Apple = Evil.

Apple = Evil. I can't decide if this page is a joke or not.
Sadly, having grown up in an area that is rife with these sorts of people, I feel it might actually be serious.
Makes me want to buy an Apple - and I don't even like that company.

Me either. But it's hilarious. Thanks for the link. And it makes me prouder than ever to be sitting here stroking the godless keys of a G4 while the daemons and Darwin run rampant under the hood.
opensource = communism
Best. line. ever.

Oh my Gods, I didn't check the previous post before I made that last comment, so now it sounds like I'm agreeing with hadashi's truly evil admission that he doesn't like Apple, Inc. I want to clarify that when I said "me either", I was referring to dogwelder's uncertainty about the veracity of the article he linked. I was not agreeing with hadashi's dislike of Apple. I love Apple, and everything they stand for. I'm going to go and sacrifice a chicken to Steve now, so please excuse me.

It's a joke - there's a link to Landover Baptist on the sidebar.
And look at the captions - you can't see those being written straight-faced.
But it's damn funny!

Well, not a link to Landover Baptist... a link to an article about the naughty, naughty folks at Landover Baptist and how they need to stopped... I smell Landover people stirring the pot, basically. Heh.
Sorry if it wasn't clear - my brain is on holiday. It's Sunday, dammit! ;P

to open up certain locked files one has to run a program much like the DOS prompt in Microsoft Windows and type in a secret code: "chmod 666". What other horrors lurk in this thing?
Oooooooh, the eeeeeeevils of CHMOD!
Oh, this stuff is good, good satire. Almost too good.

That is a very, *very* well-done spoof. It had me completely suckered. The Apple article was just loony enough to be real. Likewise the Mall and Game Theory articles. There really are people that would believe all that stuff...
...but the author biographies gave it away. Just a little too over-the-top. Whew!

The webmaster's personal homepage. If this is a joke, and I am getting more and more convinced that it is... then it is the best farce that I have ever seen on the internet.
Questions:
dogwelder, where did you find out about this site?
how can we find out who made all these pages? i want to give him or her money.

The webmaster's old, pagan personal homepage. Before he found the Lord, the webmaster, "Kyle Goldman" was apparently a fan of the Evil Dead and other such satanic stuff. Check out the Manson MIDI!
Oh how the plot thickens... check the guys guestbook!

Hm. I don't get it. It's not hard to parody creationists -- they practically parody themselves. How many "look at the silly fundies" pages do we need before it's not clever or interesting anymore?
I have to admit, I do want one of these mugs though. Bah! I don't need anything but coffee.

This OS -- and its Darwin offspring -- extensively use what are called "daemons" (which is how Pagans write "demon" -- they are notoriously poor spellers: magick, vampyre, etc.)
wow. I really can't tell if this is satire or not.
note the ad banners, I've already seen one for the jesus action figures, and now there's one for Dinosaur Adventure land, where one can apparently learn about dinosaurs in the bible. domain appears to be owned by CSE enterprises, CSE meaning Creation Science Evangelism. seems serious? maybe that's why it's so funny?

The student Creation Science Fair is the best part of the site.
My favorites are the elementary school level winners, with their projects: "My Uncle Is A Man Named Steve (Not A Monkey)" and "Pinecones Are Complicated."

If this is indeed a joke, it's even more deliciously ironic that it's served by a free Christian webhost (that looks legitimate). I still can't decide if it's not real, it's so spot-on. And you're all wrong, Baby Jesus is the best part. (ever.)

It's such a large site I wouldn't think that someone trying to do a satire would put so time and effort into it. Yet, there are so many things that make you laugh, it can't be real. Maybe it's real, but the guys are willing to laugh at themselves a little bit?
Oh and the Bazooka Jesus is the best part.

When you mouseover the baby jesus's cranky little face, you get : "The Baby Jesus Weeps For The Souls of The Unsaved".
This, combined with the look on the little tyke's face, gives me many many roofles.

And don't take my comments too seriously, evanizer. I don't like Apple as a company, but if their product is the right one I buy it. I do own an Apple Airport, after all.
And a Titanium laptop is looking more and more appealing...
(No! No! It's of the devil! Must resist!)

Any message you read claiming to be from Jim Carlson or any other OBJECTIVE: Ministries member that contains vulgarities, sexual innuendo, bad poetry, or other un-Christian sentiments is to be considered a FRAUD and ignored.
So... yeah. No posting bad poetry in Landover Baptists guestbook under the name Jim Carlson. Baby Jesus hates that.

It's too bad it's not real. I'd love to inform the author that the back in '94 the Pope ordered two special white MessagePads as prompters for his speeches.
Hmm.. Newton... Didn't the church hate that guy's teachings too? The messagepads could be forcing the Pope to commit blasphemy by replacing his words with those of hippies and, via divine mandate, those words would be as binding as holy scripture...
