Yes, Landrover Baptist preaching is similar to Steven Colbert's approach. Hilarious!
ReplyDeleteLandover Baptist has to be one of the funniest places on the web. I love it. Esp the Womens section where you get some mp3s of fundie women talking about hell, cathylicks and homosexurals! Or the article about "Tampons - Satans little cotton fingers" Or how about "does Jesus watch me go poopy?" Or "masturbation for christian men"
ReplyDeleteIt is quite simply unbelievably funny. Pastor Deacon Fred is the mutts nuts!
