God Hates Figs

Click for larger, more readable, version. HT to John Lynch. From students counter-protesting the Westboro Baptist Church protest Monday against the University of Chicago, the Chicago Theological Seminary (CTS), and the University of Chicago Law School’s employment of Barack Obama. Another highlight making the rounds, the Frat Boys vs Westboro Baptist Church video. Dan Savage:

You gotta love the sign that reads “NO Tolerance for INtolerance” and the social progress evidenced by the fact that these are fraternity boys out there dancing around in their underwear to protest homophobia.

NBC Chicago notes other signs students came up with… “God Hates It When You Don’t Call” and “Thank God for 7-11.”

    As both a devout Christian and a supporter of gay rights, I love this counter protest.

    While I am hardly a Biblical scholar, I think the folks at Westboro will be surprised when they show up in a lot warmer place than they expected.

    I suspect many of your readers are closeted figgots. I have been 'out' for years. My family knows I love figs and that I can't help it. There's no accounting for taste, and I love them, even knowing the Good Book warns of dire consequences.

    Great video and the proper reception for the Westboro hate-mongers.

    They'll probably end up in a large bowl of figgy pudding.

    See the conspiracy? The best Christmas songs were written by jews and one of them, actually demands that we be brought figgy pudding. Ignoring that fact that Jesus was a figaphobe!

    Oh the humanity!
