Frank talk about those Westboro bigots!

The Brooklyn Paper

Frank Hoier read our coverage of the Westboro Baptist Church bigots, so the Bard of Columbia Street (yes, he moved) wrote his new hit, “Talkin’ Westboro Baptist Church Comes to Brooklyn Blues” for this week’s “Rhythm and News” feature.

Take it away, Frank.

Mary from Raleigh, NC says:

The Phelps family is doing nothing more than telling you what the Bible says with signs. It's not all about love and mercy and forgiveness. Jesus talks more about Hell than He does Heaven, and in no uncertain terms He said that He will send unrepentant sinners there. For example:

"The Son of Man (Jesus) shall send forth his angels, and they shall gather out of his kingdom all things that offend, and them which do iniquity; and shall cast them into a furnace of fire: there shall be wailing and gnashing of teeth." (Matthew 13:41-42)

Does that sound like love? Not to me. It sounds like visceral hatred. You probably didn't know this because your money-loving preacher won't tell you ... and face it, half of you out there read at a 6th grade level, so you are never going to pick up a Bible.
