Merry Christmas Lady Gaga you’re going to hell! – that’s the message being sent out by Pastor Fred Phelps and his controversial Westboro Baptist Church.
The St Louis based church plans to picket the controversial pop star’s gig at the Fox Theatre on Thursday, January 7, 2010.
They claim that Gaga is a ‘god hater’ and is leading her millions of teenage fans astray with her provocative songs, performances and support of gay rights.
Church attorney and member Shirley Phelps told Radar Online.com: “She is headed straight to hell if she doesn’t change her ways.
“Lady Gaga is promoting a rebellion against God - she needs to get a Bible and change her way of life.

“We will be going to her concert with placards reading: God Hates Lady Gaga – to inform people that they will be going to hell too if they listen to her messages.
“According to the Bible homosexuality is an abomination and she has to shut her filthy mouth and stop promoting it.”
Gaga, 23, – whose real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta – was raised a Catholic by her parents and attended the Convent Of The Sacred Heart, a private school in New York.
