"I don’t want to speak out of frustration, but I’ve got to be honest, I don’t like how Christianity is represented, and I don’t like how some churches are pointing the finger at people, rather than loving, trying to understand or listen to them. I saw on the news that Westboro Baptist Church had posters saying things like, “All Fags Go To Hell’, and that blew my mind. It made me so angry: No wonder people look at the church and laugh because there are a bunch of clowns taking scripture out of context. God is love and the Bible is a love story; calling people “faggots” and saying they are going to hell is a complete misrepresentation, and I have a big problem with that. Promoting hate has no part in faith. Us judging people is not what it is about, at all"
