A Small Sample of Landover Baptist Mail Received December 2004  (unedited and in original form)

Dear Pastor,

I'm writing because a few mistakes in the article: Is Santa Claus, Satan? (A Special Report Concerning the Origin of Santa Claus) on your website.

First, in the article, there's claimed that "Even his last name, "Claus," is Olde English for "hoof-claws". His big devil ego got the better of him when he decided to name his Christmas Anti-Christ after himself. He just moved around the letters in the name, "Satan," into a sonogram and got "Santa." "

You must know, Santa Claus is a degradation of the Dutch word "Sinterklaas". "Sinterklaas" is a degradation of the the Turkish saint: Saint Nicolaas II In The Netherlands, we have a national festivity for this saint (they also have in German). A few centuries ago, people took this tradition to "the new world": Amerika There it became Santa Claus.

What I'm trying to say, is that you claim in the article that a great saint, which raised three boys from the dead, after they were murdered and saved many people at sea, is Satan himself. I'm very shocked at this conclusion.

Yours sincerely, Remco Mangamaster

PS: About the "demon red costume", that's also from Sinterklaas, because his bishop-costume is red.



I don't know who that was that wrote about the Incredibles movie on your website but I think aside from what he thought about the movie, I am just wondering how any God fearing man can make the kind of comments he made about wanting to smack people in the heads and also wanting to smack their children. Jesus is not that kind of person. Did you see Jesus smacking anyone around in the Bible? No!! I think you should be very careful about what you post on your website. We are trying to bring people to Jesus. Not turn them away. And just out of curiosity, I went to see this movie and noticed nothing in the private areas of any of the characters. Why is this person so fixated on this subject? If you ask me, he's the one with the problem. If you want to bring people to Christ you should not be posting articles of hate which this clearly is, but you should be posting articles of love and outreach.

Sincerely,

A Concerned Believer



I JUST WANTED TO TELL YOU THAT THIS IS THE MOST REDICULOUS THING THAT I HAVE EVER READ... ALSO...IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE THAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO WITNESS TO PEOPLE NOT PUSH THEM AWAY..THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE DOING! ALSO.. IT SAYS IN THE BIBLE THAT JEWS ARE GODS CHOSEN PEOPLE..AT THE BOTTOM OF THE WEBPAGE ABOUT THE MOVIE ELF IT SAYS AND I QUOTE "I'd put a week's tithe money a Godly guess that there's a chubby little curly haired Jew behind this whole thing! There always is." ALSO..HOW CAN YOU CONDEMN PEOPLE TO HELL? ARE YOU GOD? CAN YOU TELL ME THAT YOU KNOW WHO WILL GO TO HEAVEN AND WHO WILL GO TO HELL?? IF YOU DO I WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHOS ON THE LIST! IF THIS IS WHAT YOU CALL WITNESSING THEN YOUR VERY WRONG! MY ATHEIST FRIEND GOT ON THAT WEBSITE AND READ IT AND NOW SHE WONT COME TO CHURCH WITH ME ANYMORE BECAUSE SHE THINKS THAT ALL PEOPLE THAT BELIEVE IN GOD ARE LIKE THAT! THAT WHOLE THING THAT YOU WROTE WAS BASICALLY OPPOSITE OF WHAT THE ACTUALLY BIBLE SAYS!jesus is going to burn them all in Hell.HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?? NO, IM SORRY...CHRISTIANS DON’T SAY THAT...SO I WOULD HAVE TO SAY THAT YOU AND YOUR CHURCH IS FAKE..ALL OF IT IS FAKE! I LOVE GOD AND READ THE BIBLE AND GO TO CHURCH..BUT THIS IS JUST TOTALLLY CRAP..DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PEOPLE PROBABLY READ THAT AND DECIDE NOT TO BE CHRISTIANS CAUSE IT SOUNDS REDICULOUS?? A LOT..YOU ALREADY LOST ONE OF MY FRIENDS SOULS DON’T LOSE ANY MORE..TAKE THAT WEBPAGE OFF THE INTERNET FOR GOOD...!

