God Hates Nerds Update

As a graduate in Religious Studies there was no way I could let this story alone, especially with the presence of a Bible quote that you would think would in some way support the Phelps' belief that geeks will go to hell. Well, I got out my Bible and looked up Romans 9.13 (after having reading it at first as Romulans, my inner Trekkie is strong), and..

'As the scritpure says, "I loved Jacob, but I hated Esau."'
- Romans 9.13.

So, yeah, what does this have to do with the sin of reading a comic book? Nothing. The whole passage of Romans 9 is about how God chose the people he wanted to lead Israel and His people. Come on Westboro, just let these people be! There is nothing wrong with like minded people meeting up to discuss their favourite comics/games/manga/anime, getting the chance to meet their idols and all while dressed as superheroes and school girls




Then again...
