1st Place: "Life Doesn't Come From Non-Life"

Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from non-life. Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) - into a sealed glass jar. The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to sunlight, for three weeks. (Patricia also prayed to God not to do anything miraculous during the course of the experiment, so as not to disqualify the findings.) No life evolved. This shows that life cannot come from non-life through natural processes.

More hilarity here :wink8:
 
I don't be-f*cing-lieve this...

2nd Place: "Women Were Designed For Homemaking"
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.

This has to be a spoof, right?? Please tell me it's a spoof.... The sheer stupidity of this.... :eek:
 
OMG, how embarassing ! I fell for it.
I just spotted the landover baptist mention on the sidebar.

It was really believable to me.
 
This picture (and the caption) have made me change my ways. This man is obviously not a monkey, therefore the earth is 6,000 years old. The only question that keeps me from converting completely is, why did god give uncle Steve nipples?

I'm with CFL - I really hope this is a joke.


CAPTION READS:

"Cassidy Turnbull and her uncle, Steve, who is not a monkey according to Cassidy's research. "
 
Yes it's a paradoy. It's been posted here atleast twice. And yes it's quite freaky since it's so close to what creationists think/believe.

Thank you Jeebus!
 
Sorry, have to disagree with you folks: follow the Landover Baptist link, and it takes you a page that filled with nothing but HATE for Landover Baptist. The whole page is nothing but a campaign to shut Landover Baptist down, with links to other sites dedicated to getting rid of it. They even name the guy who they think is behind LB, and state that he's guilty of 'hate' crimes.

Until I'm shown IP address evidence that this site is being run by the same people as LB, I'm going to stick with 'the site is real' hypothesis. I ask you: is www.godhatesfags.com a Landover Baptist parody site as well?

Anyways, this was a favorite of mine:
"God Made Kitty" - Sally Reister (grade 3)
"The Bible Says Creation" - Aaron Kent (grade 5)
"Pokemon Prove Evolutionism Is False" - Paul Sanborn (grade 4)

That's just so cute, and so horribly wrong, that it gives me funny tingles in my cerebral cortex.

Is it possible to gag and giggle at the same time? What would that be called? Gaggling?

I am curious what Patricia Lewis thinks about Jonathan Goode's project...

Yeah. This is Objective Ministries. Don't know if LB is behind it, but it's definitely a parody. IIRC, these are the same guys who claimed that Apple Mac are in league with the devil.
 
Once again I must state: we NEED a word that describes the condition of when a view is so warped and extreme, that a parody of it can't be distinguished from the thing that it is parodying.

Something in German perhaps... even something in Dutch! But we need a word for this, people!
 
OK, it's a fake site. I've been going thru all the 'contributers' on the site, and then only place they ultimately can be traced to is this site.

Once, you guys mentioned the Apple2 bit, it all came back to me.

So, what we have is Landover Baptist, an outragous parody site, being attacked by another fake site, which is not as outrageous? Curiouser and curiouser and curiouser still...

My question: who ARE these people who's photos appear on the site? People that the authors know? Their own parents? Random photos found at a 1-hour photo stop? The mind boggles...

The clinker: the giftshop. Check this item out. Sure to make you hit among fundy Xtians:

I wasn't sure it was a parody until I went to the online store. The thong that says "will you be my husband?" clinched it.
 
James, check out my last post. And get something from the gift shop. ;)

Now: give me that word about being unable to tell the parody from the thing it parodies!! The world needs a word. Even French if necessary!

Sorry about that, you posted while I was collecting threads and I couldn't be bothered to delete my reply.

According to Google's translation tools, translating 'a parody which can't be distinguished from the thing that it is parodying' from English into German gives 'ein Parody, der nicht von der Sache bemerkenswert sein kann, die es parodying'. I suggest you just take all the spaces out of that and pretend it's one long German word.
 
Ah, but 'a parody which can't be distinguished from the thing that it is parodying' is missing something crucial: the thing that the parody is making fun of is SO outrageous that you can't tell if the parody is real or not.

The word has to focus on the thing being parodied, not the parody itself.

The French for "not able to parody" is 'pas capable de parodier'. I was hoping for one German or Dutch (or even DANISH hint hint) word that would do the job. Like that one word that describes enjoyment of another's misery: scheldenfruden or whatever that word is (actually, it's probably just 'envy').

schadenfreude.

It's definitely not the same as envy. It is in English language dictionaries (try m-w.com).

That French phrase for not able to parody is not at all compact. You could say the same thing in English the same way. We need a single word for this.
