How to Spot Atheists and Report Them to the FBI

"I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God."
-President George Bush

1. This Is Satire - Look At The Rest Of The Page

eom

[DBoon]

2. Isn't Landover a satire site?

Meant to be an over-the-top parody?

Not that reality frequently surpasses satire.

[drb]

3. You do know that Landover Baptist is a spoof site, right?

[Kool Kitty]

6. And a damn good one.

But isn't this quote from Poppy Bush? I seem to remember these words being credited to Bush the First (seriously).

[Langis]

9. Yep it's a real quote from Poppy!

Sherman: Surely you recognize the equal citizenship and patriotism of Americans who are Atheists?

Bush: No, I don't know that Atheists should be considered as citizens, nor should they be considered patriots. This is one nation under God.

Sherman (somewhat taken aback): Do you support as a sound constitutional principle the separation of state and church?

[Kool Kitty]

10. Thanks, Langis, you're a champ.

;-)I knew it. Sometimes the truth is more bizarre than any parody.

[DRoseDARs]

11. Just did a quick search for the quote and got this...

http://bennyhills.fortunecity.com/hardy/203/nonbeliever/page50.html

When George Bush was campaigning for the presidency, as incumbent vice president, one of his stops was in Chicago, Illinois, on August 27, 1987. At O'Hare Airport he held a formal outdoor news conference. There Robert I. Sherman, a reporter for the American Atheist news journal, fully accredited by the state of Illinois and by invitation a participating member of the press corps covering the national candidates had the following exchange with then Vice President Bush.

4. OK, that has to be a joke

it's ridiculous

[AwakeAtLast]

5. According to that website, I am an Atheist

When in actuality, I am a Christian. Guess they can't spot 'em so well, eh?

[GoodSpud]

7. Landover IS a spoof site but...

The quote is a paraphrase of a quote from G. H. W. Bush.

Still scary.

T.D.P.

20. Exactly!!!

OMG, I am dying here :D

[BiggJawn]

13. Betty Bowers Bags Another one....

GOTCHA!

That's a hell of a site, eh?

[Cooley Hurd]

16. The best parody...

...is parody that is so subtle that it tricks you into believing it's real - the crew behind Landover Baptist Church are truly the masters of it!

So close to Jesus, we share a joint checking account...

14. If you hate Bush is that one sign that you are an Atheists?

Church and State and Bush doesn't mix.

[fujiyama]

15. That quote from daddy Bush

Just reconfirms my notions that this family is completely EVIL. Fuckers...Daddy Bush down...trying to create a Taliban like theocratic state.

[Fear]

19. I spoke with one of the guys once who runs Landover

Hes very cool..speaks at conventions on the seperation of church and state issues..
The guys who started Landover were kicked out of Jerry Falwell's college because they were gay.
Verily, I say unto you, they are very very very good at parody.
Hurrah for them. Landover is a parody, if you click on the Americhrist link at the bottom.
