A Small Sample of e-mails unedited and in original form

You people are such hypocrites you say in your children section that Jesus Christ did not have long hair(like a homo), even though you sell bumper stickers, and shirts that have the image of Christ with long hair, and may I add that the face of Jesus that you use comes from the Divine Mercy image(you know when Christ appeared to a nun(Catholic)). O and I love your children's section name too - trying to be subtling? "Kristian Kids Korner" aka KKK. PLEASE! All you guys are, are a bunch of white, hating everyone else southerner. Its simply amazing how an un-educated person and or educated person can actually follow you, wow. O and if that little part about sending kids to go out and destroy Catholic Churches is true ( i get pissed at the statue destroying part, and the rosary part too, but the Tabernacle part especially what is in that Tabernacle made me want to come down to your little building and destroy it(will never do it because I have a little something called respect) and I will at least egg it. And I read one of those sermons about how a big fancy Cathedral does not make you a true Christian, when you guys have your own big fancy building that your so proud of. I can not believe that this is actually real. I am a CATHOLIC and it is going to be so hard to pray for you tonight with my ROSARY. But then again I know that God loves all of His children, not just you people. If you wish to e-mail me back this is not my e-mail address mine is [extracted]

P.S. I LOVE GOING TO MASS, EVERYDAY, AND RECIVING THE BODY, BLOOD, SOUL, AND DIVINTY OF HIS DEARLY BELOVED SON OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST!!!!!!!!!

I go to a Christian Babtist church in Leitchfield, Kentucky. And I would like to learn about starting a hell house. Would you please send me information regarding this subject.

Been on your website...make it 301 atheist. By the way your estimate is so low it makes me laugh. Proves how retarded you really are. Yes please report me to the FBI. I am so scared!!! You are a sorry example of a man and if your god thinks you are good then have him all to yourself as I will gladly go to jail or hell instead of worshipping someone who has followers that are as fanatical and stupid as you are.

To whom it may concern, my name is Mick Remondino. In May of 2006, a friend of mine logged onto my Yahoo! account and sent you an email perportedly from me, which you have in your May 2006 log file. I just found out when I googleed my name (it comes up first - lucky me). I'd appreciate it if you could delete it from your email history (or, at least change the name slightly). If you can't, it's not a big deal - I just don't want someone finding it if they're interviewing me for a job or something.

your article on the poor boy who was punished for playing with dolls made me sick to my stomach. Treatment like this of any child is anything but christian. It makes me sick to think someone could justify this to themselves.....Whoever wrote this article and anyone who can condine this type of behavior should in no way be considered a christian...it just makes me sick!

Hello. My name is Crystal and I am a 27 year old Christian and virgin. I was raised as a Christian, my father bring a Baptist minister and mother having been in church all her life. I was curious about what would be on the internet regarding dating Christian men and I came across your page. When I read through your page I became concerned. My concern stems from the potentially damaging advice offered. Aside from the bobbed hair comment which I assume refers to a woman’s “glory”, the advice can also foster false hope in technique and not hope in God and His timetable. Popping the question to a “Christian” woman as soon as possible does not allow a man time to get to know the woman and discover if she is truly a Christian or not. Christians also have different beliefs about children, church, living arrangements, etc; and marring as soon as possible does not allow one to truly know a person. I have been asked out by Christian men and people who merely adopted Christian beliefs to try to try to start a relationship. Because of these experiences I know telling a man to pop the question to a “Christian “woman as soon as possible will be problematic in the end.

Using awkwardly silent moments to quote scripture or sing a hymn is not harmful in itself, but to say all women will be impressed with such things and if we are not we may be possessed by demons is quite ludicrous and insulting! As a Christian woman being told not liking a constant and desperate attempt to quell a long silence with scripture and hymn and that because of that dislike I am probably possessed is beyond me. There will be awkward silences during a date and to have a man suddenly belt out scripture and hymn gets old fast! I’m on a date to learn about the man I am with. As a woman this advice makes a second date very improbable! Also all women are not alike! All Christian women are not alike. To say we will all like one thing is setting up your male parishioners up for heartbreak and disappointment.

I don’t have a problem with taking your date to Church. I mean that is where Christians meet on a regular basis. My problem with this comes from my experience. I have a male Christian friend at church that I like and the problem is I sometimes find myself becoming distracted. Nothing should distract you from the Lord! Dating in Church can do that.

Here’s my biggest problem. Grilling your date about her faith every few minutes will become annoying and once again lessen the chance for a second date. God allows us to learn about out potential mate’s faith by how they behave and through daily interaction (another reason not to rush things). I have learned this through experience. The Lord will never let you down! Also knowing the exact moment, down to the minute, you came to Christ? Why is that important as long as you have come to Christ?

