Ugh. Fred Phelps is an asshole. That guy picketed for weeks outside of my school.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Why did he choose your school to picket outside of? And I agree. Total ass.

idk about anon, but they were at our graduation for having an active gay-straight alliance club.

That's terrible. I'm so sorry that your graduation experience had to be marred by their idiocy. They've picketed at worse though. They've picketed military funerals as well. It's the reason the Patriot Guard Riders were formed.

Sometimes the right to bear arms is taken too far..

Alright, I guess I took it too far... Im responding now because I totally forgot about this post since July, and it was posted before I had an account. I stumbled across it again just now.

Westboro Baptist Church (who are not actually part of the Christian church in any way, shape, or form) is a group of extremists who believe that war is wrong, gays are the devil, etc. They are so confident that they are right, that they show up at soldiers' funerals with picket signs that say things such as, "Thank God for IEDs" or "God hates fags". Their website is full of hate messages and prayers for the death of American soldiers, it's sickening.

wow it is sickening. Thanks for the info.

Thank you for including that it was non-Christian because the second anyone sees the word "Church," they get a boner and think all Christians hate gays.

idk what this is about, but the fact that it says "all members..." is a little extreme

by Anonymous 13 years ago

There are only about 20 of them, that might be why.

'be shot' is a bit extreme to begin with. but its all or nothing. http://godhatesfags.com/ a list of the truth from their perspective. it's their official website, in case you were wondering

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, probably shouldn't shoot them, but can we wound them? Just a little?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Id rather go for a severe beating. Really sinks the message in

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Branding them would sink the message in better.

I can't say I'd condone this... but I don't think I'd stop it from happening.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

and then we'd be just as bad as them

by Anonymous 13 years ago

truth. If not worse. And if they were killed any other extremists out there who agree with them (if there are any) would forever have the fuel to keep going. The only right thing to do is ignore them, and hope they someday see the shame in what they are doing.

I would just like to point out the irony of this statement.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Well you're not alone in noticing it! I mean, come on...

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I'm gay, atheist, and an ethnic minority, and I don't like them and find them irritating - but I don't think they should be shot because people can't handle them or dislike them. Personal preferences and just because you disagree with them or anyone else is not grounds for censoring others. It's funny that you argue against intolerance with your own intolerance, idiot.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

meh, I guess youre right...I was feeling particularly bitter against them that day. My apologies. And the reason why I am responding now is that this was one of my first posts, and not being anonymous would be awkward...lol

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Now I agree that what the so-called church did was so totally wrong, but I can't help notice the irony of this post. Wouldn't shooting them be just as wrong?

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I believe that he really doesn't want to shoot them but he instead he is looking for ways to insult them and call them out. Noone wants to see people die, people just want people to stfu.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping...

I absolutely hate how these ignorant people do not take the Bible, as it says, and LOVE ONE ANOTHER!!! If they knew anything about their so-called affiliated religion (I say so-called affiliated because this is not baptists at all. They are a cult of haters.) they should realize that treating others as you would have them treat yourself is the best ministry. I am quite openly gay and I used to be a Christian. These people are in a cult category all their own. How they can call themselves "Christians" and treat others like SHIT! That is beyond me. Maybe if they read the Bible, in context, they would get some truths out of it. I believe that the Bible provides very good teaching tools, such as treat others good, help your neighbors, etc. but when I see the vulgar garbage these people twist out of a good tool, I cannot help but gag on the rank smell of fermenting shit that will bite them in the ass. Sorry about the rant, I had to get my two cents in. Their hate opened my hate to them.

You can't take freedom of speech too far you dumbass. It's a freedom, look up that definition. They're right anyway.

Do you really think they are right? wtf is wrong with you? Go get a soul buddy....

As much as I diagree with their views, if the government took away their right to freedom of speech we'd be going against the Constitution. Then, who knows what rights they might take away next? Besides, shooting people who cause trouble is a crime that an opressive, totalitarian government would commit. Not a democracy.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

shooting is a bit harsh. we should maim or seriously injure them

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I completely agree with you. Those people are sick and disgusting.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

They're real life trolls.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

I think they're vile (which also happens to be an anagram of evil), but shooting them would just make things worse, and bring whoever did it down to their level. Not to mention, there are kids amongst them, kids who don't know how wrong what they (or rather their parents) are doing is. Recently, in 2010, two younger members left the cult and cut contact with their parents after they realised how disgusting their views are. A lot of the younger members will have this realisation, and all we can hope for is that this hateful, disgusting, evil cult will die with their parents and its leader.

by Anonymous 12 years ago

Yes, I agree that they wrong. I agree that they are assholes. But, once we start limiting, or hurting people for free speech. Then everyone's free speech will be taken away.
