Lady Gaga is going to hell, or so says America's most vocal hatemonger Pastor Fred Phelps.

Phelps is the leader of the Westboro Baptist Church which is more commonly known as the "God Hates Fags" group. Lady Gaga apparently drew Phelps' ire with her statement at the American Music Awards "Bless God and Bless the Gays".

Phelps has now announced that he'll be bringing his special brand of crazy to the Lady Gaga concert in St. Louis, Missouri on January 7th. Lady Gaga is performing at the Fabulous Fox Theater in St. Louis as part of her 'Monster Ball' tour.

A press release entitled "God Hates Lady Gaga" announced an official protest of Lady Gaga's St. Louis concer refers to Lady Gaga as a "sleazy God-hater" and went on to say:

"Even as she gives lip service to 'liberating' her young fans, Lady Gaga brings them into slavery to their own corruption, teaching them to glory in their shame."

In the past, members of the Westboro Baptist Church have protested outside the funerals of fallen troops with signs reading "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God Hates America".

    it seems that baptist always have something to say .but everything they have to say is negative in one way or another .what makes them so special.they hate this they hate that i think they hate everything.so why are they so godly to themselves .i strongly believe that they are the worlds biggest fashion show hypocrits.they are against anything that isnt in there interests .in my opinion they suck.religion is just a word for profits .they have dating sights rap music anything to attract young people into there layer.for the sole purpose of generating profits.

    C'mon Exodus... deep down u know u can embrace her creativity. What you should be doing is preaching to all those COKE heads and make them repent and accept Jesus in their lives. This is just for show. Stop living im the past!

    what a load of crap, Lady GaGa is an inspiration to people, wherever the afterlife is she will be in a wonderfull place

  • Matt S. 2 years ago

    the article words itself to make the Baptists reformers seem horrible, but in reality, the article is very correct. Lady GaGa is NOT a "God Hater" through quoting her as "god bless god and the gays." All she is doing is liberating all of her beliefs and showcasing the power of liberation from ones self -- she demonstrates true morals although she refers to the gay community.

    god hates the new internets, the iphones, ipods, and the musics in generally and ur all going to burn in...

    give me a break if there is a perfect god(which i don't believe there is) then is he really gonna send all of us to hell for enternity because we didn't believe a book which historians consider fictional(bible)

    Fred Phelps is the real whore here. An 80 year old worthless crazy senile dumbshit Attention Whore

    telling someone that there going to burn in hell isnt right
    and who told you that you decide who goes to hell or heaven

  • Michael Lopez 2 years ago

    wow religion is fukced up especially these ignorant radicals disturbing the peace, they are bashing someone for expressing themselves to the fullest via the 1st amendment freedom of press, speech etc the basics she creates a space and atmosphere for evryone of her fans to let their spirit loose be themselves, watch suicide rates and styff that affects teens lately like depression or suicide will decrease thanks to Lady GaGa. She is like a mom to all her fans, someone to look up to when needed and feeling down she releases us via her music and this Fred Phelps should create a program to find a way how to get kids off the streets out of gangs and into school workplaces and extra ciricular activities not pointing the finger at someone who has not stirred serious controversy like a drunk Mel Gibson, he does not agree with her sexual preference fine leave it as that but do not condemm as if you are a high power, man these old people usually cause the probelms

    Sad to think that this f*#kwhit is allowed to open the large hole in his face and excrete such rubbish. If you are a member of "God's family" as the church puts it, you would welcome everyone with open arms and not say such hateful, uneducated things. Sometimes I hate religion for the things its representatives come out with, irrespective of beliefs. There's enoguh hate in the world without people like that adding to it.

    There's a beautiful afterlife awaiting lady gaga in the far future. It takes a real person to stand up for what they believe in. And God gave us our body to live in it everyday as if it was our last. And NO ONE can condemn anyone to hell.

  • Rebecca 2 years ago

    shes doing nothing wrong. why dont u write about people who are actually hurting others. id really like to know how her life effects u at all. f*cked up.

