It might be viewed as a change of subject, but IMO information is not a zero-sum commodity, i.e. there is a cost (and benefit) in possessing relavant information. Keeping that in mind, IMO the only way an author of religious satire can "trick" someone is if the reader themselves are ignorant, that is a) they are deliberately kept unaware that the written piece is satire, and b) they are deliberately kept unaware of actual facts or events surrounding the object of satire, which may have inspired the satire.
I can't help the ignorant fool with item B, but in regards to item A, if the "tricked" FReeper failed to confirm the intent of the source article, and failed to observe the "Humor" tag placed on the thread, they are without excuse if they still feel they have been "tricked".
