Landover is a spoof? No!
They have something about that in their about us section, but it is all simply doublespeak. For example, they say they profess religious tolerance yet they also go on to say
ChristianExodus.org recognizes that homosexuality is an unhealthy, unsafe, detrimental behavior that affects all citizens in a community, not just the participants. Additionally, sexual conduct outside the bonds of marriage is not a God-given right. Therefore, homosexual activity is a behavior that a state may regulate and legislate against.
and in this paragraph:
Religious displays in public:
Communities have a right to express values consistent with the majority of their citizens. This includes the public display of religious symbols such as crosses and the Ten Commandments. This communal right rests upon freedom of religious exercise and freedom of speech. However, there is no right to freedom from exposure to religious expression. To suggest otherwise would automatically negate and violate the unalienable rights of religious freedom and free speech. In other words, a religious minority in a community does not have a right to deny religious expression to the majority. As with all other communal decisions, the values and expressions of a community will inevitably result from popular will at the ballot box. If a religious minority does not like the decisions made by the majority, they may either relocate to another community or attempt to change the minds of the electorate and become the majority.
they show their true bigotry. Under this, a minority religion can be kept from religious expression.
It is a sad day for SC if they suceed, but better there than near me.

I love this passage from the President's message.
President's Column
August 29, 2004
Dear friends, a number of things are currently in the works. Our About Us page will change shortly to present some information about CE and short bio’s on our Board of Directors. Our Position Statement will be available via its own link at that time. Also, you can now visit a new link at left called Testimonials. We receive a number of positive emails from folks like you every week, so going forward we will post these positive messages on the Testimonials board. I hope they serve to encourage you as much as they do me.
Talk about having support and being open to Religious freedom.

Re: Say what?
hehe...evilheathenexodus
Is it too late to modify it to evilheathentheisticevoexodus or are we theistic evos already covered under the evil banner?

Sounds good
I just didn't want to get left off the evilheathen bandwagon. If we do set up the evilheathen conclave in SC, can I suggest we head for Hilton Head Island instead of someplace like Gaffney, SC?
