Are these "God Hates Fags" videos real or a joke?

1. wow

:rofl:

[Jamastiene]

2. I'm on dialup. Could you please

describe them a little for me?

[begin_within]

8. One is a music video where the guy sings

a lot of anti-gay stuff, and it is produced like someone spent some real money producing it. The other is just an introductory speech by him. His web sites are:

13. Eek. That sounds like a bad spinoff of the Westboro bunch.

I noticed they had a lot of great bands listed on the "Gay Bands" list on that first link. I'd still like to figure out how they compiled that list.

[InternalDialogue]

16. Don't forget to take a look at their "safe bands"

Cyndi Lauper? She Bop Cyndi Lauper?

Guess that kind of thing is OK now. As long as you're a different gender than yourself.

[ironflange]

31. Frank Sinatra?

Yeah, ol' Blue Eyes is as gay as they come. :eyes:

[Fuzz]

22. Ravi Shankar? Metallica? Gay Bands?

Like it matters anyway, but sheesh!

[Divameow77]

32. I love how

they have Elton John listed twice (really gay), Or how they spelled Eminmen???

[ironflange]

34. Indigo Girls is listed twice too

Wonder why. I see Prussian Blue isn't on the list, though, so he must people not of the Master Race are fair game.

[Critters2]

35. Elton rates a "(really gay)", but Queen and Village People don't

Curious. I guess they just weren't trying hard enough.

[Xithras]

3. Real

If you're ever in Central California, I know several people like that who would love to have a conversation with you to SAVE YOUR SOUL! They're freaks, but it's very real and they do exist.

[Momgonepostal]

4. Ewww, really?

Are they affiliated with a local church?

[Xithras]

12. Oh yes.

If you want to meet some real fundies around here, try Big Valley Grace on Tully (they have their own elementary and high schools too, so their yungins don't get corrupted by our 'librul' public schools). Most of the fundies I've met seem to go there. Very fundamentalist, very anti-gay. Grace Orthodox Presbytyrian on Orangeburg has a good share of fundies too. Calvary Chapel out on Pelandale is a bit of a mixed bag...I've met some real fundies that go there, but I also know a couple of good people who attend that church and swear that it isn't a "hate church". I've only ever been there once (family thing) so can't really label it one way or the other. I do know there are some anti-gay jerks that go there.

[Momgonepostal]

27. I'm familiar with Big Valley

I used to work with a lady that went there, before all that scandal with their pastor. She actually was a pretty nice and level headed person, was generally accepting of different kinds of people, etc. It does seem to be a very right wing church, though, from what I hear.

I guess what I was asking was if you know of any specific ex-gay type ministeries in the area. I could totally see BV doing something like this.

[Jamastiene]

5. I am on dialup and didn't see the videos, but that's

the group that protests funerals of soldiers and they are a vile bunch. It's basically the members of a church in Westboro, Kentucky who go around saying horrible things like "Thank God for AIDS" and other such nonsense.

[Momgonepostal]

7. That's Fred Phelp's group...

This appears to be a differnet set of whackos.

[Lyric]

10. I'm pretty sure it's Westboro, Kansas

Not Kentucky. :)

[Jamastiene]

15. You are right.

I knew it was one of them. Hey, isn't Kansas further away than Kentucky from NC? I think it is. If that's the case then, good. Sorry for the mix up especially if you are from Kentucky. If you are from Kansas, I feel for you having that bunch in your midst.

[Telly Savalas]

29. Topeka, KS.

Westboro is just the name of the "church".

[Momgonepostal]

6. It's tough to believe it's real because of the references to...

not getting into heaven through the back door, and getting on your knees, then the pink shirt, the "come hither" looks he gives the camera. If it's not satire, that guy needs help before he becomes the next Ted Haggard.

And what kind of Christian teaches God hates people?

[begin_within]

9. All of his web sites seem serious, without a hint of satire...

I'll be sure to watch out for The Village People. :rofl:

19. It has to be satire

17. Time to resurrect the Doctor Laura letter

Dear Dr. Laura,

Thank you for doing so much to educate people regarding God's Law. I have learned a great deal from your show, and I try to share that knowledge with as many people as I can. When someone tries to defend the homosexual lifestyle, for example, I simply remind him that Leviticus 18:22 clearly states it to be an abomination. End of debate.

