The Lake of Fire

During Alberta's recent provincial election, much controversy swirled around an unsuccessful right-wing Wildrose candidate and Christian pastor who wrote a blog post saying that all gays will burn in a "lake of fire" for eternity. He also called the Edmonton Public School Board "profane" and "wicked" for its anti-bullying policy to protect sexual minority students and staff.

So, needless to say, here's the hottest T-shirt at Edmonton's Pride Festival this year:

  2. Dang, Debra, I was having a nice morning till I read this. We have our Rev. Phelps (Westboro Baptist Church) here in Kansas. He pickets funerals with the same hate messages. Shame on these sick men. And, pity those the weak minded sheep that follow their hate filled messages. I'm off to meditate, I need it...ommmmmm

  9. more christians at work with their bigoted, hateful ways...would Jesus feel the same way about gay people?
    I mean wasn’t that mary magdalene story all about excepting all people regardless. too bad the bible didn’t have a story about Jesus having one of the disciples being gay...

  12. I don't understand why people feel the need to say such hateful things about other people. It makes no sense to me.

  15. I was born in Cleveland, where the river burned, so I get extra special excited when a lake burns. I'd get a t-shirt for that one, too.

  16. I can't wait to see those people meet their maker - the kind who completely ignore what Jesus said about not judging others, and spew hate because people love each other.

  17. Okay, so I had something fiery and profound to say, but now I can't stop staring at Riot Kitty...

    Every time I read of people who claim a love a merciful god say that the ones who don't think like them will burn, I smile not so friendly and remember that what goes around comes around.

  18. Love the t-shirt. Want to toss the pastor in a lake. I imagine that is a common feeling. I really love that someone turned this around though - clever!

  25. Mark Twain said to visit Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company. I'm looking foward to the trip, and mingling with all of you fine people.

    Bigoted idiot preachers will be damned to eternity with their own kind. I can't think of a more cruel and hopeless a fate.
