Jesus freaks make unattractive websites: Came across this while looking for some old Nintendo ROMS. You'd think he'd at least try to make his message legible . . .

Found this while looking for Metroid after work. Strange what searches on WebCrawler (don't ask why, I just felt like it) will turn up.

What does one have to do with the other? Broad strokes paint narrow minds.

If Christianity is supposed to be about believing and faith, why do they post things like "JESUS FACT!"? And what's with the nuclear explosion GIFs?

I'd intended to post something impetuous, but then thought again after reading owillis' post.

interesting animated gifs though.

Indeed, that was an unfair generalization on my part. Far be it from me to pigeonhole those who have been born again.

THIS Jesus freak makes unattractive websites.

I make web sites for Christians and they look nothing like that.

I love the way he explains what he means by paradise (heaven)....oh I thought you meant Hawaii.

"Did you know that when Jesus was older than the entire universe when he was born?"

Hmmm... interesting grammer.

Oh, and the animated gif is from Command & Conquer: Red Alert (I think).

Cut the guy some slack -- what did your web pages look like when you were 10?

For good Christian baiting materials, try this site or this one.
And have a nice day!

Cut the guy some slack -- what did your web pages look like when you were 10?"

Bright-red colored Times New Roman on a black background. A content frame and a navigation frame located below. About two or three animated GIFs a page and a javascript-powered scrolling statusbar and it was called "The Basement." Yes, you're right: yuck. But I was 12. And scrolling statusbar-text were all the rage back then (1996)! Really.

And have an even nicer day than I've had today!

(ps. how do you know he's 10?)

Gee, thanks, gsxl, it's been years since anyone's cared enough to try to proselytize me. I appreciate that. I really do. However, I like this church better.
