Preacher-baiting symbolized

| »

Now I’m aggravated on any number of levels.

Gay couple kissing passionately before preacher with sandwich sign proclaiming: “REPENT: Fornicators, Homosexuals, Liars, Thieves, Masturbators, Obama Voters, Buddhists, Dirty Dancers, Hindus, Gangster Rappers, Muslims, Drunkards, Feminists, Immodest Women, Democrats, Liberals, Evolutionists, Atheists, Potheads, Sodomites: HELL AWAITS YOU!”
Yeah, I’m also shocked he managed to spell “Atheists” correctly.

Let’s count them:

1) Dude, you could totally be grabbing your lover’s ass to increase the SHOCKHORROR factor for the preacher. Why miss the opportunity?

2) I’m concerned to note how I only fit into five of the aforementioned evil categories of sinfulness – “Masturbators” (hell yeah!), “Obama Voters” (I’m a pro-Obama Canadian, so it counts), “Liberals”, “Evolutionists” and “Atheists”. What kind of an evil baby-munching godless hedonistic bastard am I if I only piss God off at a tepid rate of 25%? Maybe when I’m older I can add “Fornicators” to my count, make it a round 30%. *sighs*

3) Interesting how, apparently, crimes such as smoking pot, voting for Obama and believing in Evolution are greater and deserve priority sign space over other little misdemeanors such as rape, murder or arson … Christian morality, truly.

… Okay, so I’m only offended on three levels. Hmph.
