Westboro Baptist to Picket Hinckley's Funeral

Actually, they are children of our Heavenly Father. But I do think it is a good demonstration of what happens to people when they end up only being opposed to something, anything. You have to be FOR something.

What if I'm for pornography?

I agree. That's why I am for truth.

If that is the only positive thing you have in your life I recommend you hold onto it, at least until you get a more diversified portfolio.

Do these Westboro people actually show up for all the events that they plan to picket or do they make these announcements just to spew their vile vicariously?

We give them exactly what they want, which is attention, every time we link to their site, or link to whatever announcement they make of a planned picketing, etc.

I've done my share in that, too.

If it were up to me, I'd vote for everyone in the entire world ignoring them completely. That would be for the best.

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.

I guess you exclude the Old Testament then.

I like Phelps and his family, Howard Stern used to have them on his show sometimes and they were entertaining as all hell.

Well, since I'm not for porno, I guess I'd better have something else. MDB perhaps?

Maybe I could just be for vampires instead. It's not against the temple recommend to be a vampire is it?

More seriously, don't you think that sometimes being against something is sufficient? One can be anti-porn but call it pro-decency. Then all we have is a semantic argument about being pro instead of anti which ultimately boils down to nothing. Shades said he ws pro-truth, not anti-mormon. It's quite easy to play word games like that. From one perspective it is anti-. From another perspective it is pro- something positive.

You might ask this question of Tzusuki at the MAD forum. He has a handle of that type of information.
