Edward Current is Awesome...
Edward Current is a musician and comedian who rolls out video after hilarious video satirizing the most popular pro-God arguments on the internet. While a small part of me burns at the realization that this guy is far funnier than I am, I've decided to add a link to his Youtube channel to the sidebar. Seriously, this guy is great. Plus his delivery is so perfect that lots of folks mistake him for a real internet evangelist. Head over to his channel and watch a few of his videos - you'll be glad you did.

Testing Poe's Law...
Once again from the top, Poe's Law states:
With that in mind, can you guess which of the following Evangelical links are actually just parodies? Here are the rules: Don't Google the names of any of these sites, just follow the link I've provided for each one and skim the article.
Rapture Ready
Kjos Ministries
Landover Baptist Church
Exodus Times
Jesus is Lord
Satan's Rapture
Heaven.net
Dinosaurs on the Ark
It's a pity everyone and their mom has already heard of Answers in Genesis. Most of their stuff could pass for parody too.
"Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."

Invoking Poe's Law...
Poe's Law states, and I quote:
I think I may be willing to invoke Poe's Law on the guys over at PreachingYourFuneral. Honestly, I'm beginning to think that those guys are perpetrating an elaborate parody of some of the southern super-fundies that skulk around here in Kentucky and in neighboring states. The more I watch their videos (They're up to Rosie O'Donnell now, with Christopher Hitchens on deck and yours truly still apparently out of the running.) the more I expect the nasal redneck up at the pulpit to break down laughing and explain how this was all a remarkably convincing piece of satire.
Only time will tell, I suppose. In the meantime, I still want to be next, so show your support and e-mail these guys every day to remind them what a vile heathen I am.
