#5 Worst Non-Profit Web Site of 2007 — Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to heaven!

Submitter's comments: Ran across this one last night. While I am a deeply committed Christian, I must take issue with their slams against contemporary Christian music, modern Bible translations, and Catholics. Oh, and their web site is a real doozy.

Vincent Flanders' comments: This is a really good example of Mistake #5 from Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015 — "Have you ever seen another web site? Really? Doesn't look like it." I call this type of design the "I haven't taken my antipsychotics in a while school of web design."

You have to love the Internet because that's where I found the quote. In the Catholic Church I grew up in (pre-Vatican II), nobody studied the Bible. We read stories like the Prodigal Son and the workers in the field who got paid the same regardless of the hours worked (talk about the need for unionizing). We can't quote chapter and verse so when we want a Bible verse, the Internet is a godsend.

This site is so obviously bad even a blind person can see the mistakes. If you can't, go through Does My Web Site Suck? Checklist 1.

Other comments #1: I love that page. If it were a movie, it would be an Ed Wood film. Beer Kills!

You have to appreciate the sheer effort to get all that stuff on the page, if not the execution. I think it works well for its target audience. Mediocre web design for a feeble-minded audience.

Other comments #2: I am both a web designer and an extremely conservative Christian. This site offends both of those. First, the content: if you're going to make a site to tell people how they should act and live, you should make sure the validity of your arguments. "Real" Christian music doesn't have drums? (Ok, I'm a little ashamed to admit that I read that far into the page...) But then, the design! Actually I don't want to talk about it. It makes my gassy to think someone might associate this clown with me and my friends.

Jesus Christ is the ONLY way to heaven!