Dear Landover, Dear Pastor of this Church, I just read the disturbing Email that was written about young Martha Evans and i really hope that this email was joke and that you have trully not taken the fingers of this young girl. I am a member of Bethesda Baptist Church and where i come from we would have prayed for the girl and maybe sent her to a doctor or something but going as far as saying that brittney spears is an advocate of satan and has taught the little girl how to do these things just adds to the stupidity of that letter. Your church needs to get in touch with reallity and find out what being a christian is all about. I mean i hope that later was just a joke and that its not really real and that some sad person sent it in. But believe you me i will be praying for you people seriously.

I came across your website and as a Christian and child of God, I was stunned.CHARGING people to be saved....I fear that anyone promoting this website is in terrible danger of going straight to HELL! I will pray for your church, and for the poor people that put trust in the church. God Bless you! You should be ashamed!

I just wanted to let you know that my small nephew was over and was on the computer looking up one of his favorite cartoons, Sponge Bob. Now, we were in the room keeping an eye on him to see what content he was looking up. Making sure he was not going onto any perverted or damaging sites for his age. Now with that said he typed in Sponge Bob into the search engine and clicked on the second link the msn search engine found. Your site came up with your Sponge Bob article. No sooner did he get the page up and moved the mouse over the upside down eyes and nose, he exclaimed “LOOK!” As we looked we could not believe what we saw. An upside down nose and eyes magically turned in to male genitals.

Ok with that said and you know what his e-mail is about, I will let you know how I feel about your sites content in Hunter S. Thompson “Gonzo” Style writing……

And please, hear me out.

You degenerate swine! I cannot believe the balls on you people! I hear about religious organizations complaining to the hilt about adult content should not be viewed by kids under the proper age. And now you have the audacity to blatantly put that type of content on a web site as yours. Remove it at once you hypocritical swine. I would expect this out of the Catholics maybe, but Christ sakes man, do not scare the young people like it is the dark ages. I remember when I was younger and the church I went to tried to tell me that Led Zeppelins song “Stairway to Heaven” played backwards meant stairway to hell. When I became older and wiser and realized that the lead singer wrote the song about his son who had died at a young age, and when played backwards was a Budweiser commercial!! It is this type of stupid shit is why I do not go to church anymore. I find more spiritual solace in jumping out of a plane than going to a church. And as for Sponge Bob, I do not even watch the show! I find it a bit childish. As for your attempt to scare the innocent into believing his face upside down is a dick and balls with no hair, just shows you do have a fetish for the young boys of the world. What is with you religious bastards? It’s fuckers like you are why freaks like Michael Jackson can prowl the world in the fashion that he does, and rally support like he does. I bet if you put John Kerry’s face upside down, you could probably find a cunt when you flash a cursor over it. You pig fuckers make me sick! Hypocritical son-of-a-bitches!

Good Day!
Brett Sorenson

P.S. I am sure you will modify this e-mail to fit your perception of how you can fuck over the world with scare tactics. It worked for Saddam H. of Iraq, but I doubt it will not work for you.

And I did let the proper authorities know of improper content of your site!



This website is SICK! Don't you feel any remorse for having such a website? I really feel sorry for you and who ever follows your beliefs because this website proves that you and the people that go to your church hate God because God is Love not Hate and Evil and this is certainly evil!!!

I hope someone can get this website off the Internet because it is no better than Child Porn Sites!!!

Do unto others as you would want others to do unto you!

