I'm defending the guy-- it's a vicious rumour that's circulating, and I wanted to get out ahead of the story here. After reviewing some of the idiocy on christwire.org, I can only conclude that the site's sole purpose is to lampoon and discredit Christianity. I would put money on it being a rabid anti-christian type behind the site. Paul has been posting nothing but BS the entire time he has been here so this is nothing new. He has just reached a new low even for him; I suspect if he tried, that he can sink even lower. Don’t you just love the people that say they love god, makes me proud to be an atheist.

"Oh, by the way: ChristWire is all one big joke. Not the readership — which hit a high of 27 million page views in August — but the content, the opinions and the fake authors who write the stuff. (There is no “Stephenson Billings.”) Neither of the two founders is a conservative Christian. They are just like-minded 28-year-olds who met on the Internet, have never seen each other in person, and until this week had never given their real identities to a reporter. Bryan Butvidas is a software developer who works out of his house in Southern California. Kirwin Watson is a former Pepperdine student who moved back home to Kansas, where he now works “on the patient-care staff” of a local hospital. According to phone interviews with both men, they met online in 2005, when both were contributing to the news aggregator Shoutwire.com. They are fuzzy on the dates, but soon — “maybe it was 2007,” Mr. Butvidas offers — they were posting collaborative humor pieces on the Web. Mr. Butvidas bought the ChristWire.org domain name, and the partners began to conceive the Web site that exists today, something like what The Onion would be if the writers cared mainly about God, gay people and how both influence the weather. ... Their target, they say, is not Christians but those who do not question what they hear on the news. " www.nytimes.com/2010/09/04/us/04beliefs.html

Lol, Paul is Paul. This post reminds me of when Huckabee went to the media to show them the campaign ad he was above running and nixed.

That is a bunch of bull right there. The whole thing- from their target not being Christians to the real target being those who do not question what they see in the news. They could do a lot better, and be much more constructive if they truly meant to challenge people who don't question the news. For example, they could start by promoting Bob Goldberg's book "Bias" and its follow up, "A Slobbering Love Affair". They could link to sites like www.climatedepot.com

You should supervise your son's time on the Internet.

Yeah, don't worry about the porn or drug websites, he could be going to sarah palin, ron paul, paul ryan, or numourous republican websites offering his support, which must be stomped down.
