Westboro Baptist Church is coming here.

What I find amusing is that many of their verses that they post in reply to the supposed wrongs of each community, are taken out of context. They are also taken from the King James Version of the Bible which at times can be hard to read with it's archaic language.

One set of passages that they use often is Deuteronomy 6:1-9

"Now these are the commandments, the statutes, and the judgments, which the LORD your God commanded to teach you, that ye might do them in the land whither ye go to possess it: 2 That thou mightest fear the LORD thy God, to keep all his statutes and his commandments, which I command thee, thou, and thy son, and thy son?s son, all the days of thy life; and that thy days may be prolonged. 3 Hear therefore, O Israel, and observe to do it; that it may be well with thee, and that ye may increase mightily, as the LORD God of thy fathers hath promised thee, in the land that floweth with milk and honey. 4 ¶ Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: 5 And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. 6 And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7 And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. 8 And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. 9 And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates. "

This set of verses is used in response to the 'debauchery of youth' and that God is punishing the children and the parents of gay children because said parents failed to do what is stated above.

What is most interesting is that, put back into context, these instructions from God are in reference to the Ten Commandments. Now I could be mistaken because my Bible is NIV, but... No where in the Ten Commandments is there a commandment that says, "THOU SHALT NOT BE GAY."

...Just sayin'.
