‘“Contrary to popular belief I don't hate anyone who's gay” – God' say billboards and posters dotted around Auckland recently. The gay-friendly message is part of the series of God quotes from Godmarks, a registered Charitable Trust seeking to promote Christian faith in a new way “that make people laugh, twist their perceptions and deepen their thoughts,” according to their website. Godmarks declined an interview with GayNZ.com, saying they want to remain low-profile and “try to make it simply about the messages, and less about us people behind it. “We want to keep putting the messages out there for as long as we can. We're wanting to give something, not ask for something in return.” Other Godmarks' God ‘quotes' include: “If you want, you can email me at God@heaven.com, it's not my address but I can still check it”, “Isn't it weird how most people think I'm white”, and “Every day I get more prayer requests for carparks than anything else. You people need to start thinking bigger.” Donations to sponsor the messages can be made through the Godmarks website at the link below. Ref: GayNZ.com (m)
