  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

I recently came across this site:

ChristWire

And I cannot decide for the life of me whether it is a parody of conservative Christianity, or a genuine conservative Christian site. There's no disclaimer that I can find, and some of its articles are... suspiciously stupid. Thoughts?

EDIT: This article was written by someone asking the same question. Consensus seems to be that it's a parody... or, at least, that he hopes it's a parody.

Surely it’s a parody. Would a real Christian web site admit they receive hate mail and create a section to display it publicly?

POE / Parody site,
Just read the video game section for a good laugh, World Of Warcraft causes AIDS :D :D
"Proof Blacks Are Possessed By Satan and Are A Violent Species"

OK, I'm fairly certain it's a parody sight now :p

All I want for Christmas is one person, just one person, to take this seriously. Please, Almight Santa, pleeeeeeeeeeeeeease!

EDIT: The article has a video that's a bit... disturbing. That's a parody too, right?

EDIT2: The video came from here. Either I'm falling for a large Poe, or it's an actual incident. If the latter, ChristWire shouldn't use it to parody Christianity.

Obviously a parody.

My favorite article from this site:

In an unprecedented display of abused power, Barack Hussein Obama today unleased his own currency.

This action is not only unConstitutional, but is no better than what pre-NAZI Germany did to their deutch dollar during WW2.

The new bill, called the ObamaMark, is the equivalent of $44. The microchip fibers in the bill are denoted by 666, perhaps making this bill a mark of the beast.

Even the mother’s at Mother’s Logic have looked into this scary trend and I would like to add to this, my findings.

If you turn in your Bible to the fourth book, you will notice it is the book of Numbers. It contains 1,288 verses, or a bit more simply, 400 + 400 + 400 + 44 +44 verses. The number from that is 44 times more less shorter than 3 x 444, or, 666 + 666.

From this simple math exercise, you can see Obama is communicating to us, twice for clarity, that he is afflicted with the Mark of the Beast.

My proof is infallible as it uses the proofs of maths.

Now, Obama believes that by printing out millions of these bills, he will not only solve America’s economic crisis, but also be seen as a living presidential legend and icon. He think he will be unto a false Egyptian pharoah god-king.

What Obama does not realize is that by printing out this currency, he will cause massive inflation and put the coup-de-grac to America. Perhaps this is what Obama and his sultan sheik overlords have aimed for all along.

I looks like a parody, and a fairly gross one. Here's one I've never been able to figure out: Global Slowing Home Page[wash my mouth][wash my mouth] Stop the Madness[wash my mouth][wash my mouth] The Truth is Out There
I'd call that one parody based on the Who We Are page:
[FONT=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif]Who we are:
We are a coalition of
Global Experts on Earth Kinetics Studies. This is a group of highly-skilled, experienced, scientific specialists united by a common concern for our Earth. We have centuries of accumulated experience among us and have dedicated this website to alert the public of this threat.
Amidst the pages of research we have accumulated through these alert scientists, we have uncovered alarming connections and secret government programs. Coincidence? We think not!
Statement of Integrity:
Globalslowing.org does not and NEVER WILL accept GOVERNMENT FUNDING of any kind, foreign or domestic, despite their best efforts to influence or "buy" the findings from our research and publications. No animals were harmed in any way by our research.
