Surfin’ for Jesus

First of all let me point out that this is an exercise in satire. Absurd content with strange recommendations to Web sites entirely bizarre in nature will follow. There, that’s my disclaimer – now say 10 Hail Marys and click on the mouse.

At landoverbaptist.org you can get a "godly perspective on local, national and world news." With stories about knowledge being the cause of disease and pregnancy, you quickly get the feeling that you’re not in Kansas anymore. Headlines include "Hackers for Jesus Crash 300 Adult Sites" and "Rugrats – Television for Pedophiles." Take the Bible Sex quiz to find out what’s abhorrent, and download your demonology diploma. Fabulous links to fine Christian Real Estate (close to Church) and great tongue-in-cheek propaganda. Don’t forget to purchase a T-shirt – my "Jesus is Gonna Get You" is already in the mail. If you’re in a rush you can always check out the 60-second sermons to start your day off just right.

Another similar site worth a mention is bettybowers.com. Betty is so close to Jesus he validates her parking. Enjoy hours of fun in Betty’s advice column – "What Would Betty Do?" Find out if God farts and get the answers to age-old questions like: If you don’t wear Prada, can you still be saved? Splendid merchandise in the form of "You Make Jesus Vomit" T-shirts are also available.

When you’re done laughing your ass off, go to falwell.com – Jerry Falwell’s official site. You’ll stop laughing.

But not for long.
