A fascinating little clip, courtesy of Warren Ellis’ blog, of a video from Westboro Baptist Church. (The “God Hates Fags” crew) They got together to sing a song called “God Hates The World,” to the tune of “We Are The World.” It’s morbidly fascinating – you don’t get to see real, unabashed dystheism in the world very often. They aren’t even preaching “repent or else;” the message is very clear, God hates you and everybody else, nothing you can do will change it, he’s going to burn everyone in Hell.
It’s sort of like seeing the cultists of the Elder Gods from H. P. Lovecraft come to life; their god is going to wake up and destroy the world, but presumably they’re still worshipping him so that they’ll be eaten last?
Perhaps, rather, they wish to be eaten first and spared the torture of a no-longer so ravenous Elder God savoring its meal? 🙂
You totally took the thoughts from my head. I have to admit, the last bit was so horrible I wanted to scream. I just can’t believe that people believe such hatred.
You certainly have the right icon for the occasion, though. 🙂
“Dystheism” is an awesome word.
