I looked at this site, <a href="http://www.landoverbaptist.org" title="www.landoverbaptist.org">www.landoverbaptist.org</a> and it seemed to fanatical to
be true. Is it a hoax, or are these people really out there?

No, it's a satire/parody, breathe easy! It's one of my favourite sites when I need a laugh, but I admit, I wasn't sure if it was real or not when I first came across it, it's much more elaborate and consistent than most satirical sites. And, sadly, I have encountered people almost as fanatical, which is what makes it almost believable (and scary). Most of the sites it links too appear to be parodies as well, although I found one once (related to the dress code for a Christian university) that looked like it might be real. |

Alex's weblog about the Objective Christian Ministries (O:CM). He thinks O:CM may be a spinoff of the Landover Baptist site. Alex lists the O:CM as a parody site.

Another forum thread dealing with the Creationist "Science Fair" which may also be conected to Landover Baptist.

I got into landover forum for a bit, being goth, and read the anti goth forum. We had a nice exchange of insults, some of them pretty darn creative, actually, and finally I called them a fake and a fraud. I was not spiteful, since i considered them idiots from day one, but they substituted words of their own and doctored my posts, then banned me. All in all I thought the freaks were amusing. What a waste of internet space. Hopefully not too many people take them seriously. |

The site is messed up and full of bs. It makes me sick even looking at the site. I mean where it says to go get one of daddy's checks and read the bottom number to them. I want to barf when I read their site. |

The sad part is that Chris Harper is a sick jackass, and no matter how bad he is he will be allowed to operate. No one will do anything to stop him from doing what he is doing. Fine and good if he hates religion, but most people are not so poisonous about it. |

Wouldn't worry about the checks, there isn't really a phone number on the site to ring anyway. The site makes me sick because I'm not sure some of them are joking. "Parody" is a great way to get away with saying revolting things. |

Ok, I was online looking for little boy briefs for my toddler in potty training when I found a link that said something about "is my baby going to be gay" or some other trash. I was shocked...and went to check it out because I couldn't imagine anyone worrying about THAT...a baby? REALLY? and it took me to the landover BS site and I was further appalled...at first I couldn't believe what I was reading...thinking...OMG the radicals have a website! A sick, demented, website. After reading some of the trash to my husband (who is a minister) he was equally appalled...angry is a closer word and he started spouting verses that apposed just about anything we read on the site. He couldn't imagine that it touted itself as a baptist site. Then when we found out it was all fake...SATIRE we were even MORE appalled because there are people in this world who will read that trash AND try to LIVE IT whether or not they are religious. Some people just need an excuse to be prejudiced, spitefull, hurtful and abusive...I think that website is just fuel for the very people it is making fun of. |

Landover Baptist Website is an offensive site that appears to be run by a handful of very insulting, nasty people who ridicule Christianity and push it as far as they can to the extreme.
I have been in there myself under two identities and all they do is hurl insults, as well as delete any entry which aludes to Chris Harper, the atheist who founded the site and runs a God smearing comedy campaign, and they will reword and alter any message board entries to say what they want them to or defame the writer.
The guys who make the site should be shot but of course the laws of nature and man protect the most vile of human scum, so it is with them. They are on the level of rapists and murderers from where I am standing, spreading poison,and too coward to take responsibility. Mention their leader and your post vanishes fast because the pathetic loser has to hide and does not want his activities uncovered.
Just dont waste your time there. |
