HATE GROUP THE Westboro Baptist Church, known for picketing the funerals of dead US soldiers, says that “God Hates Ireland” after yesterday’s historic referendum.
The group reacted to Ireland passing same-sex marriage in predictable fashion, launching an offensive missive against both the country and gay people.
They say that Ireland’s hate speech laws have “eliminated any true gospel preaching” in the country.
They even tweeted their signature “God Hates” sign, but seem confused about the order and orientation of the colours on the Irish flag.
The 39-member church from Topeka, Kansas says that Ireland is led by “dogs” and has become a “cesspool of corruption”.
(This passage contains some language that some people will find offensive).
“While only about 10% of the population of Ireland are fags or dykes, the other 90% are most assuredly their soul-condemning enablers. The old preachers used to say fag-enablers are worse than fags because fag-enablers support the filthy beasts calling themselves gay, and they don’t even have the excuse of being prisoner to a vile lust.
Romans 1:32 Who knowing the judgment of God, that they which commit such things are worthy of death, not only do the same, but have pleasure in them that do them. Ireland is a land of vile, feces-eaters and anus lickers and those who have pleasure in them – all of whom are abominations to God and headed for Hell. Deal with it!”
Irish people on Twitter, however, were having none of it.

I’d say most of them would fail to pick it out on a map
Are you joking – they don’t give a fup about NI
There are 60 million people living in mainland Britain. Why would the north with 1.5 million be front and centre or anywhere near the top of their priorities?
@John Mulligan: why should SF change for DUPs benefit? DUP backed a hard BREXIT in the hope of breaking the close link with the Republic from the GFA. If anybody has to change its the DUP to reflect the changing political climate in the North
To most people in Britain, Northern Ireland is just a giant pain in the butt. A running sore that needs cortorising and gone from their life’s ASAP.
The Tories don’t give a flying feck about NI.
Funniest thing I’ve read all week. NI isn’t even in the back of the mind of those that are looking to become ty next Tori leader. When will those in NI realise they are a thorn in the side of the mainland.
@Jason Walsh: Mainland? What about the aisle of Wight?
@John Mulligan: Dear John, that comes across as a very entrenched and one sided view. When Michelle O’Neill laid a wreath at the war memorial in Belfast last week to honour the Unionist war dead, she was really poking them in the eye, you say.
and yesterday when she attending a Muslim festival in Belfast and spoke about celebrating all the rainbow colours that make up society in the north as that society is no longer one of Orange and Green, she was really poking unionists in the eye you say?
Wise up there John before you are left behind with the DUP!
@John Mulligan: you’re spot on, with the two established parties of conflict as the main parties, it is harder than ever to agree on thinks. People voted for change for voting for the Aliance party. People are sick of green v orange
have your say
