Hey, I found this site back in November, and I'm wondering if anyone else thinks that this is real...

I have absolutely no idea. Generally spoofs are more obvious, but this is so WIERD its hard to believe it is real. "Objective Ministries" sounds like some kind of atheist action group, but then again, normally those sorts of saterical sites generally have a pretty obvious agenda and this one really doesn't..... my best theory is that it was put up deliberately to confuse people.
I saw that site awhile back. It was referenced by another, equally ridiculous website about religion that I found somehow.
I want to believe it's fake, only because I hope people aren't that stupid.
looks like something Jack Thompson would endorse
They're fake. I looked at the homepage, and they are definately fake. I mean, come on: a "witness 'stache"?! "Octopus Fossils"?! They're fake. Even the Obama Bible thing is a bit hard to believe.
UPDATE: I have not varified them all, but all of the games I checked on the site ARE indeed real. However, some of them are so strange that I doubt they could exist.
The ads are real too.....
The photos on their "members" page are all photoshopped. I think it is only run by one person.
Did you read the lyrics? LMAO!
Yeah, but there are so few of them, and they are so short.... I want to actually hear the songs. Also, a lot of the games look like mods of existing games. The Catchu-(something) one is apparently a doom knockoff, and "bible adventure" resembles one of the Mario incarnations. Also, the screenshot girl in the zombie game looks an aweful lot like Metroid's Samus Aran.
That was interesting, especially the Halo article. Using black bars to make you see things that are not there....
Samurye.
Showed it to my phiolosophy class today. All 13 of them said it was fake. What won me over was the fact that all of the sires spring from the same URL.
Thanks for all of the replys
Now, I honestly cannot tell if these guys are real, so I thought I would post the site here for "verification": http://thepalaceoflight.com/
Now, bear in mind, I got the URL off of the videos, which are run as ads on TV. (MSNBC if you wanna know)
That was a joke right? Please tell me you know that's an advertising campaign...
Bible adventures is real, i have seen vidoes on youtube of people reviewing the piece of shit.
Christian video games usually suck. Probably because you can play Doom and it's a Christian game. You're destroying the forces of hell after all. Between that and Barabas does Jerusalem, where's the contest?
I'm not sure.... that's why I posted it here. It's SO bizzarre and a bit frightening that it can't possibly be real, but the only person who has the sort of money to run the ad every commercial break is a competing cereal brand, and I doubt that they would risk creating that much expsoure for the other product, or using copyrighted logos etc.
It's an advertisement for shredded wheat...
