I at first thought this had to be a parody site...but after looking around I was not so sure. Does anyone know if thes guys are real Christian wackos...or just people making fun of how nuts such wackos are?

It does look like a fun site rather then a serious 'educational' one. Unless it's supposed to be serious but done by someone who's not a very good web page maker.
I tried to do a search on that guy but nothing important came up. So I tend to think it's a joke. Well, it is a joke in any case, lol.

This site looks like its part of the same site as in the "Mac-computer, part of an antichristian conspiracy?" thread in Conspiracy Forum. I believe it's a parody.
(I really, really hope it's a parody.)

This site reeks of Dr. Dino. I've seen this xtian pulp before. Think these people have been linked to his site.
It's true-blue fundie wacko stuff.
Here's a bit more from the site...
Check out this page dedicated to closing down the Landover Baptist satire
site....
http://207.67.219.101/objective/index.html
Excerpts from other pages.......
-"Bazooka Jesus", one of the many quality Christian evangelical candies
available commercially. (Click to enlarge photo.)
-Halloween Outreach - Keep the porch light on and expose the darkness by
sharing the light! Offers an assortment of witnessing cards for handing out
that have a place to attach candy. They also offer a magazine with tips on
how to "treat and tell" and prayerwalking.
-Share your faith with carved vegetables.
-Malls Of The Damned
Shoppers deluded by Secular Consumerism wandering a mall in a futile search
for spiritual fulfillment.
"Darth Maul": Commercialized symbol of evil whose name sounds like "mall".
Coincidence?
J.C. Penny - The J.C. makes us think of Jesus Christ, thus associating our
Lord with the lowest monetary value, the penny (even Judas valued Him at 30
pieces of silver!).
Sears - What the flesh of the damned does in Hell. It also sounds like
"seers", Pagan mystics who engaged in occult premonitions.
-assorted 2001 Creation Science Fair Projects...
Patricia Lewis displays her jar of non-living material, still non-living
after three weeks.
1st Place: "Life Doesn't Come From Non-Life"
Patricia Lewis (grade 8) did an experiment to see if life can evolve from
non-life. Patricia placed all the non-living ingredients of life - carbon (a
charcoal briquet), purified water, and assorted minerals (a multi-vitamin) -
into a sealed glass jar. The jar was left undisturbed, being exposed only to
sunlight, for three weeks. (Patricia also prayed to God not to do anything
miraculous during the course of the experiment, so as not to disqualify the
findings.) No life evolved. This shows that life cannot come from non-life
through natural processes.
"Mousetrap Reduced To Pile Of Functionless Parts" - Kevin Parker (grade 7)
"Dinosaur & Man Walked Together" - Donny Findlay (grade 6)
"Rocks Can't Evolve, Where Did They Come From Mr. Darwin?" - Anna Reed
(grade 6)
2nd Place: "Pine Cones Are Complicated"
David Block and Trevor Murry (grades 4) showed how specifically complicated
pine cones are and how they reveal God's design in nature.
========
On and on and on.....
Amazing! If ever there's a site that's a characterization of itself, this is
it. I did a google search of a few of the "experts". The site seems
legit. Plenty of wacko fundie zipperhead stuff for sure. The manure is pile
high and deep so put on your cyber chest waders.

Randy: I googled the expert's alleged university, and came up blank. I think it's a parody hoax.

If they are parodies, they are parodies of hoaxes. Both were silly. Having, in the past, read a few stuff by fundies, it looks like authentic fundie ignorance.
Fundies are almost like members of another species -- perhaps the phony Piltdown Man coming to life?

I think this is so close to being real that it's humor is somewhat like an exceptionally dark comedy. You just have to look at it a certain way to see it. For one, how proud the Landover folks would be to see this much effort going into their demise! I think this is reality taken 2 notches towards the absurd.

Religious fanaticism run-amuck with a pc in it's lap.
This is the beauty of a extreme fundie site, it blurs the line between itself and satire. :-)
Don't know, pretty crazy stuff here - there, and all over. I noticed the links on the bottom of the Creation page,
http://207.67.219.101/objective/dinosaurs.html
and there it is, one of the major league fundie liars, the multi-headed Dr. Dino - Kent Hovid.
Crapola loves company.
To me, these sites show the incredibly desperate measures some fundies will
go to. To be a normal xtian, I suppose, one HAS to believe in equally bizarre stuff, as we know, - 900 year old people,
walking on water, life after death, old-grey-bearded man omnipresent.
Sounds like a Star Wars movie minus the techno-gadgets.
Just keep in mind of similar-minded fundie wackos and their bizarre creation science agenda to replace the "godless"
evolution in our public schools. AND they have succeeded to some extent.
I swear, religion is a form of mental illness.

Yes...it is the same site. I think sombody saw the post on the Conspiracy Forum and alerted me to the site. I was baffled by it and posted on here to see if anyone knew anything about it (not aware it was already on the other forum).
((I really, really hope it's a parody.)
Me to.
I am guessing it is the Landover people doing this. If you read the progress report on the shutdown landover baptist section. The links to Landover Baptist stuff are awful promenant. And it does kind of read like satire on much of that section at least.

Like thoes faith healers on TV, they put their hand on someones forehead, the person falls back and then starts yelling 'I'm cured.' It is funny to see it but remember THEY do believe it. As you guys said, the line it blurd and it depends on which side you are on as to wheather it's humor or serious.

Got me going too!
Will be spending more time there. Lots of material!
Those science fair projects are a real hoot! And the Mall bit is toooo much!
