    Warning, reading this may cause your jaws to drop.

    That site is a parody of fundamentalist Christians. Its not the site of an actual church.

    Oh thank God it's fake. I was really worried for a second.

    It has a whole "warning atheists this is not a parody" though, is it real?

    Cause it's funny. It's funny cause we ALL know at least 1 Christian that actually acts/feels like that.

    Is it?


    • Do you think we are a parody?
    Perhaps you've heard that we are a joke, satire or parody, and you came to our site for a few cheap laughs or "lulz", only to find people taking everything seriously. So now you have decided to be the first to "spill the beans" and let everyone in on your "knowledge". Friend, this has been done so many times that it isn't funny any more.

    When an Atheist loses a debate to a fundamentalist Christian, it is a common tactic to accuse the Christian of being a parody. The Atheist is so full of pride, that he cannot imagine being outsmarted by a dumb God-Believer, so he thinks the Christian must be an Atheist like himself who is only pretending to be Christian. This is known as Tabor's Law.

    Our situation is not helped by the fact that there is some atheist satirist who does an impression of our Pastor Deacon Fred at atheist conventions. People hear about him and start rumors that they are the same person and that the real Landover Baptist Church is also just a joke. Some Atheists go so far as to vandalize our church's Wikipedia page to say that we are a satire.

    Here is a link to the version of the before the vandals got a hold of it.

    Making people think the church is real is the whole idea. Obviously, you'd want a page on there denying its a parody.

    No, thats the vandalized version (quite possibly "vandalized" by the LBC website owner to help further the joke). The version I showed you is the real deal. How do I know? Because of this from the page you linked:

    The Landover Baptist Church is a Bible believing, Fundamentalist, Independent Baptist Church. The Church Campus is located on a 35 acre campus in Freehold, Iowa.

    Which would imply that Freehold, Iowa is an actual location that you can look up on Mapquest or Google Maps. Give it a try. Or did vandals hack those sites too?
