I also become more and more convinced that this site may be a joke. Still I think it's too big. What I don't get is why would anybody put that much work into a joke not everybody is sure to understand. landoverbaptists is easier to comprehend on this issue because they seem to be extremely hateful towards Baptism and this may be a strong motivation to invest so much work, but this one is just too soft.

Okay,
It's an extremely well made spoof. Kudos to who did this because I must say I'm impressed. Why I'm convinced now? http://urbanlegends.about.com/b/a/021969.htm lists it as a spoof AND more importantly Merrian-Webster (www.m-w.com) does not list "triclavianism" as an existing word.

The sites a spoof? [img]graemlins/lol.gif[/img] I think someone or some group of people had way too much time on their hands.

"Tim has worked tirelessly as our Treasurer, taking time from his tax practice to aid us. As an accountant, he has to deal daily with the soulless secular world and so he takes great pleasure in putting his knowledge of accountancy to use in the righteous cause of Our Lord. If you ever need your taxes filed, come see Tim. He gives a 5% discount for all Christians and 10% discount for non-Christians willing to convert on the spot." Ahahahahaha, brilliant! I LOVE this site! It's almost better than the Landover Baptist's offer for a free mobile phone if you convert! "Accept Christ and we'll throw in a mobile phone!" http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0102/phoneoffer.html

The site is more than an embarassment to Christianity, it is also a detriment. I'm glad to see that it was exposed as a spoof, but the subtleness of the site had many believing it was a legitimate site and they were upset at the indoctrination of children the site was apparently attempting to accomplish {rightfully so if the site had been for real}.
It is little things like this that just serve to reinforce unflattering stereotypes that some already hold concerning Christians in general. Unfortunately, many wouldn't have taken the time or effort to discover if the site was serious or a spoof...they would have just accepted the subtle message of intolerance and ignorance at face value and been further distrustful of Christians and Christianity. It's things like this that make me shake my head in frustration when trying to spread the message of Love that Jesus Christ holds for everyone. [img]graemlins/dontknowaboutyou.gif[/img]

So it is a spoof site! I had my suspicions. I definitely had to look close and dig a little to figure it out simply because I have seen other similiar sites that are actually real, though this does rank up there with the most extreme.
