I took a look at the whole website - some great stuff - very good parody site I thought, then again: maybe to good!

At XXXchurch we want to let you know that you are loved by God and by the people involved in this ministry. You are not alone. You do not have to carry this burden any longer. The entire reason for having this website is to give people hope and to let them know that there is help.

Here's a promo movie of the makers (looks like parody, but is it?)

Evangelism Catches Up With the Times
Wednesday, April 07, 2004
By Catherine Donaldson-Evans
Today’s hip, young things — make that hip, young, Christian things — are surfing the Net in search of God … and finding Him.
A gaggle of ministries have taken their biblical messages down unconventional paths to appeal to 20- and 30-somethings.
Using Web sites, multi-media, pop culture and edgy language, organizations like www.relevantmagazine.com and Fireproof Ministries (and its anti-pornography Web site www.XXXchurch.com) are reaching out to young Christians in more modern ways than established organized religion ever has.
“We take a different approach to the traditional preacher role,” said Fireproof Ministries founder Craig Gross, a 28-year-old ordained minister and former youth pastor. "We use comedy and video and real-life experiences. It's not just one of us up there with a Bible."
The Web sites are a virtual meeting place where Fireproof followers can be informed about the ministries' schedule of events, monthly newsletters and overall mission. On its anti-porn site, XXXchurch.com (co-founded by Mike Foster), there's a "prayer wall" where people post questions, topics for discussion or prayers; the site also sells trinkets like XXXchurch trucker hats and Jesus action figures.
