Landover Baptist Mail Received
November 2001 (unedited and in original form)
hello, im a freshmen student and i cant stand the series. i mean some
fantasy books are ok, and some are horrible, but most are written for the
"older" kids. but I read a chapter of harry potter in a disney adventure
magazine and i cant believe how evil it is. i mean it makes the lord of
the rings look heavenly! and the main character has a devil sign
on his fore head. what will teachers think when kids go around drawing
devil signs, thinking they are drawing the harry potter symbol... well
i believe in boycotting harry potter so thank you for standing against
putting satanic literature on children's book shelves.
I received the link to your site from a friend who told me I would
be stunned. He was right. I am shocked that members of the Homo sapiens
species can be this utterly STUPID! After reading the filth on this site,
I am ashamed to be of the same species as you. You call the world
blind but it is you who are hiding your eyes from the truth. Do you honestly
not see that you are of the same ilk as the wretched excuses for human
beings that commit acts of terrorism? Or are you simply trying your hardest
to convince the rest of us that you are good people so you can convince
your selves? You think you are the only people of value in this world,
that all others are below you at best, evil in many cases. That is the
height of arrogance, and ignorance. It is people like you who are responsible
for the problems of this world. I have much more to say on this topic,
however to iterate it before an audience of such sub standard intellect
is simply a waste of time. To make the point short, I find you and people
like you offensive, moronic and I hold you (by “you” I mean all religious
fanatics, after all that’s what you are, fanatics) responsible for most
of the problems we face as a world. You make me sick.

Dear Sir or Madame:
I recently stumbled across your website whilst surfing on the
net. I, as a God-fearing Christian find it very offensive. Your site is
a horrible joke! It does not properly depict the true beliefs of Christians.
What you have there is very slanderous to all Christians. At the very least
it is false advertisement. I will be contacting the Christian Coalition
in a matter of moments, in hopes to ban your website. Just think to yourselves
how many people your site may turn away from learning the truth about the
word of God. I at first thought the website was for a real church. If not
for the text at the bottom that says "parody" I wouldn't have ever known
it is fake. You are fooling people with this. It is a serious matter. May
God help you.
Sincerely,
Matthew Pierce
I am writing you this email because I just visited your website, LandoverBaptist.org.
I have never come across such a hateful, ungodly website in my life. At
first, I though it must be a parody, a joke.....but as I read further,
I realized it was a church website. Unlike any church I have ever
encountered. What drew me was the Harry Potter article. Concerning this
subject, I believe the parents of every child need to decide for
themselves whether or not to read these books. These books however, are
not Satanic. They include a very imaginative story written
by a woman in England, who is not a Satanist. Every child has an imagination.
You will never stop kids from dreaming up stories of being heroes,
or flying. What we as Christians must do, is teach them how
to keep these dreams in line. As for your children acting strange, there
is probably more of a discipline problem, then a "Harry Potter" problem.
As for your disgusting banner at the top of your website stating in
large letters "UNSAVED UNWELCOME"......that is not even biblical. It's
amazing how your church has grown to 125,000 members. Were they all saved
when they came to the church? If so, I doubt your credibility. You
state that you take the whole bible in its entirety....what about the
parable of the good samaritan.....what if the good samaritan had left that
man on the side of the road just because he was "unsaved?"
Instead of your church trying to infiltrate other believers with your
nonsense, I believe it is other believers who need to correct you on YOUR
theology.
Having been a born-again christian all my life, and having seen many
unsaved walk into our church and become a believer, transforming
their life, becoming a strong christian.....I must disagree with your statement.
I don't believe God will bless your "ministry"---if we must call it that.
Jesus would NEVER turn his back on the unsaved. He died for those
people who you will not welcome, the gang member, the prostitute, the druggie,
the homosexual. No, I don't agree with the lifestyles these people
lead, but how can you people, calling yourselves Christians, harden
your hearts against them? You may be their only chance to know
Christ, you may be the only living example they ever see, and
you would turn them away! I am sorry I ever tripped onto your website.
It angers me, it infuriates me....but yet, everyone is entitled to
their opinion, their faith....it sickens me though, that people could
accidentally plug into your website and take it for truth! You do
not teach the truth.
I hope everyone of your 23 pastors (or however many you have there)
reads this. I hope something changes in their hearts. I am
going to pray for the deacons and pastors of your church. That they
would all see the truth. That they would be empassioned for the lost.
That they would welcome the unsaved with open arms.
I created this email address specifically for mailing this email.
I will never look at it again, nor will I ever respond to any email sent
to me. I simply want you to know that your theology is wrong. It
is unbiblical. And I believe you will find that out when some of
you may be left behind. I say that because it sounds like you people
are caught up in legalism instead of having a personal relationship with
Jesus Christ, who died upon the cross for our sins, who rose again on the
third day, and who will one day rapture his church from this earth.I pray
that you all have experienced a saving knowledge of Christ, but if you
haven't, I urge you to throw out the ungodly, untruth that you are spreading.
What will happen when others want to burn YOUR books? Your bible?
Your teacher's guides? If you are so against "Harry Potter," maybe you
should pray for the author instead of burning her books. She's a
millionaire. Burning hundreds of her books is hurting no one. You
can't change what she writes. You also can't sensor what people read. I
pray that no one ever sees your website, and mistakes it for the truth.

