Check this out. It's one of the funniest things I ever saw.
Don't panic, it's a joke site.

Christian kids want to know...Why Did Jesus Have Long Hair Like a Homo?
LOL! thats hilarious!
All my long haired friends are straight and if I recall right, only two longhairs I've met over the past nearly 40 years are gay or admitted to being gay, so this equation of long hair with being gay is nonsense.
This guy should visit a gay bar and see how many longhairs there are. I'm sure there won't be enough to count with with the fingers of one hand.
Everybody seems to realize this except them. They have a problem accepting anybody different from them. I've even heard preachers talk about blacks in the pulpit.
Although it is a joke site there are a lot of Christians who believe exactly what the pastor says, when you get saved the first thing the Holy Ghost whispers in your ear is "get a haircut"!

I've seen this a few times. It is funny, but the sad thing is there are a lot of people from conervative backgrounds almost that extreme. I'm going home to a town (and church) that's kind of cose to that. Hopefully they'll see past the hair, 'cause it didn't all of a sudden make me an druggie! I'm just thankful that it's a minority, now.
Yeah, some reason the church has gotten a bigger and bigger problem with longhair but I think it's more dangerous than sad.
Today my wife came home from shopping and had a booklet that a guy was handing out at the gro. store. On the cover was a pic. of Jesus, he has short hair, I mean over the ears short! Inside everybody has short hair.
I'm glad I wasn't with her, I got a few things to say to him. I'm seriously sick of the church doing this.
You may as well get it over with and ask your pastor his opinion about it.

That line alone is worth the article ! Put serious giggles in my morning coffee !!
Thanks Paul

I didn't find it funny, I actually found it rather disturbing. Personally. But, everybody's different.
Disturbing because it's close to how they really are?

This is a very unusual joke site, I dont find it funny. Im a christian (catholic) and I dont get any stick from anyone at the church over my long hair. Infact I have only recieved complements at the church even from the priest. May be this website is taking the piss out the fashist people in America
Hmmm... obviously you don't live in Alabama. Down here that's site's not far from the truth.

My favourite thing on this site has always been the merchandise with bible quotations on it. Here are a few of the same sayings copied from Bible Gateway (they may differ, as they are probably not from the same version, but the ones on the Landover site are not text):
Malachi 2:3 (King James Version)
3Behold, I will corrupt your seed, and spread dung upon your faces, even the dung of your solemn feasts; and one shall take you away with it.
2 Kings 18:27 (King James Version)
27But Rabshakeh said unto them, Hath my master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to speak these words? hath he not sent me to the men which sit on the wall, that they may eat their own dung, and drink their own piss with you?
Deuteronomy 28:53 (King James Version)
53And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the LORD thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:
Psalm 137:9 (King James Version)
9Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.
Deuteronomy 21:18-21 (King James Version)
18If a man have a stubborn and rebellious son, which will not obey the voice of his father, or the voice of his mother, and that, when they have chastened him, will not hearken unto them:
19Then shall his father and his mother lay hold on him, and bring him out unto the elders of his city, and unto the gate of his place;
20And they shall say unto the elders of his city, This our son is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey our voice; he is a glutton, and a drunkard.
21And all the men of his city shall stone him with stones, that he die: so shalt thou put evil away from among you; and all Israel shall hear, and fear.
Leviticus 20:9 (King James Version)
9For every one that curseth his father or his mother shall be surely put to death: he hath cursed his father or his mother; his blood shall be upon him.
Numbers 31:17-18 (King James Version)
17Now therefore kill every male among the little ones, and kill every woman that hath known man by lying with him.
18But all the women children, that have not known a man by lying with him, keep alive for yourselves.

Your quotes illustrate his point beautifully! :)
I mean, just look at the dudes from Stryper! :-)
(Even though at least lead guitarist Oz Fox has, AIUI, cut most of his hair, I don't think they're exactly against it.)
