Westboro Baptist Church Gets In the Music Game
The people who picketed the funerals of dead soldiers and brought you such charming websites as "God Hates Fags" are getting into the music business with their single, "Whorish Face." The parody of the Lady Gaga hit "Poker Face" was written by Westboro Pastor Fred Phelps' granddaughter Megan Phelps-Roper. With all the trouble these people have caused already do they really want to face the fury of Weird Al?
Unfortunately, there is enough ambiguous content in the bible that you can get almost any interpretation you want out of it, if you go into it with already strongly held beliefs and an intent to do so.
Personally, I believe God Loves Homosexuals (that's we he made so many of them!) and that Jesus, who was known for hanging out with and comforting the outcasts of society, would have had no problem with embracing someone whose sexual preferences were in the minority. Although the bible contains several proscriptions on homosexual behavior, the usual example cited (Sodom & Gomorrah) is a bad one, since these cities were destroyed for allowing the practice of homosexual rape, not mere homosexuality.
I've abandoned my search for truth; now I'm just looking for some useful delusions.
Really? You wouldn't know it seeing how many gays are in positions of leadership in xian churches.
He must also love gossips and rumour-mongers, seeing as most fundie churches are SO busy telling everyone else how they should live or they're going to hell.
What next? Condemning transsexuals as "just men in dresses"? Or that divorced people can never remarry? Or that I'll go to hell for saying that i am absolutely convinced there is no possibility of god existing in this universe, and people who claim otherwise should put up or shit up?
And no, your book (which should be classified as hate literature) doesn't count as "proof", any more than Star Wars would prove the existence of "the force."
