GOD HATES FAGS

I was driving along minding my own business six years ago and I'll remember it like yesterday.

There are very few events in your life that you'll remember as something that will change your course forever, the day you meet the woman you love, your wedding, the birth of your first child and the very first time a bull horn toting Bible thumper condemns you to a firey after life in the bowls of hell.

So there I was in my car, again minding my own business, when a guy by the name of Ken yelled so loud that I could hear him over The Used say in a robust southern accent, "YOU'RE HEADING TO HELL, SON!!!"

I pondered the thought deeply within my soul and drove to the nearest Wal-Mart and bought my own sign, scribbled on it "I'm With Stupid" and an arrow and followed Ken around for the better part of a day.

I've traveled and had the honor to counter protest such creeps as Peter Ruckman or Fred Phelps (www.godhatesfags.com).

I don't do it for the thrill or attention or for any grand political reason. This is not about gay rights or human rights or because I find Bible thumpers annoying...

Everytime I meet someone and they tell me that they don't feel loved and especially that they feel God doesn't love them I know its because in some part of there brain is some Bible wielding, thin tie wearing, hate filled preacher standing on there shoulder telling them they aren't worthy of God.

But when Christ walked the streets 2000 years ago he stood with, ate with and talked with people that would make Paris Hilton blush.

So again this year when Memorial Day weekend rolls along there will be thousands upon thousands of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender men and woman coming to Pensacola for one of the largest gay pride weekends in the south.

And along with them will come hundreds of hatemongers ready to condemn those people and tell them that "GOD HATES FAGS!!!" or "YOU ARE GOING TO HELL"

But I'm going to be standing there with my sign that resounds through out the ages the most pure and simple message of the Gospels and that is "God is Love"

If want to stand along with me and the others who choose to join us and spread a message of peace, love and charity you are warmly invited Click Here To RSVP.

Also, this upcoming Wednesday I'll be holding a discussion on homosexuality and the Bible. Its certain to offend many people, both conservatives and liberals, because of my opinion on the subject Click here.

I hope to see you guys soon.

Blessings,

The semi-2nd annual Factory Thanksgiving: The Anarchist Thanksgiving

Alrighty folks. I got so many comments, requests and other lower forms of begging to have a Factory Thanksgiving and so here you go!

This years theme is The Anarchist Thanksgiving. Don't have a turkey? Stuffing? Yams? No problem! Steal some... no not from Wal-Mart! From your family. Go to as many family and friends Thanksgiving parties and when you're about to leave and they give you the old "Please take some!" routine say thank you with a smile... take the whole turkey if you can!

This is the thanksgiving dinner for all the misfits so if you don't have family to celebrate with this year or if your family just royally sucks come and enjoy thanksgiving with us. The Factory is NOT finished yet but this will be a chance to get a sneak peak!

Here is the catch... you've got to RSVP to get directions. Simply RSVP and say "yes sir Rev. I'll be there rockin' my aunts tofu turkey" and I'll send you directions.

Look forward to seeing you all soon!

Blessings,

The Rev.