I recently read your web page article about Santa Clause actually being Satan, and I quote "Freehold, Iowa - Satan's evil plan has created jobs for hundreds of thousands of old lecherous pedophiles throughout this Godly country every December" Really? Ask yourself these questions: Are the jobs created JUST for pedophiles? Do you not trust the hiring agency to thoroughly examine the people they hire? And is the country as Godly as you think it is? Obviously it isn't, and I can tell you why. These sort of things being sent out into the world through your 'highly respectable, and glorious web page' are the most ungodly thing I have ever laid my eyes on. "These filthy homeless hobos just lay on their urine-stained cardboard beds 11 months out of the year, dreaming of Christmas when they can drunkenly traipse into the warmth of departments stores and have innocent little Christian children sit on their vermin-infested laps." Those SAME "filthy hobos" are the people you are supposed to be reaching out to, bringing them into your lives, and making theirs whole. What happened to that? Also, I have never seen for myself a drunk Santa "traipsing" in any department store. vermin infested laps? Can you honestly sit back in your recliner watching your 32 inch plasma screen, eating your processed food, cursing the lives of all of the "unworthy" people polluting your earth, and BELIEVE that any God would let you into his heaven? God is about love, brotherhood. Not survival of the fittest. You idiots are too blind to see your way out of your high priced sermons and bullshit festival celebrating a God that you know nothing about. Sounds to me like you know more about Satan than you do about the Lord anyway. Rethink your plans for the afterlife you Christian-scum of-the-earth. And by all means, keep on preaching your bullshit day after day, if that is what gets you to heaven in your minds. It'll be a much better place without you anyway.

I have read, over your webpage, and have come to the conclusion that you are not christians. Messiah Jesus said that you shall know them by their fruits (love joy peace patience kindness goodness faith gentleness and selfcontrol) of wich you exhibit none. Your false church is an abomination to God. I feel sorry for you at the day of judgement, because it will be better for a homosexual, lying, blaspheming, murderer, than for you who obviously know the Bible well enough to twist it like the Cohanim did in Jesus' time. Iknow you don't know the word cohanim, because you seem to be uneducated redneck cross burning pagan cousin loving God hating worms. It means pharisee.

As for the rest of your site, I's married to a black woman, and I am white. My child is more beautiful than any of your mongrel mutts. that is because you marry cousins and sisters so you won't have to have a black child. let me educate you real quick. You all have the genes to produce black or chinese looking children. I hope it happens to you, I pray it happens to you.

As for your beleifs, You are an apostate according to the bible. YOu probably don't even beleive that Jesus was God, and you probably will use some lame, inbred excuse such as because he was born a jew, or because he isn't white. Jesus was Black,

How about Moses marrying a white Woman, Moses was black as well. How about the fact that everyone of you poor excuses for human beings are probably related to a black person in your direct line, wich would make you part black, you racist scum.

You are going to hell, and if you come around my family you will be their sooner.

Change your ways people, repent, ask God to forgive you of your sins, and you will be saved, but you will be spit out of his mouth if you stay on your current path.

I stumbled accross your website when I was reserching the practice of hypnosis. I began to wander a bit and I have a few questions about your convictions involving sexuallity.

Let me first start off by saying that, from what I have read, your seem to be a very good leader. I respect that reguardless of what you belive.

My confusion is this. I read on your "banned toys list", that you detest any toy or product that has any sexual connotation whatsoever. Yet you don't find it innapropriate to advertise a "christian thong", complete with a picture of a woman wearing it. Nor do you mind advertising a calander complete with sexually silluettes of beautiful woman (one of which with 2 women, indicating lesbianism). Also, this hypnosis ministry preys on a womans sexuallity: "Richardo's nightclub act lures in the crowds. When he has them wooing him and they are under his suave spell of sexual energy and erotic mystique... " The preceeding was a quote from your website.

If you would be kind enough to write back I would be interested in knowing exactly where you draw the lines...

Stephen Collins



Who the hell do you think you are? I mean, seriously, you preach so god-damn much! You don't deserve to be allowed to communicate with anyone, you and your kind deserve to be locked away and left to starve to death. You expect to be sent to "Heaven" when you die? Hah! I'd like to let you know that there is no such place, and God doesn't exist, the whole idea of Christianity was just made up to scare you into behaving. Did you not realise that? The whole universe is just a coincidence, no "destiny" no "God". And if there was a Heaven? You would not go to it, if you're living by the Bible, doesn't it say "Love thy neighbour"? You love no one but yourself, you arrogant, ignorant, idiotic old fools.

