What would you do?

An old co-worker of mine contacted me a couple weeks ago asking if I would volunteer as a personal reference for him. He's thoroughly convinced there's a god, being the child of missionaries and programmed as a soldier of the gospel army, and looking to spread it. With Africa and the orient opening up to the western world, new missionary opportunities (converts=money) are being exploited so seminaries are taking in new meat. He wants to be part of that carnage.

I recently got an email request from one of the schools he applied with to validate his background. I've got half a mind to vaporize it but knowing the kid, Honest Abe that he is, this is his dream come true. Should I ignore the request or color him the perfect disciple for their religious groove?

This is a test of your altruism versus your atheism. There's pain in them thar decisions.
