In her latest episode of Gagavision, Lady Gaga posts video of a fundamentalist Christian protester outside her concert.

The man waves a sign that says "Trust in Christ or end in Hell" and as he tells Gaga that she's going to Hell, Gaga responds, "Well they better open up the gates!"

Adds the Fundie: "Your pervert ways don't really equate to what God is all about....Yeah, you know, the homo stuff."

Says Gaga, later: "What I'm trying to understand is, there's 3,000 people standing in my line, and nobody standing in your line. Who's going to hell? I think what's so confusing is why he printed up these things - it's a 'get out of hell free' card. If it was so easy get out of hell, why don't we just print up a bunch of these guys? Just makes me sad that my fans have to see that, but I know that it's just part of what I'm supposed to do.''

The political part of the video starts at about 2:20

1. I don't really like her music, but
the more and more I see of her outside her concerts, I think maybe she should run for office, because I lover her politics.

3. i know. he says catholicism is the screwed up religion? who's to say his religion
isn't the screwed up one. personally, having been raised in a catholic house, i think they are all pretty insane. but him calling catholics insane is like a ted bundy calling the son of sam the insane one.... they were both serial killers.....

9. most talented people in contemporary pop culture
What does that have to do with Lady Gaga? (sorry, couldn't resist)


You might be right... if they're not burning Dixie Chicks Albums.

10. Yes, it is nice to see.
Instead of having a bunch of pasty, white, overfed, racist, homophobes who speak very poor English on your side.

As far as Lady Gaga is concerned, I don't love or hate her music, but she seems pretty smart. Seemed to destroy that guys argument in only a few sentences.

8. you know what? Unless you're going to unload a cannonade of verbal firepower on these clowns

just ignore them. She did not owe him one minute of time to say his piece. Why she gave it is beyond me. It made her look weak and unfamiliar with the proper rhetoric to throw back in their teeth.

He spends money, materials and time to design and print up a "get out of hell" card for someone he "doesn't care about".

He is a liar. And it's not about religion--it's about him forcing his view of religion on people and judging where their souls will end up because he's mad that they choose not to follow him. I really don't think jesus is giving 2 minutes of a fuck today about this guy and his "soul winning" activites.

12. Maybe she believes, as I do, that "silence is consent."
I find it hard to keep my mouth shut because it isn't about whether or not the assholes change their mind, it's about letting them know that I believe they are grossly mistaken.
