If you find an atheist in your neighborhood, TELL A PARENT OR PASTOR RIGHT AWAY!
The fact that I cannot actually determine whether this site is a joke is sad.

It's a fringe site. Don't panic.

Did that lamb just meow at me?

Can I laugh, though? Because the giraffe scientist is kinda funny.

Sure, laugh away. But truth be told, I'm not as obsessed with born-agains as some of my liberal compatriots. Sometimes, politics notwithstanding, I almost find myself drawn to them*. Blame my catholic upbringing. The real menaces are the pseudo-Christians like Fallwell and Reed who use faith as an avenue to political power. As Jethro Tull said 'If Jesus saves, then he better save himself, from the gory glory seekers who use his name in death...'

*In the sense that I have some kind of odd respect for those who practice self-denial of worldly pleasures even if if it's something I could never manage myself

Because the giraffe scientist is kinda funny.

Also, his name is 'Professor Giraffenstein.' Does that mean he's supposed to be Jewish? This is one confused site. When people are this lost, I can't help but feel a little compassion for them**, but I'm weird.

**even though I realize that as a hard-drinking, pot-smoking, porn-loving, secular Roman Catholic bisexual heavy metal and punk fan living in sin with an athiest Jew, they probably fret for the state of my soul.

So, so SOOOOOOOOO confused right now. What WOULD the baby Jebus do?

I'm more obsessed that he's standing upright and wearing clothes, while arguing that humans are not descended from animals.
posted by occhiblu 07 September | 15:52
Err, Dr. Giraffenstein, that is. Not dno.
posted by occhiblu 07 September | 15:52
or the baby Jebus. although I imagine he could stand upright if he wanted to.

Ok. Stuff like this makes me wonder if we can just send all those crazy religious people into outer space...And I don't just mean the whacky American fundies!

It is associated with the Landover Baptist people, I think. So a very uncomfortable joke.

Hopsiah the Kanga-Jew? So not kosher.

*frets for jonmc*

Hey, while I'm at it...

*frets for Pip too*

(You know I love you two. I don't send virtual sausage biscuits to just anybody.)

Joke. One section of the site is titled "Landover Baptist Shutdown":

The Internet was created by the United States of America - a Christian nation [ref. 1, 2, 3] - and should not be used to spread anti-Christian, secular, or non-Christian propaganda and hatespeech. This is our Internet, and we should exercise our position as its owners and as the guardians of civilization to stop its misuse.

Pepper: My friend Bomby the bomadier beetle can shoot burning hot toxic chemicals out of his butt. Why?

Girrafenstein: God gave your friend that ability as a defense against evil and as a testament against the false doctrine of evolutionism.
