Westboro Baptists

These people make me sick. First off, I hate that they protest funerals for dead soldiers saying they deserved to die because our military allows gay people to serve (and our country allows them to exist). Now? THOSE MUTHERFUCKINGASSHOLES are going to protest at the funeral Saturday for those two poor little boys in Graham who were killed in the murder/suicide by their father.

"The protest is to ?remind? Gov. Chris Gregoire ?they died because of her rebellion,? a reference to her support of same-sex marriages." AngryNO. JUST NO!! GOD DOES NOT WORK THIS WAY!!! The WB are just massive hate-mongers and if something happened to their kool-aid, I would ask no questions.

Re: Westboro Baptists

  • There is something completely messed up with their thinking. Yes, God allows things to happen, but to say that it is because they deserve to die because our military allows gay people to serve it taking it too far. They are making it be an issue of it's everyone else's fault and not theirs even though they are just as much at fault as the next person.

  • I really wish the media wouldn't give them ANY attention.  Like, seriously boycott/ignore them so they can't gain any momentum or be heard.
  • :( i don't like it.

  • This really frustrates me.  I am baptist, but that is not what baptists really believe!  We believe bad things happen to people because of sin in the world - general sin or your personal sin.  Like, sometimes bad things just happen because people are evil (Josh Powell), sometimes bad things happen because what you have done in your life deserves for you to have them happen to you (drunk driver dies), sometimes bad things happen because of other people's sin, directly (like a drunk driver kills someone innocent).  I don't believe that God punishes little kids by allowing them to die because of some political decision.  I mean, if the political decision was like that kids could start taking illegal drugs and one of them died, then yes, but what these crazies are saying is so indirect. 

    I don't know if I'm making sense, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that yes, I believe in many cases bad things happen because of sin, but these people saying that God wanted those poor little boys to die because of a decision made in Olympia is just ridiculous.

    I wish they would change their name is Westboro Crazies.

    TTC #2 for a million years: SA normal, CD 23 bloodwork shows nothing amiss, ovulation detected. Next step: ? maybe CD3 bloodwork to check eggs? All out of pocket, so limited IF tests/treatments.

    All of this. 

    And I particularly hate that this group does the things they do in the name of "Christianity."  They seem to conveniently forget all those places in the Bible where we're commanded to love each other.  ("The most important commandment is 'Love thy neighbor.'")  That "Jesus came not to condemn the world."  That Jesus treated sinners with love and compassion, not hatred. 

    Jacka$$es.

  • If you didn't know, Occupy Seattle is organizing a "protest" of the Westboro Baptists...essentially trying to block them from upsetting the mourners. I'm seriously considering getting off my lazy @$$ for once to go join that.

    I've seriously considered leaving a little later for Idaho just so we can block the jackasses out of the funeral.

    this--but in my current medical state, it probably isn't safe for me to participate in a protest. but i do love that another group will be protesting the protesters. 

    i feel sorry for the children's families though, and "true" attendees of the funeral. they deserve to have something peaceful.
