A friend of mine and I seperately came across this website. I assumed it was a very devious parody (ala The Onion) which actually aims to make fun of christians, given some of the parts (particularly Professor Giraffenstein.) I even believe that this deception is so shrewd that they manage to get "real" christians to buy stuff from them once in a while.

My friend believes it is real. A cursory glance at this is not going to tell you, this will require some serious effort.

Please let me know what you guys think!!!

Link one - the page she sent me: http://objective.jesussave.us/creationsciencefair.html

Line two - the "kids" page of the same site that I had found a couple years ago, which originally led me to believe it was fake:

It's definitely a satire. In fact, I've been meaning to buy one of the "Grumpy Atheist" mugs from their cafe press shop. I bought one of their intelligent design mouse pads for Ludwig. This link is a favorite in the secularist community.

Definitely fake. This can't be real: "Jonathan Goode (grade 7) applied findings from many fields of science to support his conclusion that God designed women for homemaking: physics shows that women have a lower center of gravity than men, making them more suited to carrying groceries and laundry baskets; biology shows that women were designed to carry un-born babies in their wombs and to feed born babies milk, making them the natural choice for child rearing; social sciences show that the wages for women workers are lower than for normal workers, meaning that they are unable to work as well and thus earn equal pay; and exegetics shows that God created Eve as a companion for Adam, not as a co-worker."

I've been trying to convince her but she won't believe me (she didn't grow up Christian so as far as she knows, this is actually serious.) ;-) Keep the votes coming, and then I'll send her this thread ;-)

I don't know.. because I never grew up with alot of religion around me.

The site is rediculous but there are so many links and articles attached...lots of work for a joke.

FYI: Landover Baptist (http://www.landoverbaptist.org/) is also another famous fake Christian site.

:lol:

Fake, for sure. Also funny as hell. :lol:

Thalia, darn you, you got me to go look for that mug! All ready to buy, and I can't find it anywhere on the site. If you have a link, please share! Thanks!

I think it's real, but yes, the above quote sounds a little too...out there for me. And Chrisians don't think that way about women...at least not the ones I know, and if they do feel that way, they shouldn't call themselves Christians...

It might be a joke but that is how millions of a**holes in this country think therefore I voted yes.

You can't totally make out what it says in all places, but what you can read is really funny. Check out the other stuff with Mr. Gruff, too.

Oh, it says, (front) "Mr. Gruff The Atheist Goat Who Loves Coffee Instead of God" (back) Mr. Gruff thinks he has it all figured out... 'Bah! I don't need anything but coffee!' But without JESUS Mr. Gruff will be as empty as his mug."

It's fake. I grew up in the subculture they are parodying. The site is hilarious, and it's definitely a fake.

No homeschooling science fair that I know of permits such nonsensical science projects. When I participated in homeschool science fairs, the main difference between that and "public school" science fairs was a higher number of farm and kitchen-based projects. I did mine on length, thickness, color, and water-sheddness of dog hair. No one did anything remotely like "Rocks Can't Evolve, Where Did They Come From Mr. Darwin?" And if anyone did, it would not likely have gotten an honorable mention like in our parody site.

I found it quite humorous that on the "Objective" site, they take swings at Landover Baptist. Hehehe, they capture some arguments I know supersensitive conservative Christians would use, especially the one about "Landover Baptist leads people away from Jesus." I hate to break it to them, but bad Christians do far more to scare people away from Jesus than Landover Baptist ever will. Those who take it seriously should spend their energy improving their witness than worrying about LB.

If you want teeth-gratingly-fundamentalist Christian site that are in earnest, check out www.nogreaterjoy.org and www.uschristianflag.com. My Christian friends and I have already picked them apart, so I've had all the laughs I need from those sites.

definitely fake, and floats the **** out of my boat.

Fake. It would be too scary if it were real. I think I need to buy a Mr. Gruff t-shirt for one of my friends. She'd love it.

Knowing the internet, knowing people on it, it's probably just another thing to make fun of christians--as if we're not used to it by now.

Yes, I'm having a bad day. Yes, what I said before is what I meant. There. :cry:

Okay, after reading the other posts, especially skylark's, I'd like to retract my "I think it's real" statement. Lol. . . it did seem real though, just a little out there. :D
