I find it interesting that your experience is that some find the art off-putting, but you compliment the catchphrases.

I've met players who comment on the art, and it is bizarre, but don't know anyone who thought it detracted from the game.

The commentary on the cards, OTOH, is blatantly irreligious. Again, while I've never played with anyone who mentioned being offended by this, I have read many people commenting to that affect in reviews and discussions.

Personally, I love the game, but quite possibly wouldn't have bought it if I'd read the cards before hand. While some people will find the sacriligeous nature of the commentary (eg, Jesus hates you and so do I) funny, it certainly isn't necessary, and presents an image that has nothing to do with the game.

IMO, including such commentary makes no sense. I doubt anyone will buy the game for the on-card comments, but many will bypass it for that reason.

I also think that any review of this game should mention the nature of said commentary, because quite a few potential buyers WILL find it very offensive.
