Product Description

Product Description
In the sacred and honorable tradition of The Onion comes a hilarious and outrageous collection of 'Church Newsletters' that gleefully skewer America's religious right. The Godly ministers at Landover Baptist Church (Guaranteeing Salvation Since 1612!) have been sending out their newsletters for years, helping save those headed for damnation from falling into the devil's clutches. Making sure that no Christian is left behind and that all non-believers burn in Hell, Pasto Deacon Fred and his band of merry white preachers share such righteous wisdom as 'How children can win a Playstation (r) 3 by accepting jesus Christ as their personal Saviour' and 'How to prevent from turning Macy's into Neverland Ranch.' Complete with Bible Quizzes, Sacreligious Sidebars and mug shots of America's damned, Welcome to Jesusland! Is sure to bcome a classic of religious and political humour - while cleansing heathens frm the Earth (or at least from those pesky Blue States).

About the Author
Pastor Deacon Fred is proud to lead Landover Baptist which was founded in 1612. (In his other life, Pastor Deacon Fred is Chris Harper, co-founder, with Andrew Bradley and Eric Walker of www.landoverbaptst.org

5.0 out of 5 stars Great entertainment yet surprisingly educational, 30 Dec 2006
By Dr. M. L. Poulter "Bias and Belief" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I hoped this might have some funny if obvious jibes at the American fundamentalist industry. Not only is the humour funnier and darker than I expected, it's actually informative and well-argued. Quotes from the King James Version of the Bible are used throughout the book to illustrate the often cruel and barbaric principles that biblical literalists don't like to talk about. You can laugh at it, but if you're the target of this satire you just can't laugh it off.

The fictional Landover Baptist church takes that literalism to its logical conclusion. It embodies intolerance, homophobia, repression ("Widowers are given permission to almost masturbate"), anti-intellectualism (the methods of "Creation Science" get applied to all sorts of other scientific questions), hypocrisy, money-fixation and xenophobia ("America is now torturing foreigners: but is it enough?"). Some of this is over-the-top parody but some of it is only a slight exaggeration of things you can find people advocating in real life.
