**UPDATE: A YouTube video I linked earlier today with a guy singing a song about how "God hates fags" has been pulled, but here's the profile page of whoever uploaded it: http://www.youtube.com/user/donniedavies

I like how the userpic/icon/whatever on the profile page says "God hates censorship!"

Even funnier? The comment left on that page: "Your hate-spew video has been removed...

Praise God."

P.P.S.: Apparently you can still view the homosexual self-hate? fundie satire? video here.
