Last summer I stumbled upon a website I thought was a Christian website, and to my horror--in the beginning--I believed it was. Turns out it is a satirical website making fun of Christians, laughing at Jesus, and mocking God, in an effort to turn people away from Jesus. It twists around Scripture, tells sinners that God hates them, and mocks Jesus Christ and Christians in every way. Some might believe it is a great site--that it helps reveal the undergirders of fake Christianity, or that it is good in the sense of satirizing the "institutions of churchianity." Maybe it is, and seen in this light, it can definitely be a great witness. But the site isn't out there to satirize in a "good way", and that point is very clear when you go to the website; it's not there to help Christians, but to alienate and gouge them. It has turned many people against Jesus, and seekers are being repelled. In my eyes--and in the eyes of many--it is a website that is to be shut down, ignored, or protested against--give them all the rights of freedom of speech, but use our rights as well!