  • Nicole 2 years ago

    Wow, I can believe how wrong "a man of God" could be. God doesn't hate anyone. Hating is a sin, so I really doubt God, who is perfect, would sin. And Gaga does not hate God, if she did then why would she thank him in her acceptance speech. She's a better person than this Phelps guy. She doesn't believe in hating, yet this guy wants people to hate her. The Baptist religion is really whacked-up. I'm so glad that I'm a Catholic, because my mind is not warped, by this ludicrous idea, that God hates.

    How lovely! Thanks so much for stirring up so much controversy and helping Lady GaGa sell even more records you mother fu**ers. What, they couldn't protest my shows? I am the original let us not forget. That bitch plays second fiddle to ME! It's UNBELIEVABLE and INFURIATES ME that these people would pay so much attention to some girl who has only had like 4 HITS. I've been in this business for 25 YEARS. I am in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame. I am Madonna! These people need to get their priorities straight. If they're going to protest someone it should be ME. I ignite REAL controversy. I am the original Whore of Babylon! Not some flash in the pan from Yonkers for god's sake. This is truly an insult to my integrity as an artist and a provocateur. She is the generic version of ME. Can't they get that through their fu**ing heads? The next time you think about going on some protest and witch hunt mother fu**ers it had better be ME. Unfuckingbelievable! Thanks for nothing you inbred A-HOLES!

  • honey im home 2 years ago

    i don't think God 'hates' lady gaga, otherwise that defeats the purpose of being God, who is forgiving and doesn't 'hate'. He cannot hate someone for being who they are, I think they're being a bit extreme on her but they are right about homosexual fans "bringing them into slavery to their own corruption, teaching them to glory in their shame". In a religious view, that is correct. Unfortunately, people are the way they are, you can't just hate a homosexual for being who they are, but if they feel proud about it, then there's reason to think they will go to hell unless they change their opinion. I'm sure there are homoexual christians who don't feel proud to be who they are but can you really blame them?

  • Just my opinion....... 2 years ago

    If God regrets creating any of his creatures it would most likely be Gaga. She is hideous in every sense of the world. She is talented, but she is teaching her young impressionable fans way too much vulgar actions way too soon. She is just another manufactured popstar for those who don't buy into the cookie cutter mold. I would just like to add that this woman should not be considered a role model for anyone to follow. To think that people make Gaga out to be some saint while she simulates masturbation on stage, swears every few words on stage and talks about having sex and doing drugs and smoking on stage. All the while she is marketed towards children. It is crazy that parents pay for their kids to go see this show and think she is empowering. when all she is showing is how to be a attention whore. Not a strong woman at all. What a stupid society we live in where everyone is brainwashed.

  • Just my opinion....... 2 years ago

    There are people out there who say how bad someone like Miley Cyrus is for kids, but Miley is a angel compared to this person. Ican't believe that parent groups are ok with all this artist represents. "I'm Bluffin with my muffin" or "I wanna take a ride on your disco stick. Do any of you know what these phrases really mean? Or is ignorance just bliss and you parents don't care? It used to be that at least the popstars geared towards kids were playful about all the sexuality in their material. Now however, it is blatently in your face. No wonder stds are the most common among high school students right after prostitutes.Can you believe that? Second only to sex trade workers! You all are raising a bunch of dirty children who will grow into useless adults. Unless we take the blinders off........ which nobody will do.

  • I agree 2 years ago

    I allso think that lady gaga will burn in hell, only the ungodly
    will not think so.nothing she does is positive the bible is real
    and if you take the time to read it little by little it speaks of things
    that's not right she is an example of that.I know that the pastor
    and I should not have said burn in hell but it more of an anger
    has to what the music industry is pertraying people look up to
    artist has role model,and her is just demonic.we are in the last
    days sex and drugs will always be around why not look into
    something else that is greater than those things I'm not perfect
    I might even burn in hell but I know won't get brain washed by
    negative behavior from lada gaga and her music and video it
    should not even be on tv.the world is currupt lessbian and gays
    are getting out of order she seem to pull allot of these people
    with her music the bible speak of sexual immortaly in revelations
    meaning useing sex wrongfully you figure out the rest! God bless
    us all.

