Post Are these people for real?

I hope this is a parody site:

"The only thing Doctors need to know about Sex is how to deliver babies, and the only thing common people need to know about it is DON'T!"

"Do people think they have some kind of right to extra-Marital orgasms? I don't remember seeing that anywhere in the Bible or the Declaration of Independence! What you do have is a right to Prayer, Fasting and Cold Showers!"

"Medical science proves that chronic Masturbation causes weakness, depression, forgetfulness and nearsightedness."

"If we outlaw dildos and require that all sausages, cucumbers and carrots be sold pre-sliced, we will make it much easier for the women among us to resist the temptation to Masturbate."

"A woman who has had a Clitoridectomy is permanently cured of Masturbation and other lascivious behavior, but the Godless bureaucrats in Washington, D.C. have had the audacity to OUTLAW this operation! One of the main goals of Americans For Purity is to not only repeal the laws against Clitoridectomy, but to make it mandatory for female children (who will never miss the part that is removed if it is done early enough). "

This has to be a joke. Just has to be....

Your right... my arm gets too tired and weak when I'm done, I forget to wash my hands because I cannot see the soap. Its all just a vicious cycle, no wonder I'm depressed

After looking around a bit, and finding thier links page, I have concluded that this is a parody. They link to Landover Baptist and the Onion.
Check out thier hatemail section as well.

What is truely sad is that there are wackjobs in this world who make it hard to tell if this is parody or not.

Oh, it's very clear it's a parody.

I love their reply to a bit of hate-mail:

That is hilarious, in an extremely horrifying way. It is of course a parody, but I wonder how many of the people submitting feedback are taking it seriously as opposed to just playing along. Someone mentioned their link to The Onion:

What?!?!?! You're saying The Onion is satire? Do you have any proof of that? I think you're wrong because everyone knows that by law satire on the Web has to be clearly labeled as such.

Ya know what is really funny about this? As I read this quote I was putting on a pair of glasses (for slight near-sightedness) and I just got over about 2 days worth of depression.

Dude, that site is a brilliant bit of satire. Not only do they link to Landover praising them, they also have a link at the bottom to the "shut down Landover" site. Haha!

If this line:

How to stop the current epidemic of Self-Abuse in America? We need the same tactics and the same kind of get-tough attitude that has been so successful in the War On Drugs!
doesn't make it clear that it's parody, I don't know what would.
