Donnie Davies says so, and sang so, so, so very eloquently that it brought tears to the eyes of many a listener for many a happy hour until tragedy struck.
It’s true.
Well friends, YouTube took down the video that Evening Service and I have worked so hard on. I don’t know what hurts more; being censored because of my message or people making fun of my weight. Hopefully MySpace believes in freedom of expression more than Google does. Maybe China isn’t the only country Google is censoring. ;-)
Spread the Word
Keep the FaithDonnie D.
ps. If any of ya’ll post the video anywhere else please tell us!
(Oh, you mean like here?)
Donnie Davies, PastorDavies on AIM if you’re looking to chat (paging Mark Foley!), heads up Love God’s Way, an organization of passionately engaged Christians with a mission to help the bent go straight. They have helpful lists of Gay Bands (Eminem! Who knew???Oh, my mistake: he’s talking about Em in men!) and Safe Bands (Cyndi Lauper: again, who knew???) Here is a pullquote from their program page, CHOPS.
“Suffering is one very long moment. We cannot divide it by seasons. We can only record its moods, and chronicle their return. With us time itself does not progress. It revolves. It seems to circle round one centre of pain.”
–Oscar Wilde (reformed homosexual)So What is This About?
C.H.O.P.S is the powerful new program developed by Christian Youth expert Donnie Davies. C.H.O.P.S stands for CHANGING HOMOSEXUALS into ORDINARY PEOPLE…
You are not alone and guess what, God Loves You even if he hates your Homosexuality. You just can’t stay that way. Let me help you love yourself. Follow me and together we’ll C.H.O.P.S away the Gay.
And, from Davies’ own personal website:
Oscar Wilde, my hero, was a reformed homosexual. He went to prison for his sins. Once he was alone with his thouhgts, in jail, he saw the errors of his ways and repented. He died as a Christian. While I’m not advocating jailing all Homosexuals, I do think it would benefit them greatly. It would be for their own good. When a person is forced to think they will generally be able to see their problems and solve them by themselves.
Davies‘ band, the aptly-titled “Evening Service” recorded their touching tune “The Bible Says” only today, but after only a brief flowering of press attention YouTube pulled the plug. Right now, it’s up on Evening Service’s page here (for now). Anybody got a good capture program?

Let’s go to the lyrics, which I have in full over the jump:
Read the bible and you’ll be sure
To enter heaven. There’s no back door.
Oh righteous man, go down on your knees,
there lies no virtue in sodomy…
God hates a fag. God hates a fag.
God hates a fag.If you’re a fag, He hates you too.
Well, I think it’s Cristal clear that, among a certain crowd, those lyrics would be packing quite a punch. Indeed, the viral spread of this video (#78 on YouTube today) recorded by a raggedy-assed crew at Studio #54 shows that it had really touched the global village, people, and in a very special way.
We shall give the good Reverend the last word; here is his introductory video, still miraculously untouched on YouTube. But it’s only a matter of time before it’s chaste offline.
Lyrics to the now-infamous The Bible Says over the jump!
del.icio.us: God hates fags
blinklist: God hates fags
furl: God hates fags
Digg it: God hates fags
ma.gnolia: God hates fags
Stumble it: God hates fags
simpy: God hates fags
newsvine: God hates fags
reddit: God hates fags
fark: God hates fags
Technorati me!
Tell me straight to fight temptation
lord lead me into your salvation
the bible says, as plain as day
with a man you shall not lay
lord you are my strength
fill me with your love
help me fight these feelings
help me rise above
lord help them hear me and make clear my voice
cuz being gay is nothing but a choice
God hates a fag
god hates a fag
god hates a fag
if you’re a fag he hates you too
Read the bible and you’ll be sure
to enter Heaven. There’s no back door.
Righteous man, get on your knees.
There lies no virtue in sodomy.
Lord you are my shield
Sustain me through the fight
a shelter from the urges
and help me see the light.
You filthy sinners should just let me be
cuz Jesus my saviour’s the only man for me.
God hates a fag
god hates a fag, yes he does
god hates a fag
if you’re a fag he hates you too
*Guitar solo*
lord you are my strength
fill me with your love
help me fight these feelings
help me rise above
lord help them hear me and make clear my voice
cuz being gay is nothing but a choice
God hates a fag
god hates a fags
god hates a fags
if you’re a fag he hates you too!
