It is shameful and abhorrent to me that these lunatics can get away with spewing hatred in the name of God, at funerals no less! Worse though, is that America's highest court supports them.
If Jesus was alive today he would be a gay rights activist! He would be visiting AID's patients in the hospices, healing victims of gay bashing, protesting ignorant laws and heartless court judgments.
How do I know this? Because I have read the bible! Jesus loved those on the outskirts of society, he ministered to those others did not want or did not like. He did not go around protesting at the funerals of soldiers.
He did not support war, violence or even anger. He preached compassion, love and tolerance.
If they want to protest about something here are a few suggestions that are fundamental to Christian faith and heavily supported by scripture.
Wealthy bankers that caused the downfall of the American economy.
War, nuclear weapons and preemptive invasion.
The abuse of Chinese sweatshop workers just for cheap clothing from Walmart
Destruction of "Gods" creation through pollution, mining, oil production, factory farming and abuse of animals for food.
It is groups like this, rhetoric like this, that push people away from religion. The members of Westboro Baptist Church need to look at themselves and what sort of world they are creating with their hatred.
I will pray for them, that they realise the damage they are doing to our world and to their innocent children.
Namaste