Have a nice day.



I enjoyed reading the information on santa and satan, but as I was closing the page, I noticed that at the top,it says "where the unsaved are not welcome" Are you serious? How will any one ever get saved if they are forbidden to enter the church and hear preaching of God's word. Look up 1Cor 1:21.

God Bless

Ira Buchanan



You guys are sad. Aside from insulting every religion, you have also done many illegal things. If you don't want your precious church shut down by the U.S. government, I suggest you take down all the different offers like the "Fre PS2" thing. But I guess you REALLY want the Feds at your door placing you under house arrest for telling little children to send you money, not including the many parents also claiming that, bringing you to court. By the way, not many people would like how you insult religions, while bringing in a profit. And you say everyone else is going to Hell. Ha.

Adam English



Dear Sir: Your web site is so full of it it makes me sick to my stomach, your so called profiling of wiccans as overwieght, wearing make-up and getting better grades because of spells is just plain stupid and ignorant. I am a professional who works in the medical field, I have two collee degrees and busted my hump for them. I am also a wiccan who is utterly disturbed by your manipulation of the people in your congregation in oder to satisfy your pathetic ego. You may also want to read the 1st ammendment.

James Gerchak



hey, i got a kick out of reading your lucifer's toy chest section. i could not stop laughing. you guys are good at transforming innocent toys into some sort of heinous sex toy. that #### was hella-funny. anyways, i read about the church fining the gillman's or whatever their names are, $5000 for having in their possession a toy from a restricted movie. two questions: 1. are you insane?!? 2. were the gillman's that brainwashed by your lies to actually pay the $5000?!? seems like you guys have a pretty good scam going......

Keith Salmon



you must be possessed by the devil. you have taken sooooooooo many things out of context and God will be so disgusted in you at the judgement day. you have led so many ppl astry. how can you tell ppl they will loose their salvation when the Bible says, no man is able to pluck them from my fathers hands"? you are all about money and i pity any that have fallen under your pitiful curse. straight from the devil. i am saved by the grace of God not by anything i have done. i witness to the unsaved bc that is our great commision. how dare you tell others that if they talk to an unsaved they will be condemned to hell yet they will be fined $200 if they dont witness. contradiction. i cannot express how much i wish you and all your ideas would die. its sickening.. all i can do is pray for the ppl under your care, that they will turn from you.

You know... some of the stuff you sell on your site isnt too bad.. but the Catholic stuff needs to come down. I am a devout catholic.. and I realize that there are some issues with the catholic church... but the media and people like you make it out to be even worse than it already is. If you truly are a decent christian.. you will take that stuff down.

Greetings in Christ,

Ref: http://www.landoverbaptist.org/news0302/blackjesus.html

I have long studied Christology and I happened upon your web site and Pastor Mill's argument with Brother Harry that Jesus was colored. I for one affirm and praise Pastor Mill's for his rare courage to speak the truth. Both scripture and science have proved this fact beyond doubt. This begs the question where discernment is concerned if Brother Harry was educated in an objective, all-inclusive theological seminary, or were his studies censored by the esoteric Baptist philosophy?...

