I am a Christian. Hands down, I will never back down from my faith. However, there are a lot of people out there who claim Christianity yet, live a life totally different from Christ. Being a conservative Christian does not work. We cannot point fingers and label people as "sinner," all that does is push them away and give them a reason to write a book such as this one. I have had many bad run-ins with the Baptist church. Honestly, this book is pretty dead on with some of my experiences. I am a ministry leader but I am constantly around those who the traditional church turns its back on. So in summary:
To the Christians: stop complaining about this book. You probably caused this to happen and are just angry because you see yourself within it. Go read a book called unChristian by David Kinneman.. maybe it will change your perceptions.
To those who support this book: good job, someone has to take a stand against right winged Baptist Nazis.

I've been an athiest for 10 years. I bought this book 2 weeks ago, and read it from cover to cover the first night!! I have now accepted Jesus as my personal Lord & savior thanks to Pastor Deacon Fred and Brother Harry Hardwick's tear jerking sermons.

My son, who is 14, took up the offer on page 3 to "Accept Jesus Christ as Your Personal Lord and Savior and Get a Free Playstation 3" promotion. He has been enjoying his Playstation, and his new friendship with Jesus, ever since.

Anyone wishing to get to know God on a much more personal basis should buy this book. I was so excited, I bought 5 more copies to give to local libraries, so generations to come can learn the TRUE gospel of Jesus Christ.

Enjoy.

This book is a godsend to a religion that seriously needs a reality check.

Welcome to Jesusland illustrates and frames the practices of extreme Christianity, exposing anti-intellectualism, questionable child brainwashing, failure of pastoral example, delusions of speaking to God, blatant egocentricity, and the excessive trademarking of Christianity (True Christian(TM), Silver Ring Thing(TM), WWJD(TM)).

But most of all, this extreme depiction of Christians shows how selectively the Bible gets applied. In sections where you say "But Christians don't do this," you find a passage from the Bible, plain as day. For example, encourage your children to hate you and become a life-long disciple of Jesus while you stone them to death.

For Christians reading this review, instead of condemning this book, study it in depth. Learn why people believe these things and take the opportunity to take out the mental trash that has accumulated. However, recommended for those of strong faith and willing to tolerate a little humor at their expense.

When you aren't walking across hot coals, speaking in tongues, or handling more than one snake, I highly recommend you read this inspirational work of art. Buy a copy of this book for each room of your house, and place it next to your Bibles. This is a MUST have book for all people of faith!
God Bless Betty Bowers and Landover Baptist!
Can I get an "AMEN"?!

Praise Jesus. Praise Him for he has delivered, through Pastor Deacon Fred, a book that all true Christians can feel safe and proud to pass around Sundays at church. I remember standing amidst the moral FILTH at something called "GAMOW" in Washington, DC a couple of years ago. I cannot tell you how troubled and deeply disturbed I felt standing around such ungodly folk. It made my personal commitment to Christ stronger than ever. Not only that, but through God's Own Messenger, Pastor Deacon Fred, that connection is even stronger. Oh, Glory. This nation, this world needs REVIVAL. And the closest thing to administering the word of God and Jesus is LANDOVER BAPTIST. There is truly no greater representative of Christianity around today. I cannot tell you all the blessings conferred upon me and mine than through our solemn and sacred affiliation with this mighty force for the Lord. Again, ALL Christians need to get with this for we are living in the End Times. Get Saved. Buy and study this magnificent, Holy Word. God Bless Landover Baptist, God Bless George W Bush, and GOD BLESS JESUS CHRIST!!!

With the witless likes of Ann "teach em how to hate" Coulter and the countless others being published, one light in the darkness that bites back with humor and satire is more godly than all the self proclaimed prophets and biblical word spouters trying desperately to stuff their little red, pointy tails down their pants while pointing dirty fingers and shouting at everyone else.
Perspective people- in a great time of darkness. Humor is the way to perspective. Reading this would be a good way to start.

I have rated this book "Five Stars", but had Amazon allowed me I would have rated it five Hallelujahs!

Once again, Landover Baptist Church, through the talented of Chris Harper, has deftly placed its hands upon America and said "My eyes have seen it, and it is good." This is done by documenting the feverish wave that has overtaken this once lost country, and molded it into an image that is at once sacred, and accurate.

The book was a breath of fresh and humorous air. Yes, it did hurt the feelings of some the Christians who the book was aimed at. We here, at the liberal left, have had our "feelings" hurt for the past 6 years as we have heard how we have destroyed our country. There were many days and weeks in which I was sick, viscerally, to the lies spewed forth from the bible belt regarding the left side of our country. So many Christians I KNOW want the same thing I do...care for the people who need a hand up. And in the sarcastic and witty sense provided by Mr. Harper, he contrasts that with the Money, Money, Sex, and SIN (like he says)....Who will go to heaven if there is such a place?..those of us giving our sweat to help others like ourselves in need, or those who go to huge churches and pay lots of money, learn the bible..only to complain about helping others? Thank you for catching them with their pants down, Mr. Harper.

this book is hilarious, and a welcome relief for those of us who are not sucked in by religion. If you are open minded and don't mind fun being poked at the modern extremes of christianity, have a good chuckle with this book while you wait for better times!

Halaluya! America's Favorite Church (for saved only, not for us ungodly trash) Landover Baptist once again sets the record straight (tee hee hee) on the "proper' worship of "godswordthebible' and how to get trailer trash all over America SAVED! (convenence permitting.)

Frank Zappa had the guts to skewer those "saved" in the keesters in his album, "You are what You Is." The Residents carved many wormholes in their Bible with their epic "Wormwood" CD. Now, Landover Baptist takes on all the imaginary nonsense and gibberish that is believed by that Son of a Bush in office, and undertakers nationwide!

Those who justify their actions and Faith with the Bible have never read their bibles or do like most people do: take credence only in the scriptures that support their own bigotries and prejudices. Welcome to Jesusland shows all the hidden obscure yet in plain sight chapters and verses allegedly written by that "loving, vengeful invisible anthropomorphism in the sky." As the editors say in the preface: "We'd like to thank the writers and editors of the King James Version from which all the references in this book were obediently quoted without alteration, for providing such complicit source material for our zealous quest for the outrageous!"

As I slaughter many sacred cows these days and proudly claim the title of Infidel, join me and us heretics at laughing our guts out on all the hogwash and gibberish that we used to believe in until we said to ourselves: "Wait a minute, that's the stupidest thing I ever heard!"
