Fred Phelps: I did it, God!
I hated all the fags!
God: Fags, Phelps. FAGS.
It's a term for a cigarette.
God: Over six million deaths a year due to tobacco-related illness!
God: FAGS! FAGS! I HATE FAGS!
God: RRAAAAAAA
Actually, ‘fag ’ was a term used in English Public Schools (private) of new entrants who would act as servants for senior boys. At its best it gave them protection and mentoring , at its worst it was open to all kinds of abuse including sexual. This is why ’fag’ IS a term for homosexual. This is not by way of judgement, just by way of explanation And please don’t say that homosexuality is not the same as paedophilia. If you’ve suffered in an English Public School, you will know that there is considerable overlap.
Not only is nicotine highly addictive (chemically, it fits way too well into neuronal receptors known in fact as “nicotinic” receptors), but the industry has found and used additives to enhance its addictive properties, so once you start it is FAR harder for you to stop. (As my late sister-in-law learned to her detriment.) There’s a reason why the industry has fought any attempt to reveal its ingredients. That, and of course, that most of them are poison above and beyond their carcinogenic properties, e.g., ammonia.
Genome: George would also have launched into further examples of linguistic interpretations, with far greater wisdom than Phelps ever displayed, and actually, a much kinder view of the “human condition”.
On nicotine: a great insecticide in a sulfur compound, and one of the most addictive substances humans use, but not as lethal as meth or opiates, even though not a “good thing”. It DOES make a great poultice for injuries however when used externally, and the Native Americans knew.
“Faith” in what Phelps preached however, is perhaps an example of the most dangerous addiction of certain mentally unstable individuals, in several variations by different sects of the “bible religions”. Some of course know it simply as “hate”.
As an Androphilic male, myself; it really angers me when people assume that homosexuality equates with Paedophilia. I know a woman who was the the victim of a paedophile ring in a small town. She was often abused by her grandfather along with other male mambers of the family. Thankfully, she is now a happily married mother of two and her past abusers have been punished.

Possibly because of human stupidity, and stubbornness in the face of all of the facts?

I don’t think Matt was smoking fags when he penned this one…

The left hates cigarettes about as much as they love drugs.
