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
