Surprisingly, Taylor Swift has become the latest star to feel the fury of the controversial Westboro Baptist Church, which announced that it plans to picket her concert in Kansas City, Mo this summer, claiming that the singer is a "whore."
According to the Topeka, Kansas-based hate group, Swift's highly publicized ungodly relationships with a number famous guys is enough reason to condemn the 23-year-old singer to hell and protest her August 3 concert, reports the Huffington Post.
"@TaylorSwift13 works her 'girl next door' country-singer shtick, while hopping from one young man to the next and strutting across the world stage like a proud whore," the group wrote in a press release. The hate group also and went on to criticize the singer's own father, stating:
"He has no compunction about her immodest vulgar appearance or serial fornication. With a hating hypocrite for a dad - who will jealously guard her income, while not giving a thought for her never-dying soul - no wonder she grew up to be the poster child for the young whores of doomed-america [sic]."
The anti-gay church cult went on demanding that the Grammy Award-winner use her Twitter account to tell her 29.9 million followers to "stop fornicating ladies, and obey God."
In an interview with RadarOnline, WBC member Ben Phelps, the grandson of the group's leader, Fred Phelps Sr., explained why Swift is their latest target.
"This girl is a whore. Who else is gonna say that if it's not the church of the Lord Jesus?" Phelps told the website. "She's coming into our backyard. We're gonna go preach to her."
Phelps claims that Swift only pretends to be a "good Christian, but she's not," and says that it's her duty to use her enormous influence on young women to "promote the standards of God," instead of what the group claims is "whoredom, fornication ... that filthy lifestyle."
