[8] DC Comics decided to cancel issue #88 of Swamp Thing in 1989 for similar reasons.

[11][12] Russell has previously published books that were similarly focused on Christianity such as God is Disappointed in You and Apocrypha Now.
[13] Russell and Pace both cited Monty Python's Life of Brian as their favorite example of religious satire.