He hates, he hates you too!

Where to begin?
First, I suppose I should go back and reread “The Ballad of Reading Gaol” to see what in hell I missed.
Next, isn’t Donnie just so butch in his intro video?
And then there’s that whole Melissa Etheridge motif to the vocals, lyrics and arrangement
Believe me, I have been trying to put in the links that would tip people off that this is a joke, but WordPress has decided to fuck me over. I’ve been working on the damn post since about four hours ago, and I’m giving up now. But it IS a joke, and a damn good one.
Good call on the Etheridge.
Well, the video didn’t play but the audio did just fine. And if this is a joke, then I am well and truly impressed. Guess the SOTU message leaked some evil radiation that made me a bit too serious today, but I’m recovering.
Ever watch Mr. Show, when Bob Odekirk plays a Christian rock musician who has a drink named ‘Everlasting Cocksucker’ in honor of his performance at fellatio night at a local bar?
Re. Etheridge – I’m not gay, but I’ve got a little taste, dammnit! >B^D>
I haven’t seen Mr. Show. I only watch YouTube; I took a vow.
Given that it only lasted two truncated seasons on HBO, I understand.
Just occurred to me – I might be more impressed about this whole thing if Donnie Davies were a Dutch Reformed homosexual.
? Are we getting into personal preferences here? Because you were oddly quiet when I posted Hinterland’s Who’s Who: the bear.
Thou doth Protestant too much . . .
Ah, I see. You’re a man of Catholic tastes? But quite willing to take a Protestant on a quiet night.
Wonder if there’s a Book of Common Prayer joke to be had here?
You know how to pray, don’t you? On your knees.
And how did penitence enter into this?
There are no gay Dutch boys. They are in fact so hetrosexual that they can’t even resist sticking their fingers …
Sorry–got distracted, what was I saying?
Ah, so Philips Electronics originated the concept of plug-ins then?
Seriously, people, does ANYONE have a video capture program that can snag that video? Me wants…
Actually I think Java plug-ins originated near San Francisco. You know, in the coffee bars.
Such a funny video. Clearly a total fake and with it a brilliant gag. Just like Borat before him, scores of people will be “outraged” and we’ll all sit back and laugh at them until they get the joke. It’s very well done though, so no doubt it will catch many people out. Heck, for a few moments after visiting the lovegodsway.org website I was almost suckered. But Oscar Wilde, reformed homosexual? LOL!!!
Brilliant stuff!
You should see the new one: only 45 views so far.

“I’d like to thank Andrew Sullivan for getting behind me…”
http://www.break.com/index/homophobic_christian_rock.html
Here it is folks, the full version, with only slightly reduced visual quality. And let’s face it, the visual gags are secondary…
This should be safe forever, Break.com aren’t exactly the kind of website to remove a video because some people don’t like it.
Here’s another one, if you could find the video, please contribute to him
http://www.gospeakit.com/religion/video-to-song-god-hates-fags.html
Thanks! Useful…but if only I could get my hands on an MP4…
Hmmm, there’s a reason those sites don’t own Google today…Break has frozen my Explorer window and GoSpeakIt has only a dead Googlevid and the lyrics…which are already here. Maybe the people who posted them have them on their hard drives and will re-post soon.
Guess no one told him Cyndi Lauper’s “She Bop” is about masturbation.
Somehow I have the feeling he knows…
lol @ RC, yes, he knows first hand.
BTW, that Happy Hour is ’round the corner from my apt. What a coincidence.
Well it looks like a nice place. Teh gheys always find the best restaurants.
hey! http://www.Gospeakit.com got a working one, it’s break
anybody know how to rip break videos?
I knew how to rip youtube, but i don’t know about break
I wish I knew. I would totally mirror this, since WordPress lets us host video and it’s obvious he wants the vid out there.
Have you seen? All three of his websites are down. I wish I knew whether to blame that on the fundies or the gays or the sanctimonious PCers. Can’t the world take a joke (don’t answer!)
Aha! Video goodness coming soon! Watch this space…well, not this one. http://raincoaster.com . That one.
