Do the Catholics who complain expect that there is really an interesting critique of Young Earth creationism waiting to be written? What would an ideal attack on the theology of Scientology look like? These are mop-up jobs, and I’m not surprised they don’t exactly make the imagination catch fire. It’s possible to dress these books up a bit, but making them witty tends to blur easily into making them condescending. You have to get someone on your side before they’ll enjoy the joke.
