In the context of our forum mafia games, POE means process of elimination. We can't distinguish fundamentalist beliefs from satire. Unless you throw a way to make notice you are not serious.

This is why I hope all believers this day in the abrahamic religions are poes. I wished so much people to have a better grasp of reality.

it remains possible, Westboro Baptist is a 'poe' organization.

If judged by their results, it is hard to imagine a more successful  pro-gay organization, their spokesperson has admitted as much in regards to the countries adoption of gay marriage notwithstanding Westboro Baptists staunch efforts supposedly to prevent it from happening.

That's actually a great example. Compare Westboro Baptist with Landover Baptist. The latter is a parody site, but so authentic that it suckers in thousands of people - including me when I first heard of them.

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.

It's easier for us to spot the Christian ones, they always make a mistake eventually.

This wasn't even in a hidden 69 area. Warn me before you expose my sensitive sensibilities to such adult content.
