Are Mommy and Daddy Terrorists?

The Center for Rational Debate website has a page called Kids' Corner.
Quote:
If you want to make sure that your parents aren't terrorists, follow this simple checklist, and ask yourself if your parents do any of these things:

1) Do they seem excessively concerned about the environment?
2) Do they say bad things about President Bush, the Iraq War, Republicans, or conservatives?
3) Do they seem excessively concerned about poverty or poor people?
4) Are they friends with any flamboyant homosexuals?
5) Have they ever told you that gay people are okay?
6) Do they say bad things about Jesus or Christianity?
7) Do they praise Mohammed or Islam?

If you said "yes" to any of the questions above, your parents are probably terrorists. Now is not the time to panic. Report them to the FBI and the Department of Homeland security before they find out that you've been to this website and kill you. If you do this quickly enough, the FBI and the Department of Homeland Security can step in and save your life.
Believe it or not, there is actually more at the link.

What a bunch of crap. I can't believe that's meant to be taken seriously.

My guess is that it is a joke and I really hope I'm right.

How did you become so wise? How do you stay so rational all the time?

-Does a good painter "try" to paint? Does God "try" to be good? Does a writer "try" to write? No, of course not. A painter doesn't "try" to paint, he simply paints. In a similar fashion, I don't "try" to be rational; I simply am.
Edit- It is a joke

From: Luke

Dear Jesus,

If people who don't believe in you and God are so wrong, why don't you just burn them alive? Or have some magical horses come in and rip them apart? Lethal injection is fun! Or you could pick them up and throw them off a cliff. Maybe you could put them all in a hole and take control of a missile and nuke them. Anyways, just wanted to know why they aren't dead yet.


Your local Anti-Atheist,
Me


PS: You could also have an Atheist convention on a ship and ram their ship into an iceberg.worked pretty well for the Titanic.


Jesus Responds:

It is obvious that you have been reading your bible. Scripture states quite clearly that the only thing that calms God's uncontrollable rage is the sight of severed heads:

Numbers 25:4
"And the LORD said unto Moses, 'Take all the heads of the people, and hang
them up before the LORD against the sun, that the fierce anger of the
LORD may be turned away from Israel.'"
If God decapitated people himself, it would eliminate the need for faith. Feel free to massacre some atheists. Hopefully you'll kill enough of them to calm God down. Otherwise, look forward to more Hurricane Katrinas and 9/11s.

Your pal,
Jesus

You can pretty much bet it's a left-wing cornholer that came up with that shit.

Pretty funny. Sites like this that are hard core right-wing are no different than the hard core left-wing sites. Both are full of shit. Both pander to their target audience. Both tell half-truths and outright lies to get readership and hits. And people who like to read that crap get off on it. Nothing new in the world of the net. And the beat goes on...

The part that gave it away for me was the very end
"...before they find out that you've been to this website and kill you."


C'mon people. OK admit it - who didn't have their coffee before posting?

Nothing new to the world of publishing/printing/new media etc. It's political satire, it has a very long tradition.
