Evil? by Timothy Carter
4.0
Ages 12+ (no major language, but the plot centers around masturbation. That might make some parental-types uncomfortable, so I'm erring on the side of caution. Oh, and of course it pokes fun at America's Favorite ReligionTM)
Right up my alley. Teenage Stuart is caught masturbating by his younger brother. Soon, the whole town is in an uproar, and teenagers are their target. High school students can face expulsion if they are even suspected of engaging in the sin of Onan. With the help of a murderous little demon named Fon Pyre who he's been summoning for the past year (he's making a film where he gets the real deal on what God cares about - fortunately for Stuart, being gay isn't an issue for God) he sets out to discover what's behind his town's irrational hatred of those who spill their seed to the ground. Answer: a fallen angel, of course.
A tongue in cheek angel-slam that pokes fun at the blind (and illogical) devotion that sometimes accompanies Christianity. A sharp satire for people who make signs like this: http://slog.thestranger.com/slog/archives/2009/09/18/gay-people-can-quote-the-bible-too
