Westboro Baptist to Picket Hinckley's Funeral

[_Imwashingmypirate]

I haveincompatability issues viewing the link. What does it mean to picket a funeral? I think if God hated anyone so much, he would have known he was going to hate them and just not created them in the first place. Oh wait, the Mormon god is different. Ok. I think if "God" hated anyone, he would just smite them.

Pirate.

Oh I got the PDF. That is horrible. I don't have many feelings for Hinkley, but by all means that is just a wrong thing to advertise.

It in some strange way reminds me of the BNP. You know over here, one can't work for the MOD or police force if they are BNP activists or have ever been or follow their beliefs. God bless us all if they ever take leadership in this country. There would be a riot.

For the board apologists these people are anti's, but they are consistent, they are anti everything.

They have a letter to the Ledger family as well. I suppose you can get your mind off your own sin by drawing attention to that of others.

They were sued and lost last year for protesting a dead Marine's funeral.

Agree 100% KA.

God hates Canada? Never heard that one before! What's not to love? :)

I don't get their argument (as outlined on the brochure in your link): "God hates fags... *ergo* God hates Hinckley". How does that follow, exactly?

Picketing a funeral. Wow. They must have run out of better ideas.

I'm reading a (fiction) book right now about someone who is so intent on carrying out the work of Jesus Christ that he kills even his own group members to make things come to pass the way he thinks they should. Bizarre and twisted attitude eh? Just like these Baptists.

My best friend is a Baptist. A sweeter, kinder woman you could not meet. I think she does the Baptist thing differently!

I'm going out on a limb here and saying that I think MOST Baptists do things differently. Westboro disgusts me beyond belief.

What's with the bigotry kim and seth? They're just doing what they believe god has told them to do. Perhaps the holy ghost has even told them this is what they're supposed to be doing. What if they're the correct religion, and they are indeed trying their damndest to save people?

Remember, criticizing religion is off limits. Or is it - criticizing only the Mormon religion is off limits whereby you're subjected to the 'bigotry' calls?

Well....the scriptures that they allegedly adhere to tell them, as Christians, to LOVE. That God is love and that we are to love. Love the sinner.

They are irrational, delusional, wicked and despicable bottom feeders.

Yes, I agree, Jersey Girl. Westboro does not represent most Baptists at all, and is self-described as a Baptist church, I bet. I cannot imagine they are a part of any Baptist convention.

Is it OK to use the word "assholes" in a PG-13 setting?

Part of me really hopes there is a God because people like that will have some explaining to do.

You know, that's not a word that I typically use however, if you qualify it by incorporating it into the phrase "Psychotic assholes"....you got a deal.

I don't think they are affiliated with any convention or association of Baptists. Vile pigs is what they are.
