Submitter’s comments: This site is so crazy, I’m not sure if it falls into the suck category

Vincent Flanders’ comments: Fortunately, I have a category for this type of web site — “Over the Top.” The definition of an “Over the Top”web site is just like the definition of pornography — you know it when you see it. Over the Top sites generally deal with philosophy, religion, politics, end times, etc., but they’re generally not mainstream. These sites always make Mistake #5 from Biggest Mistakes in Web Design 1995-2015 — “Have you ever seen another web site? Really? Doesn’t look like it.“ I call this type of design the “I haven’t taken my antipsychotics in a while school of web design.”

I’ve just come up with a new theory as to why people design sites like this. They’re afraid that if they create logical navigation, nobody will click on any of the links. They want to put all their beliefs on one page on the off chance someone will scroll down and find something of interest.
