I realised yesterday when I asked my mother what type of pie she ate that for me to accept her answer I would have to believe it on the basis of faith. My secular heart just could not accept this illogical pie eating revisionism.
So I wrote a book to disabuse people of there pie based faith. We should all put in our effort so that the world can one day be free of pie based oppression.
I sincerely hope that this book will make people turn away from the pie menace. To Paraphrase John Lennon...
You may say I'm a Pie Eater
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will Eat Pie as one
I will call my creation... A Manual For Creating Pie Eaters.
