“The students held a sign reading ‘Figs Doom Nations’ and planted themselves across the street from the WBC, drawing from a Biblical passage in which Jesus disparages a fig tree. ‘If you need scanty biblical evidence for anything, we’ve got it,’ said fourth-year Carmel Levy as he handed out flyers containing biblical citations that read: ‘Jesus rebuked the fig as an evil abomination’ and ‘God Promises Terrible Vengeance Upon Any Fig-Loving Nation.’ ‘We just wanted the world to know that God’s vengeance doesn’t just fall on the gay, but also on the fruit,’ said fourth-year Max Shron….”