In closing I need to say this list is not realistic and devoid of experience. I went to school with Christians who followed such doctrines and they were left confused and disappointed! God WILL lead us to the one we are supposed to be with. Many of the tips given here will push women away, even Godly women!

Also, yes, we women are supposed to be a companion to our husbands and obey him, but we cannot obey ungodly men!

Thank you for your time and I sincerely hope you are not of those that believe disagreement equals automatic damnation. Jesus himself disagreed with the establishment.

I think you need to remove the word "baptist" from the name of your church. From reading some of your requirments and policies I do not know what you are. I am a member of a southern baptist church and proud of it. I serve as a deacon and a sunday school teacher because the church members elected me to serve in these positions. The only pay I get is the blessings from God who gives me the strength to serve. I do not have to be "paid" to serve. I will pray for you, your church, the leaders and the membership that you truly become a baptist church.

Hello,
Please know that I am writing the church with the upmost respect and show nothing but concern. I have a concern with your athiest page. The comment about throwing kids in jail who claim to be atheist is not doing God's work. You are not to judge, that is the concern of our Father. Reporting them to the FBI is not going to be very helpful either. The bible tells us to be forgiving of others. It does not let us place judgement on others. It is not right to make such comments about these people. They have the right to believe whatever they want about 911. I don't know if you are trying to appeal to society or the people of your church by having this page up but this is hardly doing Gods work. I am very concerned. And by the way, don't you think condemning "kids" is very ungodly. Many of these kids do have not grown and are going through stages in their life. It is just unfortunate that your church has to post something like this. It is hypocracy in the churches that drives children away from it. It is the fact that so many churches judge!

I pray that you do not reply with harshness and I also will pray that will you see my point.

Thanks,

Susana Joan Spiegel

How on God's green earth can you sit there and tell parents their little son shouldent cry or use bright colors ? You need to go get some sermons from the late Jack hyles . God created every color imaginable for the world to see . Wasnt it God himself that created all the colors in a rainbow ? Wasnt it God that put tears in the eyes of men ? Let me tell you this , God is the same yesterday , today and tomorow . God has never changed . It's man who have changed . Changed their standards to fit the world . my favorite color just happens to be black . does that make me someone that worships the darkness ? NO . To tell a child that he must not cry is like telling God that he messed up when he created Adam . Id be willing to bet that God has shed more tears than all of mankind . why dont you go do a search of jack hyles and first baptist church in hammond Indiana .Lets bring the standard up to meet Gods word . Don't bring the standard down to meet the standards of man . Oh , by the way . to show (on your site or anyothe place ) that God had long hair is wrong . isnt it a sin for a man to have long hair ? isnt God a man . If God is a man and he had long hair than i think this whole world is in a bunch of cow dung . wWho will save us , me from hell now . lets cut the hair of God short on the so called pictures of Christ . I say so called because its not Christ . Noone has seen god so how in the world are we showing this so calld God ,who looks to be nothing more than a long haired hippy in theese pictures .

I was going to write to you regarding your article about Mitt Romney, but since your terms are rediculous then I figured never mind. Why write to you at all since you can alter any statement that I would say. Just so you know, your propaganda video about the LDS church made me laugh. Not because of their beliefs, but because of how you portray them. This is not coming for someone who is part of the LDS church. I am no longer a member, but I still respect what people believe and try to understand it for what it is, instead of slandering it before you understand.

I CANT BELIEVE YOUR CRUELTY!! I JUST READ THE STORY ON YOUR SITE ABOUT YOUR WOMEN AMBUSHING A PENTECOSTAL CHURCH AND ATTACKING THOSE POOR WOMEN!!!! WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT PENTECOSTAL WOMEN AND ALL THE HAIR THEY HAD ON THEM, THAT WAS THE MOST FIERST CRUEL THING EVER. I CANT BELIEVE YOU!! THAT IS NOT TRUE..

CHRIS11188@ao[last letter extracted].com

I'm terribly disterbed at what I recently read on your site about veggie tales. No, not what you think I'm sure. I'm disturbed that you would think that these people are deliberately trying to get our children to put a penis shaped cucumber in their mouth. (And shame on you for your what must be filling you mind!) First of all, you must not have children. Because if you did, you would know that they put everything in their mouth. And because of that there is a choking hazard warning on almost every toy out there. What next? Throw out your cucumbers from the fridge because they look a little suspicious when the kids eat them, or maybe the pickles. I'm sorry, but you truely have gone a little off the deep end. Of all the toys out there for you to take on (BRATZ, Barbie, ect) you chose this. And as far as them "watering down" the bible, it is being put into terms that they may understand. If the parents don't take the time to sit down with their children as they grow to explain that St Peter isn't an asparagus, then shame on them. Pick a real issue to fight or move on please. (Maybe removing smut from prime time tv.)

