Assuming you meant "Boggle", why the surprise?
Threats of imminent other-worldly destruction, up to and including the
loss of your *immortal soul* (copyright), is the oldest Christian
money-raising trick on the books; originating with the Catholic Church
and continuing right up 'til today.
What's boggling is that there always seems to be a fresh supply of
idiots out there who'll say "He's right! Let's send him little Billy's
college fund!" when confronted with fliers like that.
And that's what the Fundie scammers count on, unfortunately.
