Landover Baptist Church Takes On 10 Things I Hate About Christianity
I think I may have arrived. What do I mean?
Well, my book has made it into the scopes of the peeps over at Landover Baptist Church and their website.
Maybe you’re thinking, “What’s Landover Baptist Church?” or “Who cares?”
Among my friends and I, Landover Baptist Church is famous (and notorious) for telling people they are going to Hell, and other things of that nature. In fact, we suspect that it might all be a hoax of a site and church–just some dudes stirring things up for fun.
So when I recently discovered that my book 10 Things I Hate About Christianity: Working Through the Frustrations of Faith make it on a forum on their site I was very excited–especially when I read what was being said. Here are some comments in the thread:
*The resultant product has no integrity, and neither do the people who follow whatever new fashionable cult that comes from it.
*This book is to Christianity what the Holocaust was to the Jews!
*Leave it to a pacifist Swede to try to offend no one. In his attempt, he ends up offending everyone instead.
Yes! There you have it. Believe it or not, this is a sign of accomplishment. I will go about my day with a spring in my step… all the way to Hell I guess.

Landover Baptist Church is most certainly a hoax — a fictitious church in a fictitious town. They poke fun of all things wrong with Christianity. Check it out in Wikipedia:

A book like Jason’s was way too good of an opening for further jocularity.
After looking around the forums for just a few minutes, I confess that I am sick to my stomach with what I read. No wonder the unsaved steer clear of the church, especially if that’s what they see.
Well, their little subtitle explains their distaste for your book – “unsaved unwelcome”. They have no care for real people. This “church” has to be a bad joke…
It’s hilarious nonetheless.
I like their logo “Guaranteeing salvation since 1620”. Maybe they’ll Guarantee some book sales 🙂
Ha, ha, Jason; that’s awesome!
That church can’t be for real, can it?
