Yes! It _ **is** _ a hoax. Note the information several of us dug up on the [Is Objective Christian Ministries fer real?](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=198567) thread. (You can also find a discussion of this site in an earlier thread from months back, although the hamsters were not cooperating when I tried it, this morning.) ---

I have nothing to contribute, except to say that this: > [@](#): > > This is also the first year that Muslim students from the Al-Jannah Islamic school have been invited to participate; two of their students presented a project on human anatomy entitled “Allah (SWT) Created Me” which, while it was found ineligible for a prize due to a number of Biblical inconsistencies, did win a special Interfaith Outreach ribbon. is my favourite part. ---

I love the bios… too funny. > [@](#): > > Jose Rosas > Pastor Rosas of the ecumenical Catholic Outreach Baptist Ministries has helped us greatly in bringing awareness of the anti-Christian bigotry on our Internet to the Catholic Hispanic community. Though most of the Pastor’s flock are too poor to own computers, they are still a valuable asset for raising the awareness of more affluent Christians ---

Creeeeeeepy. Potentially funny. But creepy regardless. ---

Then I must congratulate them on their subtlety, something Landover and Betty Bowers usually lack! I wonder if “Just for Catholics” appreciates the link. Or knows they’re linked. Or knows it’s a hoax. Landover is a parody. This is believable enough to be a true hoax. ---

[The Thermodynamics of Hell](http://www.lhup.edu/~dsimanek/hell.htm). Kinda disproves the conventional notions, though. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by dropzone \* > \*\*I’m still not convinced it’s a joke. The links are to real Christian sites. Other than the science fair the other articles are not as obviously jokes as the ones on Landover are. \*\* I’m not so sure. Take a look at the “Christian Rock Group” Zounds. They feature a song called, “Who let the Praise out?!” They also have a song entitled “Wacky Wicca Chick.” A sampling of the lyrics, \*Mother Earth, Ishtar, Baal: yes, she claims to know them all. Goes to a skyclad cabal, spends the Sabbat at the mall. Wacky, wacky Wicca chick. Wacky! Wacky! Weirder than a Catholic. Wacky, Wacky, Wacky! Her “Blessed Be”'s just a shtick. Her other car’s a broomstick. Wacky! Wacky! Wicca! (Bass solo) Her religion is a mess. She worships some strange Goddess. But the Lord don’t wear a dress. Now her soul is in distress. Wacky, wacky Wicca chick. Wacky! Wacky! Ambiguously sapphic. Wacky, Wacky, Wacky! Heaven or Hell, gotta’ pick. Christ’ll be back… Quick! Quick! Quick! Wacky! Wacky! Wicca!\* Overall, an excellent parody. ---

It seems they are a parody site trying to compete with Landover Baptist. I did some looking and found they’ve previously done an anti-Mac page. That page was evidently left behind last time they changed servers but you can read about it at [The Mac Observer](http://www.macobserver.com/article/2002/04/22.4.shtml). ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Diogenes the Cynic \* > \*\*The website is a hoax. It’s done by the same people who do the Landover Baptist site. \*\* Im not so sure, I ran a WhoIs and it’s registered to a company in Nevada. That could just mean the folks at Landover are being crafty, of course. ---

Enlighten me…Landover Baptist? Is that the Fred Phelps group? And why would he be trying to shut down his own church? I’m missing something here. ---

Sad, true story: I used to live with a lady who had a 12 year old son. He went to some nutty religious school. I helped him with his homework now and then and one day he asked for help with his _science_. Brother, I tell you, they were not teaching science. I looked at some of the gibberish they were foisting on this poor kid and had to explain to him that I would have no part in perpetuating the bullshit. I advised him to question some of the things they were claiming as “fact” and to think for himself. I wonder how he is doing these days? I haven’t heard from him in many years. * * * I scream, you scream, we all denounce Jesus for ICE CREAM! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/creation-science-fair-wtf/189435.md?page=1)
