What an abomination. It's like the three-year old toddler making a paper hat for his dad out of his priceless and authentic hand-written copy of the Gettysburg Address.

It's clever. Fake, but clever.

More to the point of being an abomination. About as clever as a bent nail.

Clever in that whoever made it knew what it takes to go viral and knew how to make it look authentic to people that want to believe it's real.

No way. You think this is authentic?

Church was closed in 2004, but the domain for their website was registered this year. It's a hoax.

Viral does not automatically mean "clever." It means people are easily amused. I'm not in this case.

I wonder what the definition of fake is here.

I see these older people putting this song together and it's funny to me. it's not a clear cut case of fake vs real, like using photoshop to put someone in a picture who wasn't there.

Fake in that I'm asserting it was not older people actually reaching out to youth. I think they were in on it. I think it was recorded recently, not 2004.

What if it inadvertantly converts some aethiest youth to Christianity, now that it's gone viral on the internet?

What if that happens?

If this works, evangelical types need to reevaluate their strategies.
