There are a number of christian sites on the web that are truly depressing such as City Data, but I found one that even CARM doesn't hold a candle to, when I was doing an online search for something

http://www.landoverbaptist.net/?

Here is one of their threads on universalism

People who don't believe in hell are mean, cruel, and evil!

How ironic that we are the ones that are classified as monsters :thumbdown:  :dontknow: :omg:

Update - I got banned without a reason and without even posting anything :icon_flower:

The scary thing is I've seen fundies on the net that think like them, so I thought it was the real thing at first, I feel like such a fool for being taken in :mblush:

I just took a look at it and I was going to say that, too.  Those people aren't Christians--they are mocking Christianity.  "Guaranteeing salvation since 1620"

What a bunch of religious hogwash some of these sites are, how far out can some of these places get anyway?

Ever read anything about what Fred Phelps
preaches?

Yes, I found out about the Phelps at the beginning of last year, I did not however expect to find that that's what orthodox christianity looks like, once it's stripped of all it's disguises and lies

Which is why I thought the site was genuine at first, as I've seen that type of mindset prevalent in many christian sites and forums
