This may be offensive to some and I'm not sure it's real

Okay so I happened upon another odd website and to be honest I don't know if it's "real" or a joke. It's for The Landover Baptist Church and boy do they have some rather crazy ideas about the world, women, and life in general.

One of the topics I read is "3 Experiments You Can Do At Home that PROVE THE EARTH IS FLAT!"

http://www.landoverbaptist.net/showthread.php?t=45427

Now I read this post and a few others and what gets me is the people who post. They just look stereotypical and off. So if you choose to look at this site please let me know if you think this is real or not.

I do understand this may be offensive to some so please if you feel so than request this topic be deleted. I just find it funny, scary and sad at the same time.

:shock: :lol:

I have no idea if they're serious or it's a joke. I read it and I can say if they're sarcastic or that ignorant. Anyway, you made my day :D

Exactly I'm reading and thinking that this must be a joke but they write so seriously.

'close-minded types' ????

Rev Jim looks like a dodgy used-car salesman ... 'guaranteeing salvation since 1620' I don't suppose there is any point in asking for proof of that claim?
As we say here in the Emerald Isle 'more to be pitied than laughed at' :wink:

This happens in quasi libertarianism. traditional religious were almost never regresive, even if they tried so hard. Sooner or later they had to love Copernicus lol

Sadly I think they were sincere. Someone sent me an email once of excerpts taken out a religious chat room and one individual said that gravity is a myth and that sin is what holds us down to the ground.

Yes, but this is a temporary moment of being without sin, because as soon as you hit the ground you must have done something wrong in order to keep your feet planted.

Two thoughts bother me (Columbo style):

If you join the mile high club obviously your intentions are not chaste so does that mean any plane with you on it would never get off the ground?

If the plane gets off the ground therefore everyone on it (including crew!) must be sinless therefore if someone doesn't sin in flight would the plane stay up there forever? :oops:

These are the kind of worries that cause me sleepless nights .. must go now I've an appointment for confession. :oops: :oops: :oops:
