Talk:Church of Euthanasia/Archive 1

Sad, just sad
I agree with the post below me that this article should not be deleted. These people like Chris Korda are nothing more than religious extremist hypocrites (last I checked, Chris isn't dead, as of writing this, of course). Saving the earth is one thing but killing off humans? Seriously? The website also has an inaccurate counter which continuously adds 1 to the human population on earth without taking the deaths of millions into account, basically propaganda and a cult mindset.

EDIT: Went to visit the site again, seeing that this whole thing was started by a vision of aliens in another dimension and over-religious crap, let's just find these cultheads and slaughter them if they want to die so much. --Teokaijie (talk) 11:01, 11 June 2013 (UTC)

I saw the website
This article should not be deleted. It has been the subject of serious scholarly attention, as indicated by the fact the Editor in Chief of the recently published (in 2005) academic encyclopedia, The Encyclopedia of Religion and Nature, included an entry in the Encyclopedia dedicated to the Church of Euthanasia. I have edited the references to include this academic reference. The COE is provacative, but not satire or parody. They represent a serious strain within streams of radical environmentalism. The same goes for Chris Korda. As the founder of this stream of readical environmentalism, he/she is noteworthy.

I saw the website before I located this article, and I was in awe. I think the people who run this thing are retarded. However, I do not believe the article should ever be deleted. Эйрон Кинни 07:08, 23 December 2005 (UTC)

This entry should NOT be deleted. The people behind it are certainly eccentric but the church IS a registered charity in the US and hence it should be recognised as such here.

Considering its Dada affiliations, it seems to me like the church is obvious satire. Why hasn't anyone mentioned this? the first thing I thought of reading their site was Jonathan's swift "A modest proposal" --24.7.99.43 04:36, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

the website is available
As of 06 Feb 2008, the website http://www.churchofeuthanasia.org/ is up and working. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BenBradleyBayhorse (talk • contribs) 04:57, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

website not available
The COE website appears to no longer be available.

As of 25/4/14 this website is unavailable in the UK as it appears to have been blocked at ISP level, however it is still available via use of proxy. None will probably ever read this but if a wandering wikian in the UK could confirm its not just me 23:19, 24 April 2014 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 188.29.164.38 (talk)

Activity
The church seems to have updated only once this year, and the most recent being from 2003. COE seems to be completely defunct as of now. Oh, no wait, most recent update is from January of 2006. Still, that's 8 months since it's seen any activity. Thank god though.

NO Sense and/or No Sense of Humor
The lack of info about the church's connections to satire, parody and Swift needs to be addressed as the poster above mentioned. The entry has no sense of style, grasp of 20th Century confrontational surrealist politics such as the Yippies, or even a clear understanding of COE public information or Rev. Korda. Since when does a lack of on-line public activity on one web site define when an organization or idea or movement is defunct? Duhda (talk) 15:39, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Anyone else think something is up with this....?
I was just searching the internet for weird religions and stumbled upon this page  ''http://listverse.com/2009/09/10/10-extremely-weird-religions/

It's number 2 on the list, compare the opening article here on wikipedia to the whole section on that site. It looks like somebody just copy/pasted and inserted a few words, but I'm not sure whitch site did it. Anyone got any thoughts? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.165.189.243 (talk) 22:34, 12 November 2010 (UTC)
