God Hates Nerds.
I once had the displeasure of seeing a Poetry Slam. More than one poem made reference to Fred Phelps, who — in cayse you don’t know — is kind of merely an extreme example of homophobia and not representative of anything much. International media have been known to reference the “Westboro Baptist Church” as though it were more than it is.
A blast brought to you by Fred Phelps and the “Westboro Baptist Church”.
Are you kidding?! If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here.
They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do!
Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not.
It is time to put away the silly vanities and turn to God like you mean it. The destruction of this nation is imminent – so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry.
And with that, Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church, so-called, will stand about outside the San Diego Convention center and picket the largest of comic book — and “pop culture” — nerd conventions.
It’s about time somebody took to task the whole line about creating “New Mythology” — like, those Silver Age DC Superman Gorilla-themed comics are definitely tapping Homer.
… and uncover the whole secret alternative lifestyles activities — how gay marriage will lead to other marriages and perpetuating the Gay Agenda.
… and all.
… and all.
… and all.
On the other hand, Fred Phelps’s God is about as vidictive and fascist and demanding as Superman has been  over the years.
Anyway… You know, Phelps is in danger of falling into self parody.
