Westboro Baptist Church To Protest At 'Satan Worshipper' Ronnie James Dio's Funeral

They release vile statement...

 

  • The brainchild of Glenn Danzig, his band of the same name, Danzig, fuse extreme heavy metal with dark lyrics which often slam religion. 1990's 'Snakes of Christ' is case in point, screaming: “Serpent Jesus, Snake of Christ, Nailed to a cross Of a holy design... Gonna build you A world of lies.” Despite being accused of being a Satanist, Danzig has always denied this.  He claims he's spiritual but rejects all organised religions and while being fascinated in evil and Satan, he doesn't believe in him too.

A vile baptist church in the US infamous for its hatred of homosexuals is planning to picket Ronnie James Dio's funeral.

The notorious Westboro Baptist Church in Kansas is gearing up to protest at Dio's memorial service in Hollywood on May 30th as they claim he is a “Satan worshipper / enabler” who “encourages violence”.

The church, who have the URL of Godhatesfags.com, is led by the minister Fred Phelps who has previously claimed that terrorist attack and natural disasters are God's revenge for a society that tolerates homosexuality.

Part of the church's warped beliefs is that they have the “duty to protest and picket at certain events, including funerals, to promote their religious message.”

Having previously protested at military funerals, now the sick bastards have turned their attention to Ronnie James Dio.

The full disgusting WBC statement reads as follows:

“WBC to picket this public memorial to remind you who worship that old Serpent, Satan, that your time is very short.

“You know 67 year old, Satan-worshiping (or at least one of their enablers) Ronnie James Dio (of showing his devil horns to the world each time he goes in public) Black Sabbath fame is dead, right? We’ll be there!

“Just because the chances of any of God’s elect being amongst this group of heavy metal sycophants is slim to none does not mean they should not get some good words.

“Yes, it is true that Ozzy Osbourne did “accidentally” bite off the head of a bat, but THAT is the least of their sins (little nasties!), they currently do not do that, but they throw raw meat to the audience and encourage violence of EVERY FORM!

“Here you have the list of admitted sins of this now dead and in hell pervert:

“1) He hates his neighbor(s) starting with Ozzy Osbourne, and continuing down to his pornography star niece Gen Padova!

“2) He hates God. Pay especial attention to the fact that he changed his original sir name from Padova to Dio, which means God in Italian.

“3)Ronnie the simpleton enabled, and encouraged Sorceries: everything he was about including the little finger horn thing (he got this from his mother which is an incantation to ward off the “evil eye”) to the drugs, bloody raw meat and his fellowship with those pentagon necklace wearing freakish band members.

“Yes, Ronnie James Padova (NOT DIO) is currently residing in hell. When all those who worship him and his false gods meet him in hell it will be just like this: Isaiah 2:12 For the day of the LORD of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and lofty, and upon every one that is lifted up; and he shall be brought low: Isaiah 14:11 Thy pomp is brought down to the grave, and the noise of thy viols: the worm is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.

“Praise God all ye, His people. The Great Day of the Lord draws nigh. AMEN!”
