discovery thoroughly.

This book should be titled “How to give Christians eating disorders”. I’m expecting a drawing of someone with there head in the toilet “repenting”. Or would it be performing a self-exorcism?
Can’t wait for more! This is golden blogging, Nathan. Come over. We have mud cake in the fridge.
Thanks Nathan I never knew all that. I’m going to give up eating right now!
wow. I mean wow. I’ve dealt with clinical depression for a long time and gotten the same sort of responses about that but none were so… obviously ridiculous?
Perhaps they only become obviously ridiculous when you incorporate them into comic style.
that is why people think Christians are nuts. me, however, find it hilarious. geez louise….this is gold!
The guy with the glass of water doesn’t look very satisfied. A glass of coke will also do for breakfast if had with some cold pizza.
