Nothing to do with literature

This brightened my day. It's a spoof on the Westboro Baptist Churches "God Hates Fags" campaign. The Westboro Baptist Church consists mainly of one large family intent on proving that gay people cause every single problem in the world and things like Hurricane Katrina were caused by an angry god smiting a country which is too "culturally accepting" of homosexual people. They are a heavily reactionary group and outwardly state the belief that Obama is the anti-christ. As if Barack Obama is actually WORSE than their perception of a hateful, omnipresent diety that would PROMOTE picketing at the funerals of fallen soliders who've served in Iraq, believing that they doom themselves by fighting a war to protect a country that allows homosexual people to exist.

Anyone who knows me at all knows that they stand for absolutely everything I stand against. This is why I LOVE godhatesshrimp.com. It's a satirical jab at all of the ridiculous "evidence" that is presented by the Westboro Baptist Church. It's almost as ridiculous as the God Hates Fags site itself.