Hello, I am a young christian woman by the name of Ashley, and I would
like to comment on a story I read on your site. This story has to do with
the movie Monsters that was created by Disney. I would like to personaly
say that the pastor who said those things about the main charactor being
a testicle is a highly sick man. I do not see a testical. I see a green
circular figure with eyes, ears, legs, arms, and a mouth. God forbid anything
to be drawn in a circular form because the dear old pastor and his sick
mind might think it looks like one of his testicles. It disturbes me to
even think that a pastor could even think about things as sick as what
him/you whoever said. He sounded like an immiture teenager saying, "oh
my look at those baseballs, they remind me of testicles. It is funny how
a preacher can preach about not judging people, but he himself judges whomever
he chooses. Obviously I am more mature than the priest who said the awful
things in the article. It is disgusting to even think that a priest could
watch a movie (that had no attention of sexual meanings at all) and say,
" oh oh oh look, that monster looks like a testicle, I wonder if it is
going to dance on its sperm." It is a very disgusting thought that one
of Gods people, who chose to spread the word, can sit there and tell stories
about how bad a Disney film is because he thinks something looks like what
it totally did not intend to be. I hope right now the man who said those
things is reading this right now and knows that I think less of him right
now, but who am I to judge. Even though by the sound of his great, big,
wild.... imagination (what do you think I was going to say you sicko) that
he is the one who enjoyed the thought of a testicle, he is the one who
probably masterbates over the distugting thoughts that he so happend to
know Disney was try to create in our minds. I would like to say what a
very unholy man he is for making wrongful and disgustion alligations on
behalf of a non-harmful animated film, for the pleasures of kids to enjoy
in a fun family way, not in the kind of way the "demon pastor" thought
of it

Hi brothers in Christ,
I read about Mr.
Frenzo’s hypnotism outreach and I am wondering how I may get in touch
with him. I am currently in Westchester county NY and wondered if I was
close to your church.
Please contact me at the above e-mail.
God bless.

First off George Lucas is not a pervert you are and who ever thinks
these toys are sex related are perverted as well. Take
a good look at the tongue of this "Sex Toy" and a good look at the
genitalia of an aroused man the two look nothing alike which means that
the parents claiming that George lucas is a pervert are perverted them
selves and they probably have dirty magazines laying around the house somewhere
and the childrewn found them and looked through them. You say that
our children might or have started asking sick questions we would not even
dream of how would they know these questions unless they have actually
read dirty magazines. Do some research on these people and find out
how many of the do have dirty magazines or maybe their friends parents
have them and the children just got churious. Do the research before
you make the accuzations. If you do or did not then you are the true
perverts. If you have a problem with what I am saying than tough
shit ass hole

