What does god hate, and how much does he hate it? A theological debate answered through the magic of the world wide web and google.

God hates this stuffthis much
Fags167,000
Shrimp41,500
America28,200
Figs15,900
Sweden5,360
Fred Phelps1,180
Homophobes784
Rags387
Janks112
Christians99
Globes68
Amputees46

* This is actually a second-order measurement of God's hatred. It's technically people doing all the expression of hate and me measuring their hate by doing a google gearch for "god hates X" for each line in the table. I figured out what to look for by searching for "god hates" and choosing the nouns from the first two pages of results.

** This entry has been brought to you by God, me, Google, hateful bastards, [livejournal.com profile] coldtortuga's entry about whether Fred Phelps was serious, and a conversation with my officemate that began to resemble a Monty Python sketch:

God hates one thing: Fags!
What about Sweden? They love fags!
God hates two things then: Fags, and Sweden.
But Canada has passed gay marriage too!
Good Point! There are three things that god hates: Fags, Canada, and Sweden.
And America for its "don't ask, don't tell" policy
And America.
Don't forget Shrimp!

God hates the Yankees at 15.
God hates the Red Sox at 17.
God hates Derek Jeter at 1.
God apparently does not hate Johnny Damon or George Steinbrenner, which shakes my faith a bit...

I would not have expected god to hate Canada more than he hates Fred Phelps.

shows what you know. For what it's worth, Good only hates Peter 1.

I just had the horrible realization that this page may not in fact be funny ha-ha, but perhaps funny uh-oh. Laugh? cry? drink and berate... that's definitely the plan. Drink and berate.

It is indeed funny uh-oh. Drinking and berating it is!

me = 103,000
you = 148,000
everyone = 283

To put all this in context, "God hates" 1.45 million; so even the fags are only barely beating 10%... God sure has a lot of hate.

... and indeed, God seems to have a love/hate ratio of about 1.9.

(The Buddha kicks God's butt with a love/hate ratio between 10 and 40.)

hmm...

Interesting - we seem to be hitting slightly different google clusters in our search of God's hatred. I am glad that God does not hate the liberal media.

I must be on Malkav's cluster; I also get God hates science at 35.

Also, God hates Jesus at 24.

I also note that God hates Bush at 136, but Clinton at only 12.

Dude, I was listening to the radio in the car last week, and it sounded really good, and then it said that it was Groove Salad from SomaFM.

On the radio. The *real* radio.

It was rad.

(It turned out that some college station was just playing the Soma FM feed for a couple days, for some reason.)

I'm a little surprised to see God back up levitacl law on shellfish so strongly when pork doesn't even hit the radar.
