					<description><![CDATA[Jim,



You can get it FREE from Brother Danny Davis.  On his broadcast he said FREE (yes you can hear the caps) about 18 times.  I almost called him.  It was really funny.  At first I was wondering if it was a parody... but he&#039;s not.



As for the type of oil, I don&#039;t know.  It was some dreadful and slightly scary red color (I think that&#039;s because it&#039;s Blood of Jesus No Evil Oil).  I think by all means you should go to his website and get yourself some.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I got a completely different e-mail in my inbox Tuesday from someone else who claims to be behind the video. He even provided a video to try to support his claim. But unless I get better evidence, I decided not to run with it. It looks like the other long list of bloggers who got CC&#039;d on it decided the same thing.



Until the real Donnie Davies stands up once and for all, I think we&#039;ll find a lot of people trying to take credit. One of them will be right. I just don&#039;t know who.]]></description>

-----Original Message-----

From: Donnie Davies [mailto:donnie@lovegodsway.org]

Sent: 05 February 2007 20:00

To: ChazAntonelli@yahoo.com

Subject: Response for direct inquiries to Brainfood about Donnie Davies





Hello,



You have correctly discerned that Brainfood provides services to the Donnie

Davies project. We are providing this explanatory letter to people that fail

to get the joke to the degree of directly contacting us or, in some cases,

illegally attempting to disrupt our system services.



The site is indeed a hoax. Donnie Davies and his ministry are a cartoon of

forces at work in America that we feel are destructive to the Nation&#039;s moral

compass and the integrity of community spirit. We do not condone the practice

of demonstrating at the funerals of America&#039;s fallen soldiers and we do not

subscribe to the belief that gays and/or lesbians should be rounded up and

placed in death camps. We perceive these views to be disgusting and

anti-American. We also recognize that America must be tolerant of dissent to

preserve our Liberty and our way of life. The Donnie Davies project was

created as a mechanism to electronically excite protest, ignite discussion

and seed key phrases that would alter search results we view to be strategic.



Everyone is a critic and everyone will always have an opinion about how things

could be done better. We weighed the situation very carefully before we

entered into this because we knew that a certain amount of confusion was

necessary to provoke sufficient discussion. Before our campaign, searching

Google for the phrase &quot;god hates fags&quot; returned unadulterated hatred

slandering our soldiers, our country and the GLBT community. We have now

provided a message that people can hopefully laugh at. We believe meeting

hate with more hate only increases hate. Comedy has a fighting chance of

diffusing the situation.



For myself, personally, I got involved with this project because of Alan

Turing. Alan was the scientist who designed the world&#039;s first computers in

order to break the encryption used in Nazi submarines. He was a hero. After

the war he was imprisoned for being gay. You can read more about him here:



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_turing



That is our story. We regret if we have caused you emotional harm. We

understand that this explanation may not suffice and that you may view our

enterprise as misguided or malign. We felt otherwise and we acted. Supporting

us, whether you believe in us or not, is part of being American.



Best regards,

Team Donnie Davies
