OK, I can’t figure out if this is satirical or not. If I go down the list of what these folks say they will do, I can probably say that my church has offered all of these services at one time or another. So the question is, are they laughing *at* us or *with* us?

From all to personal experiences, I think this is real. I’ve met these people. They will actually sacrifice their own dog if it would get you to come to Church. How fake! yuck! That video is worse than any horror movie I have ever seen.
Mack, your fears of ends-based ministries are well founded. However, I’m pretty sure it is a parody, something funny the group did for their group of insiders, not meant to be taken globally. That’s the hard part about the internets; things said locally go global. It is meant to illustrate their passion, not to be taken literally.
