Many years ago I saw the sign some overly enlightened Christian man was holding up at some sort of rally or protest that read “God Hates Fags”. While it’s clearly not a laughing matter, I could not help but chuckle at this man’s ability to put words into MY God’s mouth and taint an entire religion all with 3 words.
God did say “Esau I have hated”. Esau was a wicked sort and a married man. There is no reference to him being gay, but I wonder if this scripture is what emboldens people to write “God hates Fags” on their signs because Malachi 1 is referenced on some of them. That would be a ” SPIN”, which we see a lot in political circles. The word of God being SPUN ! Let’s just say God does hate gay people. Would God appreciate the word “FAG” being used in HIS name? While I cannot say for sure, I would just bet not. God said pretty clearly he HATES DIVORCE. Yet, I just don’t see a lot of signs protesting DIVORCEES…….. I don’t even know for a fact that homosexuality is a sin. But let’s just pretend it is, for the moment. All sins are equal, right? How many 5 year olds tell a little lie when they spill grape juice on the new couch? Where are the ” God Hates KINDERGARTNERS” signs?
The Bible to me is a two fold book . Old Testament being more of a historical reference to see what went on back then and to see sort of the foundations for Judaism. A Christian who believes in Jesus and follows him, need only read and remember the New Testament. The overwhelming message in the new testament is LOVE and LOVE and LOVE. Jesus didn’t turn anyone away from him. If hard line ultra religious right folks truly believe homosexuality is a SIN, then they themselves are sinning by NOT praying for and encircling with LOVE the ‘sinners’.
Also there is the whole DONT JUDGE but I’ve been on that soapbox before.

So while looking for the sign I saw before , Google had hundreds of new and similar and even more disturbing signs.
Would God hate a mother teaching a 5 year old what anal sex is? Apparently NOT, look at her gleeful expression while her child holds stick figure pornography IN GOD’S NAME ! So many of these signs are held by young children. It’s sickening ! Even if you believe it to be a sin, you are not to taunt and hate. You are to fall on your knees , open your Bible and pray for their deliverance.
As Christians, we are to spread the word and be a ‘light’ to others. Can you imagine someone who’s never known a Christian and the first one they ever see is carrying one of these signs? That’s a pretty lame endorsement for how great our religion is. I believe “Jesus wept” when he saw these signs and the hearts of the Christians who carry them, especially those having their innocent children carry them and teach them the ways of HATE.








“As you may know, biblical ignorance is an epidemic in the United States. A recent study quoted by Dr. Peter Gomes in The Good Book found that 38 percent of Americans polled were certain the Old Testament was written a few years after Jesus’ death.
Over the centuries people who misunderstood or misinterpreted the Bible have done terrible things. The Bible has been misused to defend bloody crusades and tragic inquisitions; to support slavery, apartheid, and segregation; to persecute Jews and other non-Christian people of faith; to support Hitler’s Third Reich and the Holocaust; to oppose medical science; to condemn interracial marriage; to execute women as witches; and to support the Ku Klux Klan. Shakespeare said it this way: “Even the devil can cite Scripture for his purpose.”SOURCE
As a confused and often sin filled Christian I am here to say SHAME ON YOU! And to the gay community, please forgive them, they KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO!
