The wingnut Christian contingent of the good old USA used to appall and upset me, but I like to think I’ve grown calmer and more patient as I’ve grown older. Now they just make me giggle. Most of the time, the distinction between parody and Bible-thumping seriousness is so faint as to be invisible to the modern, godless, urban feminist eye.
Take, for example, the Landover Baptist Church — a website that appears shocking but utterly believable on first glance, but is actually a parody. Not to be outdone by a fake church, actual Christians have staged prayerathons in protest of internet sarcasm. For your amusement, here’s my current favorite slice of Fundie humor, titled “Is My Little Baby Going Gay?“, and filled with tips to prevent your little boy from becoming a horrible disgusting limp-wristed fairy.
The article is totally hilarious and obviously a parody with no basis in reality, of course. Right? ……..Right?

Well, while I agree that Baptist teachings seem irrationally intolerant of such things as evolution and are still mired in the whole “black and white” thinking on sexuality… I must defend my protestant evangelical friends.
Westboro Baptist Church has like, 12 members. The reason it has like, 12 members, is because most mainline Baptists genuinely hate the “sin” yet love the sinner.
While I disagree with what is and is not a sin, I think, on balance, we can hate a maladaptive act yet love the actor, in any case.
Of course, that is still pretty radical… it means treating murderers and child molesters with respect.
