Landover Baptist is a fictional church, fortunately, but it does serve as a demonstration of Poe's Law:

Re: This HAS to be a joke?
Yea, i know. In my haste (as I added by edit at the beginning of my post), I forgot about it being fictional. I had read about it some time back. I read more AFTER I posted this. I wanted to leave my idiocy here for all to see, otherwise I would have deleted the content.

I'm wondering exactly who (or what) it is that Sagan thinks has forgotten about this corner of the universe. And what telescope did he use to determine not only the number of galaxies in the universe, but also the number of people in the universe.

Re: This HAS to be a joke?
sadly enough, (some of/most of) the arabs/muslims/Dubai-people probably think like this.
Rape is less of a crime than "having sex when not married" and "drinking".
that's right, folks, a glass of wine or a pint of bitter is a worse crime than violating the sanctity of a womans body. or a mans, i guess.
no, worse, the crime of choosing to have a tipple is worse than having somebody force themselves on you in the most intimate and personal way against your will.
and, if they do rape you, you've had sex before marriage and it's your fault.
how wonderful holy law is.

Yes it is despicable, the accusation that women who are raped are harlots in the old testament, even Mary Magdaline is referred to as a prostitute. I mean what a great way to introduce/indoctrinate a young girl into your religion by saying don't talk to strangers because if they kidnap and touch you inappropriately then it is your fault and you will not go to heaven.
Great stuff that

First of all, that's the New Testament (the Mary Magdaline part). Second, nowhere in there is she ever referred to as a prostitute. That's something some early churchfather dreamed up (or maybe a later one).

Indeed...

I hunt for the truth
I am the one Orgasmatron, the outstretched grasping hand
My image is of agony, my servants rape the land
Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain
Two thousand years of misery, of torture in my name
Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law
My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore.

Gay Teen Worried He Might Be Christian
Gay Teen Worried He Might Be Christian
"I don't know what's happening to me," Faber admitted to reporters Monday. "It's like I get these weird urges sometimes, and suddenly I'm tempted to go behind my friends' backs and attend a megachurch service, or censor books in the school library in some way. Even just the thought of organizing a CD-burning turns me on."
"The other week, I was this close to picketing in front of an abortion clinic," the mortified teenager said, his eyes welling up with tears. "I know it's wrong, but I wanted so badly to do it anyway. I even made one of those signs with photos of dead fetuses and hid it in my closet. I felt so ashamed, yet, at the same time, it was all strangely titillating."

Re: Carl Sagan's Apple Pie
Primordial soup.
1. Obtain one rocky planet with a surface gravity of at least 10 m/s2.
2. Apply h2o randomly until a majority of the surface is covered. If your water is staying gaseous, move farther away from the star, if it's freezing, move closer. Be sure to adjust the orbit for stability.
3. Add a layer of methane and ammonia, and H2, sprinkle hydrogen cyanide to taste.
4. Stir gently with a satellite of at least 20% the mass of the planet. If you don't have one available, feel free to pull a chunk off, The stirring will even it up after a while.
5. Be sure to turn the planet slowly, each part of the surface should be heated evenly. a good guide is one orbit to 350 rotations, give or take.
6. Let simmer. Feel free to watch, but it may take a few billion orbits to cook.
7. Unique flavors can be achieved by heating and freezing temporarily, feel free to experiment.
8. If you attempt to clean off a bad flavor, it probably won't work. experts recommend starting over.
Serves you right.
