Accept Jesus and get free playstation 2!

[Paul33]

You have got to be kidding! Landover Baptist Church is offering kids and teens a free playstation 2 if they accept Jesus Christ as Savior. Not good with any other offer! I kid you not.

Well, why not? Whatever it takes to bring souls to Christ.

What's next ? A one-year free supply of stuff for the playstation if the kids regularly attend Sunday School ?

A better playstation if the kid gets baptized ?

Golly.

You guys do realize that Landover is a parody site don't you? They used to have a similar deal for a free cellphone.

 

[Paul33]

It's a parody, folks!

I kept reading the site and couldn't believe what I was reading. The sad part is that it is close enough to the truth to keep me going for several minutes.

Finally, I googled them and discovered that this is a site for a fictional church!

Aw, Paul33, this could have been fun. Why spoil it so soon?

 

[Paul33]

Magnetic Poles spilled the beans and I was embarrassed that I was taken in by this site if even for a few minutes!

My son had shown it to me and I kept telling him that this couldn't be real. But he thought that it was!

Silly me!

But it was on the internet . . .

I would not recommend visitng this site. It is blasphemous and obscene.

There is a disclaimer at the bottom of the page that it is not intended for under 18s.

Even the wikipedia link is obscene.

Wow! I was thinking about the "what if's" or consiquences(sp?) if this site was for real? The kids being bribed to be Christians. I could just see an unruley teen going to church and saying "yep I'm saved and have the Playstation 2 to prove it". Thus having a false sense of security. I'm glad that this site is bogus. But what if this was acually happening somewhere?

Since this whole thread is based on a site that we cannot encourage people to visit, the thread is closed.

The "church" site, unlike some Christian satire sites, is particularly vulgar and mean spirited and anti-Christian. It is unfortunate some of its "teachings" sound plausible for a Baptist church.

Thanks for your consideration.
