Mother of all that is holy. So, I was just going to write this up as an amusing little story about some douchey reverend getting his panties in a twitch over Lady Gaga. Then I googled this guy, Rev. Fred Phelps, and now I’m so angry I might bite and claw at this piece of crap “man of God” if I ever saw him. Rev. Phelps is the guy who leads that backwoods congregation of idiots, the Westboro Baptist Church, who protest dead soldiers’ funerals, because Rev. Phelps thinks soldiers are dying in the battlefield because of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” military policy. Rev. Phelps is also the guy who actually thinks there’s a passage in the Bible that reads “God Hates F-gs” and thus, Rev. Phelps’ congregation puts that on signs and screams it at the mourning family members of American soldiers slain in battle. Some of his other favorite sayings are “Thank God for Dead Soldiers”, “America Is Doomed” and “Priests Rape Boys”.

So, yeah. This isn’t just some random wingnut trying to get a quick press hit off Lady Gaga’s name. Phelps is a professional hate-monger, and is considered a very dangerous piece of work. And now he’s set his sights on Gaga, and he even wrote up a press release about how Gaga has a “whore’s forehead” and he mocks “this particular hussy’s pretentious prancing.” Sounds like someone’s got a crush!

Thou hadst a whore’s forehead, thou refusedst to be ashamed…Will He reserve HIs anger forever? Will he keep it to the end? Behold, thou hast spoken and done evil things as thou couldest.” Jer 3:3,5

“Art” and “fashion” are the euphemisms, the guise under which proud whore Lady Gaga teaches rebellion against God (incidentally, her claim to the title of “lady” is sound only if she tacks on “of the night,” thereby alluding to another euphemism of what she is.)

As much as she’d like to pretend otherwise, there’s nothing new or different about this particular hussy’s pretentious prancing. Does the simple slut truly think that she can change God’s standards by seducing a generation of rebels into joining her in fist-raised, stiff-necked, hard-hearted rebellion against Him? Get real!

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. She hates you!

“For when they speak great swelling words of vanity, they allure through the lusts of the flesh, through much wantonness…While they promise them liberty, they themselves are the servants of corruption!” 2 Pet. 2:18-19

YOU’RE GOING TO HELL.

[From Rev. Fred Phelps’s press release, via Huffington Post]

I like the all-caps “you’re going to hell.” My response? “Yr doin it wrong.” But seriously, this is about Gaga’s huge gay following, and her out-spoken support of the gay community (her fan base). And that’s sad. Let the gays have their divas! Is Rev. Phelps going to issue press releases about Cher and Barbara Streisand? Perish the thought. In all seriousness, though, I love the First Amendment and everything, but Rev. Phelps shouldn’t be allowed to speak. He’s crazy.