Thank you for exposing seeker friendly, ultra-tolerant "Christianity".
Yes, much of your scriptural use lacks cultural and linguistic hermeneutics,
but the thrust of your articles has a truer picture of the Biblical God
than most modern churches. You think you have a lot of questions, but I
bet you have no answers. All your theories and assertions must be based
on a liberal world view and come from an autonomous mind that cannot account
for reason, mathematics, equality, induction, motion, and morality. If
you have any answers I challenge you to a dialogue. Most liberals are afraid
of the truth, so I will not hold my breath.Breathing freely in Vegas,

Are you aware of what you are spreading? It is known that your organisation
isn't a church at all but some diabolic and insaine organisation, I will
press charges against you in court, this is not normal to do, projecting
as a church like this. You are blaspheming the Name of our Lord.
You will hear from my lawyer very soon.

created by the media jews and fags. They dont know THEY ARE THE ONES SPREDING
LIES!!!!!THey say you are just trying to make fun ofo real Christians but
I now that you are doing GODS work and you shoukld be proud of your community
and the work you do. GOD go with you.

Santa is Latin for saint, i.e, Satan Maria, Santa Domingo... (see Websters
Dictionary)
Claus is the Germanic route for Klaus, i.e, a proper noun, a common
name to this day; hence; Saint Klaus. There is no Olde
English derivative for 'hoof-claws.' You or someone else made that
up. The story/legend is of a poor man who organized townspeople into taking
in homeless children during a famine.
By spreading dogma that is inacurate and the result of impetuous conversational
fabrication and misconception, the result is the deliberate delivery of
mis-information which is misleading and confounds the body of Christ into
confusion and doubt. A significant portion of modern exodus from
Churches like yours is the direct result of mis-information, which the
listener/reader knows in his/her spirit to be untrue. You mislead
the body of Christ because you get impetuous about misconceptions - a focus
on self absorbtion (arrogance, self-centered, a general lack of concern
and acountability for your words and actions).
If your concern is 'Satan' (which you also misconceive as an individual
entity; a myth generated in an epic poem 'Paradise Lost' by John Milton)
- you should therefore be concerned about serving up deception and/or mis-information
for the purposes of confounding the Church, or your immediate listener/reader.
If you say or write something, keep in mind that you are acountable for
the content of what you say or write.
Take your time and do some genuine, bonafied research for a change.
Here is an interesting starting place, a bibliography that can start
you thinking clearly - so that you can speak/write with acountability:
(all are easily available at amazon.com; academic texts which are peer
reviewed)

I do not believe in any thing you would ever call god and you for this
reason hate me, yes I say hate because if you would wish to put someone
into eternal sufferings for not believing the way you do that is ludicrous!
you have warped and twisted the teachings and ideas behind what Jesus and
other religious figures intended. words fail me at a time like this.
now days people are running around in terror over anthrax and terrorism
yet they do not realize the real danger is people like you, and the ideas
that http://www.landoverbaptist.org/ promotes: closed mindedness, Semitism,
and racist comments. you are far worse then any terrorist because
you are the ones whom create the hatred that fostered the previous events.
you come wearing a guise of good will and you bring only death and haltered.
You are worse then Hitler, you want to not only BAN but BURN books that
point out the true flaws in your ideas. your views make no since, one place
you says "The Talented Mr. Ripley: Fine Christian Fare" and yet you try
to say stone disobedient children! DID YOU EVEN SEE THE FUCKING MOVIE!
I seriously doubt so, its about an insane murdering person who does anything
to be liked!.... oh wait now I remember when I've seen this.... yeah it
was on YOUR PAGE! you try to be liked but you no one wants you around!
I say lets not drop pork on Muslims lets drop you insane people. we don't
want you, they don't want you, maybe you will be lucky enough to just die
in the fall. but on a more fundamental level, have you actually ever
considered taking your head outa your ass and thinking for yourselves for
once! if you ever actually bothered you would be astonished to find you
look like a bunch of blithering idiots. I would rather die then to
ever sink down to your level and your sheer stupidity boggles the mind.
get a god dammed clue and shut the fuck up!

