Based on the glorious Book of Moroni from the holy Book of Mormon Another Testament of Christ.

The Book of Carl

1. An epistle of my father Rick, written to me, Carl; and it was written unto me soon after my calling to the walking. And on this wise did he write unto me, saying:

2. My beloved son, Carl, I rejoice exceedingly that your beautiful cheating Mother hath been mindful of you, and hath called you to this earth to slay Zombies.

3. I am mindful of you always in my prayers, continually praying unto God the Father in the name of his Holy Child, Jesus, that he, through his infinite goodness and grace, will keep you through the endurance of faith on his name to the end.

4. And now, my son, I speak unto you concerning that which grieveth me exceedingly; for it grieveth me that there should Zombies rise amongst you.

5. For, if I have learned the truth, there have been Zombies amongst you since you were but a child.

6. And now, my son, I desire that ye should labor diligently, that this gross error should be removed from among you; for, for this intent I have written this epistle.

7. For immediately after I had learned of these Zombies I inquired of the Lord concerning the matter. And the word of the Lord came to me by the power of the Holy Ghost, saying:

8. Listen to the words of Christ, your Redeemer, your Lord and your God. Behold, I came into the world not to call the only the righteous but all humans to repentance; the shambling need no physician, for they are undead; wherefore, little children are whole, for they are quick and harder to bite; wherefore the curse of Zombification is taken from them with a bullet to the brain, thus it hath no power over them; and the law of Zombie lobotomy my command.

9. And after this manner did the Holy Ghost manifest the word of God unto me; wherefore, my beloved son, I know that it is solemn mockery before God, that ye should fail to lobotomize Zombies.

10. Behold I say unto you that this thing shall ye teach -- repentance and Zombie slaying unto those who are accountable and capable of carrying a weapon; yea, teach parents that they must repent and be slay the undead, and quicken themselves as their little children, and they shall all be saved with their little children.

11. And their little children must slay as soon as they are able. Behold, Zombie slaying is fulfilling the commandments unto the remission of decay.

***

30. Farewell, my son, until I shall write unto you, or shall meet you again. Amen.
