I honestly can't tell if that's real or a satire....

If I had to guess I'd say it's a satire because it's just so ridiculous, but I'm not sure...

Coulda warned me to turn my speakers down!

Also why does the lamb thing meow?

 

[Penumbra]

I spent more time looking at it. A lot of pages are against occult and secularism and take a pretty serious tone, so I doubt it's a satire.

Just a confused group of people.

Targeting children is horrible. If you want to convince people, convince adults, not children.

I'm guessing satire after looking at their SOF

Satire / joking

This is odd...if you reference their domain but mispell the page name, this is what you get...

Zounds! - Youth Rock Ministry

Even if this one is a satire, I have seen others that target children. Still wrong.

I think child indoctrination is wrong period.

That's why religion has become something that's viewed as heriditary and cultural rather than a personal decision...if you're getting it forced on you from the time your 5, free will won't be a factor (which is what I think a lot of churches are banking on...and I use the term banking literally)

There is a paid advertisement for Jerry Falwell's Liberty University at the bottom of the page.

What was that "Poe's Law" thing people talk about around here?

 

[Verv]

They have an advertisement for "LOL: Love Our Lord" on the side.

Furthermore, why would a Ministry be telling kids to report atheists to their ministers?

Odd.

 

[WiredSpirit]

Would you have believed Fred Phelp's "God Hates America" page was for real if you didn't know better?

 

[Jane_the_Bane]

Isn't it kinda sad that we even have to debate whether this is a satire or not?
It seems as if religious fundamentalism is a joke in and of itself- and not a particularly funny one, either.

 

[Silent Bob]

Let me add that I too had a look and I too am not sure if this is satire or serious.

Either way they are right about one thing:

Atheists are often very grumpy and bitter and will lash out at children or they may even try to trick you into neglecting God's Word.

Not only that I might add, but Atheists may even eat the children and Christian pets!

 

[Jane_the_Bane]

After seeing a news report about a creationist museum (including dioramas that show cavemen and velociraptors living peacefully together), I find it hard to differentiate between satire and the real thing, too. Most of the stuff spouted by such fringe groups is so remarkably silly that I find it hard to imagine ANYBODY taking it seriously, including the ones who propagate it.