I do need some advice from you, however, regarding some of the specific laws and how to best follow them.

a) When I burn a bull on the altar as a sacrifice, I know it creates a pleasing odor for the Lord (Lev 1:9). The problem is my neighbors. They claim the odor is not pleasing to them. Should I smite them?

b) I would like to sell my daughter into slavery, as sanctioned in Exodus 21:7. In this day and age, what do you think would be a fair price for her?

c) I know that I am allowed no contact with a woman while she is in her period of menstrual uncleanliness (Lev 15:19-24). The problem is, how do I tell? I have tried asking, but most women take offense.

d) Lev. 25:44 states that I may indeed possess slaves, both male and female, provided they are purchased from neighboring nations. A friend of mine claims that this applies to Mexicans, but not Canadians. Can you clarify? Why can't I own Canadians?

e) I have a neighbor who insists on working on the Sabbath. Exodus 35:2 clearly states he should be put to death. Am I morally obligated to kill him myself?

f) A friend of mine feels that even though eating shellfish is an Abomination (Lev 11:10), it is a lesser abomination than homosexuality. I don't agree. Can you settle this?

g) Lev 21:20 states that I may not approach the altar of God if I have a defect in my sight. I have to admit that I wear reading glasses. Does my vision have to be 20/20, or is there some wiggle room here?

h) Most of my male friends get their hair trimmed, including the hair around their temples, even though this is expressly forbidden by Lev 19:27. How should they die?

i) I know from Lev 11:6-8 that touching the skin of a dead pig makes me unclean, but may I still play football if I wear gloves?

j) My uncle has a farm. He violates Lev 19:19 by planting two different crops in the same field, as does his wife by wearing garments made of two different kinds of thread (cotton/polyester blend). He also tends to curse and blaspheme a lot. Is it really necessary that we go to all the trouble of getting the whole town together to stone them? (Lev 24:10-16) Couldn't we just burn them to death at a private family affair like we do with people who sleep with their in-laws? (Lev. 20:14)

I know you have studied these things extensively, so I am confident you can help.

Thank you again for reminding us that God's word is eternal and unchanging.

Your devoted disciple and adoring fan.

[Jamastiene]

20. OMG.

:rofl: That one deserves an award of some sort for "Best Questions Ever Asked."

[Redstone]

21. That guy is a secret "fag" hmself, trust me. I may be straight, but I have pretty good gaydar.

What say you, gay DU guys? Am I right? The voice, the mannerisms? He's not mocking, he's a three-dollar bill trying SO hard to deny his nature...

I sense a self-beard, right there.

Redstone

[Fuzz]

23. Looks like he's trying to fight it through god stuff.

[Redstone]

26. Yup. That's his cover. But late at night, when he's all alone, he faces the truth.

I know it's not easy being a homosexual guy in this country, but I'd have to think it would be a hell of a lot easier to just admit the truth and go on with his life than to keep the cover-up going...

Gay DU guys, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong in this assumption.

Redstone

[Deja Q]

24. I think God hates shrimp even more!

http://www.godhatesshrimp.com/

[Critters2]

36. It is an abomination. Trust me. I read Hebrew.

Same word used to describe shellfish and gay sex. So, I won't let people into my church until they prove they don't eat shrimp. Or bacon. Or cheeseburgers...



I should probably add :sarcasm:

[idgiehkt]

25. these lyrics...

to enter heaven, there's no backdoor...

righteous man, get on your knees...

I couldn't take it anymore, I don't know whether it's real or not. He's singing it in a pink shirt for crying out loud.

[Maven]

30. It's a parody. The website too.

I can't remember the guy's real name but he's gay and a director of short films I think.

[ironflange]

33. He has a myspace page

http://www.myspace.com/donniedavies

This is no troll, he's dead serious. That vile music video is there.

[SacredCow]

37. The song has been removed....

Terms of use violations or something like that....

I browsed the websites, and I can't decide if it's a parody or not. If it is, then the creator has skirted the believability line at EXACTLY the right place.....
