Christian April Fools bloggers exposed for the sake of the gullible – like me!
OK, I confess, I don’t much like April Fools Day. It isn’t because I have some theological gripe, or because I’m just a miserable so and so, it’s because I’m so bloomin’ prone to gullibility.
Well, this year, I’m taking a stand for all of those gullible folk like myself, and am going to cite all of those blog posts from the Christian Interweb, that I suspect are April Fools.
Let me know if I’ve mistakenly cited your post as a prank. Feel free to let me know of others you’ve spotted.
To everyone on this list, consider yourself well and truly busted! Us gullibles are fighting back. This will not be our annual day of shame….

@drbexl – I’m sorry it got spammed for some reason, and yet your second comment was fine. The fickle nature of technology eh.

I’m with you on this, webmaster. In spite of warning myself when I woke up that it was April 1st, I nearly fell off my chair when I read Cranny’s post. Church Mouse’s I thought was pretty obvious. (They are the only two of the above list that I read – apart from Ekklesia, which I glance through just to marvel at the stupidity of it.)
