Yesterday, while ridiculing those who believe a supernatural being sent a tornado to Minneapolis because of TEH GAYS!!!, PZ Myers said:
It seems, if you look at the conference schedule, that the liberal Lutherans were contemplating making some friendly statements about their gay congregants, so obviously this was an example of gentle smiting of sodomites.
Of course, also on the schedule were bible study and hymn singing — god hates “Onward Christian Soldiers”. And a middle school in North Branch — god hates education. It knocked down many trees — god hates elms.
God hates elms. What a great idea for a t-shirt, I thought. Some commenters on PZ’s site also thought so, so a friend and I whipped one up:
You can purchase it in a variety of styles and colors.
And if you have any other ideas for cool t-shirts, send them my way and I’ll see what I can do.
Thats not a tornado! Its his noodly appendices whirling! Who angered the FSM? ;-)
LOL! That graphic is excellent. I may have to get one of those shirts.
selling t-shirts is an excellent idea…
Elms are sinful!!!!
I think it is all hardwoods that are evil. I mean look how many squirrels live in them and then commit suicide by car.
Actually, all trees are sinful; remember, God also hates figs and apple trees.
Yeah. If you were crucified on one you’d probably hate ‘em too.
Word.
Or, actually, God hates plants – he told Noah to take animals on the Ark, but not plants; told Cain his offerings of vegetables sucked; keeps smiting figs, elms et al.; it follows God hates flora.
he also hates the wrong kind of smoke! How about:
Don’t piss off God with your “strange fire” and all
….or else
or
Nothing pisses off God more than foreskin.
ooh, I like that. We need a Fred Phelpsian “god Hates Figs” t-shirt
Brilliant! Got to pick one of those up.
god hates gay elms!
What about “God Hates Mobile Homes” since the perception is that tornadoes seem to hit mobile home parks with great frequency. Or maybe “God Hates White Trash Living in Mobile Homes.”
God hates trailers… God hates the Heartland… God hates Kansas… God hates Chinese (see Earthquake)…God hates Mexicans…
God loves Vermont…(think about it, what the hell ever happens bad in Vermont?)…God loves atheists (we are the most intelligent of all his Earthly creatures)…
I like the God hates Elms idea…nice job!
I do see Mexicans on this list, as well as Asia:

He hates atheists but hasn’t spoken on elm trees yet.
Some years ago, after Pat Robertson reminded Orlando (who was hosting a gay pride parade and is the home of gay tolerant Disney) that they were in the path of hurricanes, the next big hurricane struck Roberson’s own Virginian Beach. I guess that god doesn’t like the 700 club.
As if this is news. If god loved elms he wouldn’t have created Dutch Elm Disease now would he?
Elms were tall, stately pines before the Fall. The tree the snake was sitting in when it tempted Eve was one of those pines. It deserved everything it got.
I’ve always wanted to get myself a T-shirt printed with the signature line I used at Julia Sweeney’s forum:
“God is dead like unicorns are extinct.”
You could make it with a picture of a fossilized unicorn.
That’s a great idea, actually.
I’d buy one. *nod*
Now I just need someone to do a cool fossilized Unicorn graphic.
Remember when Dorothy cried out, “Evil Elm, Evil Elm?” Or was that “Auntie Elm, Auntie Elm?” I forget!
Jesus did curse a fig tree-so he obviously had something against trees.
Elm tree are such whores. You know they want it.
You guys don’t get it. He’s simply testing the elms’ faith. Destroying them is his way of showing his love for them. What a loving and merciful father! ;)
I gotta say, God Hates Figs is much more clever. That said, I’ll still be buying a shirt.
If you make a God Hates Figs shirt, I will buy it.
Why has noone made a “your inane rantings confuse PZ Myers” tshirt?
obviously “God hates Gods”
