God loves you (unless you are gay) - 3.24.2000

The Westboro Baptist Church's home page has the memorable URL of www.GodHatesFags.com.  Unfortunately, this is not a joke.  Their site finds quotations from the Bible that assert homosexuals "...are worthy of death for their vile, depraved, unnatural sex practices," as well as other equally disturbing ideas.  Atheists often point out the inconsistencies and depravity that can be found in the Bible, things that most Christians overlook.  The God Hates Fags web page illustrates how frightening actually taking the Bible literally can be.  Perpetrators of hate crimes have just received their mandate from on high.  I think the Westboro Baptist Church should be held accountable for hate crimes committed by any fools they may have inspired.   Below is a picture I pulled off their web site.

Just in case public pressure forces the Westboro Baptist Church to take their site down, I've preserved the content of their opening page below, but visit the link provided because their is much more information at their site.

In summary, sodomites are wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly (Gen. 13:13), are violent and doom nations (Gen. 19:1-25; Jgs. 19), are abominable to God (Lev. 18:22), are worthy of death for their vile, depraved, unnatural sex practices (Lev. 20:13; Rom. 1:32), are called dogs because they are filthy, impudent and libidinous (Deut. 23:17,18; Mat. 7:6; Phil. 3:2), produce by their very presence in society a kind of mass intoxication from their wine made from grapes of gall from the vine of Sodom and the fields of Gomorrah which poisons society's mores with the poison of dragons and the cruel venom of asps (Deut. 32:32,33), declare their sin and shame on their countenance (Isa. 3:9), are shameless and unable to blush (Jer. 6:15), are workers of iniquity and hated by God (Psa. 5:5), are liars and murderers (Jn. 8:44), are filthy and lawless (2 Pet. 2:7,8), are natural brute beasts (2 Pet. 2:12), are dogs eating their own vomit and sows wallowing in their own feces (2 Pet. 2:22), will proliferate at the end of the world bringing final judgment on mankind (Lk. 17:28-30), have been finally given up by God to uncleanness dishonoring their own bodies among themselves, to vile affections, and to a reprobate mind such that they cannot think straight about anything (Rom. 1:23-28), have wholly given themselves over to fornication and gone after strange flesh (Jude 7), must be pulled as faggots from the fire (Jude 23), and have no hope of Heaven unless they repent (Rev. 22:15). They need to hear this truth if they are to have any hope of penitence, faith in Jesus Christ and salvation (I Timothy 4:2-4).