Here’s another place with the video and lyrics:
http://flprogressive.blogspot.com/2007/01/you-will-not-believe-this-video.html
Or the latest post on this very blog. Glad to see they’ve got this too. The more mirror sites the better.
this url is good for the video:

I already have the video, here:
http://raincoaster.com/2007/01/26/donnie-davies-performs-god-hates-a-fag-the-infamous-video/
donnie davies is worse than hitler.
Hey, thanks for the insight, moran. I think it’s great that the warders let you use computers and everything. Do they hold your paws for you while you type?
too bad you dont see the irony in spelling moron wrong
Or the irony in your username being a request? What a maroon!
theres nothing wrong with gay marriage and even if it is a joke its sick
Sometimes the extremes are so far out that they circle back and meet in the middle.
DDS, you need to switch meds dude–something less anxiety-producing might be beneficial. However, you might want to look up the “Reverend” Fred Phelps, whose foaming, Texas-brain-worm-inspired lunacy has given rise to the delightful Donny D, the Godhatesfigs site, and God Hates Shrimp.
Because the unfortunate difference is that Phelps is actually serious. I stumbled onto him purely by accident back when he was announcing to all who would listen that the terror attacks on the World Trade Center were god’s punishment of the “fag-ridden” NYPD.
The world needs more Donny Davies’ and fewer Phoaming Phreddy Phelps’.
DDS:
i just want you to know that i am a homosexual and i think that you saying that Donnie is “worse than hitler” is unacceptable. I also feel that Donnie is wrong in his message but feel that he has as much right to voice his opinion as you do to express yours. Its gays like you who give us a bad name.
Thanks for the backup, my friends. For the record, DDS is a troll who got smacked down for spewing hatred in the WordPress support forums and now he’s taken my advice: Flamewars are to be conducted in the comments section of blogs, as God intended. That my jokes fly over his head and that he does not realize what an ass he’s making of himself only digs him in deeper.
Metro, I think God Hates Shrimp predates Phelps…didn’t he steal the idea from them? And it’s well-known that God hates Figs: Just look at the bible, they’ve got all the quotes right there! God so totally hates figs. But he’s just fine with other fruits.
HI MY NAME IS SADIE THE BIBLE SAYS THAT GOD LOVES EVERY ONE AND TO HATE THE SIN NOT THE SINNER I TOTALY GO AGAINCRD THIS CAUSE I AM BI SEXUAL AND NONE OF US LIKE TO HERE ANY OF YOUR BULL SHIT SO LEARN TO SHUT THE FUCK UP CAUSE YOU DONT KNOW WHAT GOD LOVES AND HATE SO THERE AND BY THE WAY ITS A SCIENCE FICTION FACT THAT BY THE YEAR 2008 MORE THAN HAVE OF AMERICAS POPULATION ARE GOING TO BE GAY AND BI SO IF YOUR TRYING TO STOP GAYS YOU CANT SO HAHAHA MIND YOUR OWN MOTHA FUCKEN BUISNESS BITCHES
Talk about late to the parade . . . .
DOES THE BIBLE SAY TO USE THE CAPS LOCK KEY?
God “hates” fags? Isn’t that like a contradiction of terms? The “Supreme being of good” capable of “HATE” means that the “Supreme of being of evil” must be capable of “compassion”, “sympathy” or even “love” and I think that’s a dangerous belief. The balance between good and evil is as is. They need eachother and to support that God must be who he says he is: “Eternal, unconditional, everlasting … LOVE”. He HATES noone. Maybe the enemy that takes so much from his children,”us”. But it makes no sense that he would “hate” anyone of His own creations. I don’t care what scripture you try to show me. It goes against the very idea who He is and has always claimed to be. I have never thought of Him as a liar and I never will!
But…what do you think of the tune?
I pray on my knees! I shout “Oh God!” When my boyfriend fucks me in my ass after he sucks my cock! So I must be getting into heaven! Its kind of contradictory but according to that bloody song its true! So God does love fags. :D
How can you say it’s contradictory? Did you know that the saddest thing about atheists is that they have nobody to talk to when they get blowjobs?
Well lucky me I’m not an atheist.
See, there have to be SOME compensations for all the rules.
