Topic: Church to Protest at Elizabeth Edwards' Funeral | |

No, I dont agree with the protesters, and Im not sure why I was somehow associated with them. They're going to do whatever they do, regardless of the situation at which they are protesting.
It has nothing to do with the BS that was hatefully spewed out inside the funeral. |

Westboro Church to Protest at Elizabeth Edwards' Funeral By Kevin Spak, Newser Staff Members of the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kan. hold up protest signs at a demonstration during graduation ceremonies with Barack Obama at Notre Dame, May 17, 2009. (AP Photo/Eric Y. Exit) (Newser) – America’s least-favorite protest group is at it again. The Westboro Baptist Church will picket the funeral of Elizabeth Edwards, it announced today on its website, the charmingly named godhatesfags.com. The church didn’t elaborate on Edwards' specific transgression, but given that its ultraconservative congregation usually gets its jollies protesting the funerals of dead soldiers, it probably didn’t need much of a reason. The church handling Edwards’ funeral tells the Washington Post that it’s aware of the planned protest, and that its staff is currently meeting to decide how to handle the situation. http://www.newser.com/story/107243/westboro-church-to-protest-at-elizabeth-edwards-funeral.html Ultra conservatinve congregation???These people obviously are not Christians because Jesus Christ was a Jew and so were the people God called "his chosen"who he loved.For these idiots to say that God hates his own son and his own people,and his own promised land is beyond stupid. I think most people and especially other Christians can see this group for what it is.It's bunch of Atheists using God as a excuse to do two things... 1.To provoke anger and hate towards Christians. 2.To provoke anger and hate towards anyone they do not like. If I was a person who really hated religion what is the best way to give it a black eye and make it look bad?Get 40 or 50 other people who think the same way I do,claim to be that religion you hate,and then be as vile and offensive as possible. Fortunately everyone has figured out that these people in no way represent Christianity and they are nothing but a bunch of idiots who hate everyone and everything including the concept of Christianity.They would put the world "We hate" on those signs but since that would be considered hate speech they have to use the word God for a excuse to exercise their religion. I would not want to be one of these people who are judged by God when they die.Hellfire and torment will be their new home. Agreed, as a methodist, i can tell you if anyone ever comes at you holding a sign that says "God hates...." they either are disingenuous, have no idea what they are talking about, or both. |

I am one and I would never consider using someone's personal deity against them. So don't try to label this proclaimed ultraconservative Baptist Church group Atheists just because you don't agree with their views. Every group has it's loonies, this just happens to be a religious one. |
