No, the views on the site aren't serious. Well, the people who maintain the site are undoubtedly serious about the fact that they take an extremely dim view of Baptists, but other than that ... the racist, sexist, and hatefully christocentric statements are all intended to be parodies of fundamentalist christians at their worst.
I think it is missing the boat for someone to become upset about, say, the racist statements on the site; the site is intended to make Baptists look bad, and the site does that by putting racist statements in their mouths. That in itself implies that the site authors think racism is a Bad Thing (tm) :) Also that they think fundamentalists are a Bad Thing, but that's another kettle of controversy entirely.

Are you saying thesse are serious views on this site and not, as I read it, biting satire on the views of some sects? If they are seriously held beliefs then they border on madness; and I'm not sure which side of that border. If that is so I do understand your reaction and cannot fault it.
