Westboro Baptist Church releases 'God hates the world'

The Westboro Baptist Church, famous for its open condemnation of Christians, Jews, and Muslims – as well as just about everyone else under the sun – is up to its old tricks, once again. In their latest act of absurdity, members of this de facto cult have posted an interpolation of the 1985 hit “We are the World”, entitled “God Hates the World” on YouTube.

Based in Topeka, Kansas, this self-identified religious organization – a classification that virtually anyone else would sharply, and rightfully, refute – is headed by Fred Phelps, a man who is, ironically, a disbarred civil rights attorney.

Phelps has made headlines many times over the years, particularly for propagating truly venomous anti-homosexual statements; back in 1998, along with members of his “church”, Phelps actually demonstrated outside the funeral of Matthew Shepard, who died at age 21 after being tortured to death by two men because he was gay.

As a strong believer in free speech, it is my personal opinion that members of the Westboro Baptist Church have a God-given, constitutionally-protected right to say whatever they want, and in the process, they are also free to demonstrate to the rest of the world how truly moronic, idiotic and frankly, sadistic these people are.

Following are select lyrics from the clip, which is embedded below for anyone wishing to view it:

Evil world, you’ve come together as one

See your soldiers dying

Oh, you claim God’s blessing you

That lie, the greatest lie of all

You can’t go on, pretending day by day

That the God of judgment is dead and gone

You are all a part of the Devil’s family

And the truth, you’re all headed straight to hell

God hates the world, and all her people

You, everyone, face a fiery day for your proud sinning

It’s too late to change His mind; you lived out your vain lives

Storing up God’s wrath for all eternity

    Youtube actually removed "God hates the world" from the internet, and justifiably so.

    For once, copyright laws have meaning.

    when you say from the internet I think you mean from youtube. The WBC hosts this music video along with numerous others on their own site.

    Westboro Baptist Church needs to get a grip. I am black and Christian, and if you people try to call yourselves Christians then you should know that God will always love the world and all that inhabit it. I go to Sidwell Friends School and I think that if you freaks think that you need to protest outside SCHOOLS, then you have some serious problems and need to be in a mental institution. (No offense to people in intsitutions or people who are mentally retarded.) You guys need to be more open to other people opinions and differences, or go find youurself another planet and leave us alone. You freaks aren't really a church; you're bigots who are hiding behind the church! Do us all a favor and leave us alone!

    And now a tribe to the late Will Smith :(

    In west Philadelphia born and raised
    On the playground was where I spent most of my days
    Chillin' out maxin' relaxin' all cool
    And all shootin some b-ball outside of school
    When a couple of guys
    Who were up to no good
    Startin making trouble in my neighborhood
    I got in one little fight and my mom got scared
    She said 'You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel Air'

    I whistled for a cab and when it came near
    The license plate said fresh and it had dice in the mirror
    If anything I can say is that this cab was rare
    But I thought 'Man forget it' - 'Yo home to Bel Air'

    I pulled up to the house about seven or eight
    And I yelled to the cabbie 'Yo homes smell ya later'
    I looked to my kingdom
    I was finally there
    To sit on my throne as the Prince of Bel Air

    Not a religion? What the hell does that mean? It's religion alright. What else would make them believe such stupid nonsense? It's just that their stupid nonsense is not socially acceptable.