God Bless,

Jamie

i would just like you guys to know that you are some messed up motherfuckers and if i ever meet any of you i will personally beat the living shit out of you

Hello, Some years ago (too many to remember) a post was made under my name and is being picked up by Google. I honestly can’t remember what the post was a reply to, but please remove it or simply change my name to [EXTRACTED]. Every time anyone searches for my name on the internet, your mailbag is the first thing that comes up. I found this because a current employer, my parents, a girlfriend and others called me about it. I am sure many other people have the same issue. I was probably about 16 or so at the time and I believe this to be irrelIivent by now. I am referring to a post under my name located at the following location: [extracted]

Congratulations on your report on the nintendo Wii.....You ignorant fuck....Its times like this where i begin to resent American Neo christianity more than ever, Just because your pathetic little closed off mind cannot comprehend the thought that something created by a race that isnt american isnt the DEVILS WORKINGS!!!! Its a games console.....nothing more......so a few girls used the controllers vibrating function to pleasure them selves.....it doesnt make them evil or sinners....it makes them human!!!!! As for sending them to a dementia camp? If i ever come into contact with you a garauntee you'll be meeting your lord alot faster than you excpeted, Only, when he judges you for all the pain and bullshit youve caused innocent people....i'll see you in hell..... P.S. Millions of people own a nintendo Wii, By publishing an article stating that the controller can be used as sex toys you have inspired millions of people to FUCK THEMSELVES WITH THEM!!!!!!!!! Enjoy That Thought....maybe you could use one on you favourite choir boy. So to summarise take your head out of deeply mistaken anus and stop being a sexist, racsist and abusive insult to the meaning of christianity. Yours truley

Jennifer Stoddard

Dear Pastor, I am writing out of concern, though I do believe my email will be received into unwilling hands and fall on deafened ears. While your dedication to our great God and Savior is compelling, I have seen some content that you may not be aware of, that is not of the Lord. The statement "Landover Baptist - Unsaved Not Welcome" - did not our Lord command us at the Great Commission to reach out to the lost? Did He not spend most of His time on earth with the sick, the damned, and the criminals, ministering to them? Yet I see nowhere on this site that this is practiced by your congregation. I sincerely hope with all hope that I am mistaken, and that you do have ministries and opportunities for your people to reach the lost for Christ.

Secondly, the ads that are on your site are appalling. "Sexy Love Offerings" - is this for real? "God told me to hate you"? "Abstinence makes the church grow fondlers"? "Who would Jesus bomb"? "Just because God loves to kill babies doesn't give you permission (quoting Hosea)"? "Unsaved and loving it"? And your beliefs pages isn't much better; in fact it is an abomination to our Heavenly Father.

In summary, I find myself hoping your site is a joke, and even if it was, I cannot say with certainty it would make it any more acceptable or less offensive. I am refraining from judging, as there is but One God and One Judge, and to Him we must all give an answer. I will say however, that I do hope you and your people will seriously reconsider the content of this site and - if in practice - these unbiblical beliefs. It deeply hurts our Lord Jesus to be represented and shamed in the way you have shamed Him. I am very saddened as well, by what I saw, and I will be praying for you and your people. I do not desire that any should suffer from such actions or beliefs, but that all will have a true conviction and acceptance of God's Infallible Word, for through suggestive ads, misrepresentation of Scripture, and untruths about our Lord may be found, His Word is indeed, as the Bible states, a sharp edged sword, and will continue to stand for all eternity. It also commands that anyone who changes the Word in any way or misrepresents it will join in the Lake of Fire (last few sentences in Revelation). I sadly do not wish this upon you, and plead for you to reconsider what you are promoting. Your site could be a wonderful outreach to the lost, especially in the times we are living in now. It is my sincerest prayer that you too will share this and pray to the Lord, changing whatever He desires you to change with a thankful heart. I am no one - I am but dust, a sinner saved by grace, but He is the eternal God and our gracious Savior, our blessed perfect Lamb that gave Himself up for you and for me.

Lastly, if you do not heed my words, I pray our Lord has mercy on you and all who believe these atrocities, and that once He has removed His faithful ones from the earth, that you who are left behind will remember my words here, as they are written in Christian love for my brethren.

This letter may not be used in a nonrepresentative way of its original content and if quoted must be done in its entirety.

This is a 'sick' website claiming to represent our Lord Jesus Christ. Greater judgement awaits those who blaspheme His worthy course. I hope your organisation repent and truly seek Gods' way of proclaimimg the gospel. Fom London, England
