I bought the domain name for that Baptist Church in Ashville...
eastwaynesvillebaptistchurch.com Does anyone want it? I don't have any idea how to build a web page or maintain one, but if someone is willing to take it off my hands they're welcome to it. I imagine we could have a little fun at their expense. PM me if you want this. I have to go to the Doctor now. :hi:

7. There are others, .net, .org etc...
I have not checked availability, however.

How much longer until .god is approved for use? Fundies would love to put .god behind all of their web-hate domains.

9. I can run it if someone's got the web space.
My email is fake, so, let me know if you want to connect with me. We could always re-direct it to a geocities. They're free. Could be fun.

The www.whitehouse.org folks are caretakers of the Landover site.

12. FAKE?
Landover Baptist is one of my favorites! I didn't realize it was a parody. Sounds like many of the fundies I've endured.

Landover Baptist Church
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

The Landover Baptist Church is a web site which serves as the home of a fictional church of the same name. Landover Baptist is a parody of fundamentalist Christianity and the religious right in the United States of America.

The site proclaims, for example, that the King James Bible as written is the literal word of God; that holding different religious beliefs than those shared by Landover Baptist are grounds for being damned to Hell; and that George W. Bush was appointed directly by God to the office of President of the United States of America to do battle with heathens and other un-American individuals. The site prominently features articles by Betty Bowers, "America's Best Christian".

On the satirical Whitehouse.org site, the Landover Baptist Church is listed as heading the "United States Department of Faith". The satirical OBJECTIVE: Christian Ministries site runs a mock campaign to shut down the Landover Baptist site.

This site may come across as too true for anyone who grew up inside a conservative Christian environment. In this case, the final emotion can be excrutiating pain without so much as a smile.

As of March 2005, the Landover Baptist Church web site was the third result returned for a Google search on "Baptist".
