Westboro Baptist Church Shops at T-Shirt Hell

[devilschaplain2]

Okay, I was looking for pictures for a collage of mine and stumbled upon a photo of the Westboro Baptist Church wielding their moronic and offensive signs, when suddenly I spotted this:

Now, try to look closely at the cult member who's holding the "Fags Are Beasts" sign. See the shirt? Kinda looks like this, doesn't it?

Now, I don't know if I should be upset that they have a shirt of mine or delighted that they're dumb enough to shop at a site with other shirts like this:

Aww, did you get your free hug? I would've to see how much love burns them when they are in its presence.

Silly fundies.

Surely, you're not suggesting fundie Christians would cherrypick the parts of something that suit their personal message, whilst ignoring everything in the source that runs directly contrary to it?

Irony and sarcasm. Two concepts fundies can't grasp. Much like logic, reason, science...

Not just cherrypicking, but actually giving a company like that money. That's the part that reinforces my idea that they're just attention whores who may or may not actually hate gays.

Or, that they're tunnel-visioned fuckwits who'd happily throw a quid to Tom The Divil in the name of their pointless crusade.

Totally see your point, though. I've been rolling the notion of Phelps et al as IRL trolls around for a while now, and it does kinda fit, apart from the stories of the escapees. Bit much to arrange stories of physical abuse to be disseminated into the public domain for the lulz. The notion that the just plain and simple hate gays, and the bible is a handy fig-leaf rings pretty true, though.