You guys are sick! THat is the most repulsive understanding of
Christianity i have ever heard. You guys are wrong in EVERYTHING
you say, you can't claim to be Christians, because you're not even close.
You are a disgusting, hateful cult that needs to stop hiding under the
blanket of Christianity. You guys need some serious help, because
that is the sickest thing I've ever read. You talk about sex lives
and the age of masterbation, and worse, and then tell nonbelievers to go
away, because they're going to hell. Then you say you're Christian.
Did you completely ignore the Bible? Did you get Eminem to design
this page? And have you noticed how many people are upset with page?
Take a hint, you guys are incredibly WRONG! Spreading this garbage
is worse than being a demon-possessed sinner. You guys have condemned
yourselves.

You should read the bible a little more and checking out your information
which is totally wrong. Only people can make something bad when Santa
is meant to be good I mean the real Santa (Saint Nicholas). It would
be a good idea to check him out and to know what Santa is all about.
For Saint Nicholas is a christian and started one of the first christian
churches and so Santa claus would also be a christian, because they are
the same person. Some facts of Santa maybe a little different to
make christmas fun for children, but Santa is very much real and knows
what christmas really is. God would be proud of him. Satan
can be anything that people make it too be. Those people who dress
up in Santa suits who come from run down homes are just poor soles who's
lives have been ruined for various of reasons such as unemployment.
It is parents duty to take children to places like malls tha! t hire within
the company and to stay with the child to supervise. Just read the
bible a little more, because your facts are all wrong.

I found this website blasphemous when in search of a real church.
If this is a real website referencing a real church, then God have mercy
on your souls. And if this is a hoax, it seems as though you efforts in
constructing such a blasphemous site would be better spent elsewhere -
perhaps in trying to learn what Christianity really is about instead of
trying to reduce it to a hobby.MTaylor167
I am appalled to see what lies have taken over you Harry
Potter page. This is what your closing sentence was...
Note to all Concerned Parents: We have it on good Godly authority that
the 4th book in the series will reveal that the main character, "Harry
Potter" actually KILLED HIS PARENTS! with a butcher knife! If this isn't
enough to raise the hair on your neck, then you need revival!
This is a lie, how could you act with such childlike behaviour Have
you read the book? If you have you will be happy to know that it is
still stated that Lord Voldemort accidenty killed Harry's parents in a
fight to find Harry.
I request you take out such appalling lies!

this is to pastor deacon fred - if i could slap you for every time
you made a dumb comment you would most likely be unconscious. how can you
sit up there and say that people who speak using slang are living the lifestyle
of an "negroe" and preach about it using the supposedly "Godly perspective"?
you do not deserve to be in the position of teaching other christians let
along any other people. if you had any intelligence what so ever you would
know that all types of people who communicate strictly by using slang are
uneducated. i wish you would take that bs you are talking about to the
nearest "ghetto" so you would get stomped like a sour grape. what you need
to do is lock yourself in a bathroom, sit on the toilet, and wait until
all your human waste thoughts and beliefs drain out of your megalomaniac
body. God has no room for sheeps in wolves clothing so get your mind right
and reevaluate your judgments

To whom it may concern,
Prov 26:5
5 Answer a fool according to his folly, lest he be wise in his own
conceit.
Prov 14:9
9 Fools make a mock at sin:
KJV
Gal 6:7
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked:
I am sure that you think that you are being hysterical, but my friend,
you are treading in an area that is dangerous to your soul. I know
by your words that you are the type right now that is smiling and talking
to your screen saying things like- "Close minded 'idiot'!" or how about-
"Self-righteous 'jerk'!" My friend, I am neither, but it doesn't
take a space scientist or a theologian to see that you are greatly deceived,
and now acting out in blasphemous ways. I do not know what made you
so bitter, but I want to warn you, please do not allow an act or acts of
someone else to damn you to a literal hell. Jesus died for you to
save you, not so that you could have a little web site that mocks His holy
name. I realize that you may write me a scathing response, but I
had to tell you the truth, even if it is not received...but I hope that
you will consider what you are doing.

Hello. I would like to know where the information for the
article about the Christian Star Trek Captain was found. So far I have
not found the article to be very fitting to the reality of the show.
