Today, while doing some research for Easter oriented clip art for use in this publication, I stumbled onto a couple of web sites that truely qualify as "Sick". This first one is actually a parody site and is supposed to be a harmless "spoof", (http://www.landoverbaptist.org). This next site turns out to be a real site, (http://www.godhatesfags.com).
It strikes me that this kind of mentality is one of the chief reasons that all of the mainline Christian faiths here in America are suffering from negative growth. The younger generation are very internet savy and can easily find these sites that represent the 'fucked-up" fringe of the Christian faith. We have allowed the continum of centuries of Christian tradition to be relegated to the "irrelivant" in our sad attempt to entertain the young generation with some kind of "fun worship". Between the efforts of the churches to constantly dilute dogma in an effort to remain relevant to young people & sites that encourage these kind of beliefs, it's no wonder churches suffer member loss.
