I would think so, since it appeared in the "Weekly World News" (the tabloid that gave us "Batboy" and various women claiming to be pregnant with Bigfoot's baby) back in the '80's.

The god who allows children to be raped out of respect for the free will choice of the rapist, but punishes gay men for engaging in mutually consensual sex couldn't possibly be responsible for an intelligently designed universe.

??? So the brainless wack-job that cobbled together this crappy Photoshop example and made up this ridiculous story to go with it wasn't lying?
That reminds me of a fundie xtian friend from college - - I still meet up with sometimes and usually regret it. (But damn it, we had such good times in college - sigh.) The topic turned, one day, to this great story she had seen on Facebook - she pulled out her phone to show it to me. Instead of biting my tongue, I told her that I had seen that story, and that it had been proven as a hoax. She was furious - with me - for checking Snopes and the University that the story referenced. Her response was that the STORY WAS TRUE BECAUSE THE MESSAGE WAS TRUE!!!!
She didn't speak to me for over a year.
So if that's what you mean by "they aren't lying". Sure they are. To themselves. Which makes it a bigger problem.

"4 billion miles" would put heaven comfortably in the outer solar system. If true, I say we give America all of the money to build up a space armada and invade.
For science, of course.

Is there oil there? Otherwise they probably won't go for it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Give it all the church money.

No, I think they call it "helping Jesus along" or something.
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