  • I agree 2 years ago

    is the paster perfect?he is trying to go to heaven like the rest of us.
    So there forth shouldnt he not speak of the things thats not right.who
    disagree is probably not a believer of god, how can you love lady gaga
    some fans go over the extreme for there fans,they are just normal people
    like you and me,so I can't love them.I was never that excited about celebrities
    because I feel like I'm a celbrity too.so I don't care for them that much.all I'm
    saying if you are going to listen to her music do it with caution she can be toxic
    unless you are strong minded like me.she can be a bad influence to the younger
    light headed generation,that why we are saying all these things about her,we care
    for our young generation,because the adults that choose to follower her cannot be
    tamed it's to late.example gays and lessbian,so why not stop these confuse youth
    from unclean artist.and no I'm not old but very strong minded.

    Everyone knows that these religious fanatics are all nuts! and how does anyone know if there really is a god, or a heaven and hell? i dont think so. all these religious whackos are out 4 is your money!

  • rawr 2 years ago

    Lady Gaga is fine. This all goes to show the insanity of religious lunatics. If you believe someone is going to hell for saying "Bluffing with my Muffin", you are mentally defective. Hell does not exist, God does not exist, and to believe God would give a damn one way or the other is stupidity at its pinnacle. People are not blinded for listening to her, they are just not retarded cowards who are afraid of their own delusional fantasies.

    That is so mean!

  • Me 2 years ago

    As I read some comments I realized how ridiculous many of you sound by saying that Lady Gaga is going to hell.
    If "God" hated soldiers, Lady Gaga, gays etc...doesn't that completely contradict that "god" has unconditional love for EVERYONE?! Its simply a case of people being scared or shocked by something new. When Marilyn Manson came around people did the same thing because OH MY he was different and its BAD!? So what, she likes the company of girls, and guys. She has insane taste in clothing and seriously....Bluffin with my Muffin is hardly a bad line in a song as most of her songs have a heavy techno beat at times you cannot fully understand what she says at that moment. People then going on about her lyrics and the meanings and how perverted or sexually explict they may be. Does anyone remember Britney? Or the phase Christina Aguleria went through? People only target her because of her status and being different. The religious fanatics just need to stop it.

  • Me 2 years ago

    I also thought the church was suppose to love everyone and accept everyone for who they are? Reasons I DON'T go. They preach of love and acceptance yet they critisize and shun her for being different.

  • LilMonster 2 years ago

    If lady gaga goes to hell then all of us are going to hell, your judging her right now! and doesnt god say that is a sin? hello? and that preist will go to hell because he's trying to send her away & he's apart of a church which acording to what I know from the bible is that God loves all of his creatures no matter what & that its unconditional.

  • lol 2 years ago

    Lilmonster god didn't say that judging other people is a sin, it just says judge not lest ye be judged. which just means if you judge other people they will judge you back.

    not that i believe in the magic skyman but still

    I'm still the LA Rock aexaminer. Wow!! You get so many comments. Whatever your views on Lady Gaga's afterlife, this stunt has been pulled in the past. When the Sex Pistols came through town, a documentary called DOA followed them through Texas where one of the people said, "Your name doesn't have to be rotten, it can be beautiful!" All the while they handed out tracts.

    The Christian Taliban are adamant in their efforts to claim the deity is an unadulterated murderous a-hole.

    One can only wonder why "men made in his image" are put behind bars for the same behavior while their guy in the sky is idolized for his.

    Thanks to the global efforts of these bible blessed American evan-genitals on parade internationally, the US has been rewarded with violent resistance by the world who is watching the US bigots' "spread of freedom" to advertise and pimp their deity as a weapon of mass destruction.
