Here is the horror

This must be satire.

Please.

Make this satire. Pleeeease.

If you really must, look at the bumper stickers and explore the site. It makes me want to give up. How does it make you feel?

Like I want a "What Would Jesus Do?" thong. As advertised by the shaved nether regions of a good Christian girl at the bottom of the page.

A cursory check around the website would show you it's a fake. See get 25 Souls by Christmans and get a free Ipod promo.

Whether it's funny or not is a different matter.

Um, I think this is a piss-take, no?

Well, I'm guessing it proabbly is, but does it end up on the side of its antithesis inadvertantly?

It's icky.

Clothing is perhaps the most important thing about being a Christian.

Brilliance. I really like this site. Can't really see that it's any more icky than half of Chris Morris' output. I'm amazed that there was any doubt that this was one big silly joke.

"We don't know how He does it," said Landover Junior High School teacher, Mrs Doris Whitaker, "but Jesus changes the colors of the leaves on the trees during the Fall (a season named after the fall of man from Eden, which had no autumn colors). No science book will tell you that. But it is clear that Jesus is behind the pretty colored leaves that drop off the trees as piles of trash on your lawn! Why else are only the Christmas trees left green? So they can be decorated on His birthday, that's why! Praise!"

Make this satire. Pleeeease.

We do indeed live in a scary world when satire becomes difficult to distinguish from fact...

...but, to set your minds at rest, yes, this is satire, and one of the better known ones. Landover Baptist, along with the sublime www.blackpeopleloveus.com, is a great send up of America's unique style of idiocy.

Sadly such sites are in danger of becoming increasingly less distinguishable from the real thing (see just about any Creationist site as an example), and less funny.

When you smell sulfur, you know Satan has been around. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had saved men come up to me who work on them oil drilling platforms in that Gulf of Mexicans and tell me the same story. They say that sometimes they drill too far and suddenly the whole platform fills with the smell of sulfur coming up the pipeline straight from Hell. Sometimes, they can actually hear the sounds of demons in Hell screaming for mercy coming up the pipe. It is a fact the media don’t want you to know, but the folks at Exxon Mobile have had to start playing loud rap music on their platforms just to drown out the sounds of demons scampering up the pipeline to escape their never-ending torture. Sometimes, they don’t close the hole quick enough and millions of demons escape. Fortunately for us, most of these demons that escape find themselves in the water (and drown because the New Testament teaches that demons, like black people, can’t swim) or they turn up in some godforsaken Arab country where everyone is damned anyway so they can’t do much harm.

pointless & uncalled for

Loomis, having watched far too much cable over the past few months I have now lost the ability to determine if that is real or parody.

Oh if only the Ecclesiastical Soul and Prayer Network weren't nestled between the two best porn channels ever broadcast.

ZF!

Landover Baptist Church is the church from which Mrs. Betty Bowers (America's Best Christian) holds forth.

Betty's site

Among the claims that she makes that I like the most: "If God created me in his image, I have more than returned the compliment!"

And "So close to Jesus, I am STILL returning the lingerie He bought me for Christmas."
