In the wake of Dio's passing, we've seen an outpouring of tributes from metal bands far and wide, we've seen an idiot post some terribly unfunny jokes at Dio's expense, but it wouldn't be a party unless the Baptist church got involved. The Westboro Baptist Church to be more specific. These are the whackjobs behind the site GodHatesFags. They will be staging a picketing outside Dio's memorial on Sunday. Why? Well, cause Dio is evil and stuff. One look at their "press release" shows that these people barely even knew what the guy stood for and are probably just looking for something to do on a Sunday after hitting up Church. Check out this drivel:

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. Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading. 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! (Note from Ed: Umm, what?! When has Black Sabbath EVER done this??) 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! (Note: First off, I didn't know he hated Ozzy. Second off, he has a porn star neice?! These guys know more about Dio than I do!) 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 pentagram necklace wearing freakish band members. (Note: Can these guys please provide me with footage of Dio throwing raw meat around?! Where the fuck did they get this info? Also, when I think Dio, the last thing that comes to my mind is druggie) Advertisement. Scroll to continue reading. 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!

Anyway, these people are clearly fucking out of their minds. I truly hope a bunch of metalheads show up to this and egg these morons OR BETTER YET, bring a bunch of raw meat to throw at them. Maybe even some latkes and gefilte fish to really piss them off. There is nothing that gets me angier than a bunch of houlier-than-thou morons disrespecting good people like Dio. Go fuck yourselves Westboro Baptist Church!
