Dead End Print

I have discovered a form of intolerance that I literally did not believe to exist.  There is nothing funny about this one.  There is a “church” that protests all over this country behind the flag of religious justice, targeting the gay community.  The web address of www.godhatesfags.com pretty much says it all, and any self-respecting human being would save themselves a lot of energy by steering clear of the homophobes.  This one self-respecting person decided that this can’t be as bad as they make it sound.  Let me tell you, it is.  These assholes have published less religious teaching and more gay-bashing under the guise of the right hand of God than I have ever seen.  It reminds me of a well-known political party in Germany back in the 1930s and 1940s.  I wish that comparing them to Nazis would piss them off, but they will probably love me for it, since they hold Jews in the same esteem.  This is an absolutely mind-boggling spectacle of ignorance.  This is the embodiment of everything that is wrong with the world.  They have posted articles on their website, one showing the face of Matthew Shepard bouncing around in the flames of hell, and another with the tagline, “Thank God for 6 dead soldiers, let us pray for 6000 more,”.  These motherfuckers believe that they are the last hope for the nation  Let me tell you, these people are what is WRONG with this nation.  The simple fact that these stupid fucking pigs are out wandering the streets, “saving souls”, as they call it, well, I wish it were illegal.  But, freedom of speech is why I’m here, and it is why they are too.

The blog page reads more like the postings found on failblog.org.  I love failblog’s work by the way; it is very entertaining.  I wish these accursed individuals had any entertaining quality in their publications, for I would not feel as though precious time has been stolen from me that will never be returned.  These people take e-mails from people, berate them for whatever damning character flaw they are deemed to posses, and then throw out a bible verse or two in a vain effort to prove their point.  I will say this, their grasp on the bible seems tenuous at best.  It must be nice to pick and choose whatever verse they can find to prove their point, never mind the fact that there is a verse in the bible that is going to say the complete opposite of the one they’ve picked out.  You know, I think I am going to e-mail them; it would be interesting to see their twisted sights of how I live my life as a so-called “fag-enabler”.

I can’t believe these people are serious.  I really can’t.  The intolerance literally makes me sick with rage.  I have friends who are gay, and I have friends who died while serving their country.  Oh, I almost forgot to mention my thoughts on their prayers for more dead soldiers.  Unbelievable.  Granted, I am against the war in Iraq.  I am not against the troops.  I am all for the troops.  They have put their lives on the line, some of them never coming home again, for this country.  Anyone who belittles their efforts should be ashamed of themselves.  They should be put on a fancy yacht and left to fend for themselves in the seas near Somalia.  Let the pirates have them, and then we’ll see what they think of an organized military.

This church is led by Fred Phelps, and he is crazy.  He is stone-cold fucking nuts.  This guy has been disbarred in Kansas for his behavior in a courtroom, and every single politician is distancing themselves from him.  No politician wants anything to do with this asshole, doesn’t that tell you anything?  This guy is a living Adolf Hitler.  I wouldn’t be at all surprised if his skin fell off to reveal the Fuhrer himself.  Seriously.  Not one bit.  The rest, well, it’s all been said and done.  The man is an absolute jack-ass.  I’m so pissed off I can’t write anymore, I’m going to smoke.