Rather than embracing Pastor Mill's argument, Brother Harry made virulent criticisms of him (which is certainly not Christian like). The mere fact Pastor Mill's was suspended and that the ethnicity of Jesus was prohibited from being publicly discussed by the one Landover Baptist Church was not acting on behalf of or devotional interest to Christ, rather Brother Harry's and his cronies bigoted ideas. As far as I'm concerned Landover Baptist Church is the epitome of the Deity of Christ, a disgrace. It is no wonder the Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) has fallen and left the Baptists spiritually fragmented people. President Jimmy Carter, who is by far a Disciple of Christ if I ever saw one, abandoned the Baptist Church, yet in light of the error of your ways you are unrepentant, turning your backs on the virtues for which Jesus, the black prophet of mankind stood for. Ignorance was never the way to Jesus, and Idealism was what Jesus abhorred. Brother Harry, not Pastor Mill's stands in contempt, and Pastor Mill's surely is loved by Jesus and it is he, not Brother Harry - (a Baptist Bigot who's form of worship is Idolatry and false Gods), that is not saved and thus not welcomed in the Deity of Christ. You are only kidding yourselves, not the intellectuals and practical theologists that understand Jesus for who he really [was}. You are within your right to believe as you wish, bear in mind however, you DO NOT speak for Jesus, but of your gross ideology and primitive philosophy. Don't shew words of hate from your lips and claim they come from that of the lips of Jesus. Be honest and say, it is your opinion it is just that. Be intelligible and agree to disagree. Most discerning people I know, do. Last but not least, Jesus (or maybe you'd recognize Him by Yeshua ben Nazareth), His real name is the only head of the Church; hence, who is Landover [Church] to oust Pastor Mills? If that's your "Doctrine" so be it, claim it as so, but don't speak to say it is that of the Deity of Christ. You know better and I know better. And if you don't, than Landover Baptist is the "religious identity" for you i.e.the sand box for the status quo to play in.

I wish you the mercy of Jesus and the grace of deliverance from your vain preaching and corruption of organized religion.

In Christ,

Rev. John P. O'Brien, D.D.
Pastoral Counselor



I would be interested in hearing more of your distinctly un-christian views on the 'unsaved'.
I have been a lay vicar in English cathedrals for the last 4 years and a member of the Church Of England since I was 6 and frankly I find some of the opinions displayed on your website to be pathetic and bigoted.
yours in interest,
Tom Brimelow


This is the most appalling web site that I have seen on the internet. Who could say that they love the Lord and put anything out such as this to be seen by the public? Jesus Christ is God of all and invites ALL to come to Him! You say UNSAVED NOT WELCOME at your church? How did any of you get there??Since we were all born in sin and shapen in iniquity? I pray you will all repent and be saved before it is too late!

More About Your Ministry Please!

Today I stumbled upon your Bible diet quiz. As I was taking this quiz the most offensive thing happened. I chose a wrong answer. the pop up screen then stayed. "WRONG! YOU UNSAVED MORON." I can not tell you how disappointing this is.

1. You used parts of scripture to acquire your information for this test.
2. You judged everyone whom chose an incorrect answer.
3. The Bible clearly has instruction on calling anyone a fool.
Matthew 5:22
And whoever says to his Brother Raca!( a term of insult) shall be in danger of council. But whoever says " YOU FOOL" shall be in danger of hell fire. as you can see the scripture is in red denoting that it was spoken from Jesus my saviors mouth
Reca means to use a term or insult. To call a man stupid, fool or moron. (definition down sized) It comes from the Vine's complete Expository Dictionary. ref. #878,453,3474,801. Through my research you can clearly see that I am neither a fool nor a moron. But I do stand before you guilty of not knowing the diets of the Bible. This is what led me to your website to begin with.
This kind of error is what taints Us Christians. We should be the ones to set the standard for the environment around us. Not add to its deterioration. I end this now with forgiveness. I forgive you for the insult. And can rest assured that this message will be removed from your website. Not because of me But by the prompting of the Holy Spirit himself. Forgive me if this has come off harsh in any form or fashion. That was not my intent.
In Christ Jesus our Savior
Debbie Wence.



This has got to be the worst web sit I have ever been to. I'm a Christain just like you, I go to church on Sundays and Wensdays. I know the way of Jesus. But this is just to far. Burning books. All you are is a group of bored Christians who think that they have found a way to say God's word. If you want to make a difference go to Africa and teach the way of Christ. But book burning? J.K. Rowling is not trying to be God, but if you keep thinking that she wants to be then you're to blame. You are the problem. And if you say that all you are trying to do is have a little free speech then that's all that J.K. Rowling is trying to do. And if you would think for one second then you might find out that to burn the books you have to buy them, if you buy the books then that would give money to J.K. Rowling and giving money to J.K. Rowling would encourge her to write more.
