GOD HATES NERDS!!! Westboro Baptist to Protest at Comic-Con

What do you all think? I'm not a very religious person but I don't think this is following in the image of Christ....

Anyways...

Oh, Westboro...

They tried to come protest homosexuality at my college because we were running the play Rent on campus, but it was an April Fool's joke. Guess they didn't have the guts to take on free-thinking college kids.

So first they protest at military funerals and now at comic cons??? WTF?! What the heck is the point of these people?? Are they THAT bored?!

It's called FANDOM not worship you morons!

Who's that? O_o
:lol: When did Yoda give this speech? He's Jewish, ya know. ^_^

"God hates everything I don't agree with! Religion should be taken seriously!"

I have to agree with Spitfire. It seems these religious folk are just antagonizing anyone and anything they don't agree with.
This is the sort of thing that scares me.. o.o

And these are the people making our laws. Scary, indeed.

How are the Westboro Baptist Church making our laws?

No one is letting them make any laws. They're a cult like group of people who protest funerals, celebrate dead soldiers, and yearn for attention.

Which is what this is, just because SDCC is always heavily media covered, they're going because they know they'll get thrown into news headlines again.

Just to clarify this in case someone is confused, they're celebrating the fact that they're dead, not the fact that they're soldiers.

Westboro are naught but a bunch of overzealous freaks, and as anyone sane (or at least close to it) that allies themselves with Christianity can tell you, this isn't representative of the entire religion. It's just that the fools have the louder voice.

Yeah and speaking as a Christian, I can honestly say that I find this to be one of the silliest things ever.

That's quite a ridiculous statement, as well as all the general religion bashing. These are crazy people, people.

The funny part is that they are protesting for all of 45 minutes on Thursday afternoon. In a sea of 125,000 geeks, they are literally going to be seen by the absolute fewest number of them.

I'm semi-considering counter-protesting with a sign that says, "I LIKE TOAST," or something equally harmless and ridiculous.

I meant individuals of the same mindset, not this church specifically.
If you can afford to lose that time, that's an awesome idea. ^_^

I don't think thats the case at all.

Its one thing to complain about liberal or conservative law makers, but to compare either affiliation to the WBC is insane.

Sorry...it's the first thing that came to mind.

I'm a Christian, yea even a Baptist and I find this wack-bag to be a whole order of fries short of a Happy Meal®.

They just don't give up, do they? Next they are going to say God hates eggs because they become scrambled or sunny side up. I am Catholic and what they say is very sketchy.

My family is baptist... :l

They are seriously looking into things to much.

Ditto for me too, man!

While I can't speak as to whether or not God actually hates nerds (he probably does), this is just the Westboro Baptists trying to stir up some high-profile controversy again. Nothing to see here.

They stopped by my campus last year after some members of our wrestling team posed for a homo-erotic calendar for cash. A group of friends went to the protest dressed in the most stereotypical gay clothes they could find (short-shorts, headbands, etc), and held up signs reading "Fred Phelps is hot." The next day, they were the only protesters to get their picture in the paper, which we all thought was kind of hilarious considering the amount of actual protesters who were present.

But that's neither here nor there. Not worth legitimately protesting; not worth acknowledging.

Hey, hey, alarmism!

Ok that article says it's all cuz of Romans 9:13. Which is "Jacob i loved, Esau I hated".... So all this is cuz of some poor guy who sold his inheritance for a bowl of lentil soup and was hated for it.... well alrighty then.

Wow. These guys are seriously f*cked up if they want to protest at Comic Con. According to them, God hates everything and everybody except them.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

LOL! LMAFO! There are people actually hungry/starving for mass media atention everywhere....
....They must be careful...at least in my country that could be considered /mislead in an invitation for an "urban battle"...

Well, I'm sure they'll get attention and not the good kind either.

Is that intended irony, or did you just blow your own logic?

:lol: I approve this message. :tthumbsu:

It's actually a famous quote from Luis Bunuel.

:lol: This totally cracks me up.

Well, I'm a Christian, and as I've been saying for years, it's as if these people had never read their own book. Their actions are pretty much those diametrically opposed to Christianity. Hearing about these idiots is equal parts disgusting and depressing. It would almost be funny if not for the fact that people were looking at these wack-jobs and thinking that they represent Christianity. Well, at least this bit here would be sorta' funny, because it's just so unbelievably ridiculous, but protesting at the funerals of soldiers who die in the line of duty? That's nearly unforgivable.

In truth, these people care nothing for the messages that they preach. They are simply "professional protesters" who make their living suing people who impede on their right to free speech. So they go out there and push as many buttons as possible to give them more opportunities to have grounds for a lawsuit.

Whoo boy. I live in Topeka where these people are based. I see them pretty much weekly. I drive by their church, where they so proudly hang their "GODHATESAMERICA.COM" banner, and their upside down flag. Protesting comic con is literally nothing when compared to their usual stuff. And yes, it often makes no sense. My personal favorite is "GOD HATES BOYSCOUTS." They protest at just about anything of note. Every high school play. Tons of funerals. Hell, I remember a time when James Earl Jones came to town to read Shakespeare.... And they protested that.

Around here, folks are pretty used to them. They're met with basically no opposition of any kind. It's a pretty well known fact that the family is built of lawyers, and they're quite honestly very hard to touch.

Really? Good heavens! Just when you think these people can't get any more ridiculous!

By the way, Dan, I like that quote in your signature.

There's a political summit going on this weekend along with Comic Con. I'd be willing to bet that Westboro Baptist is really there to protest the likes of Al Gore and Newt Gingrich, and not so much say....Batman.

Really they're just attention whores, who pad their wallets with court settlements. And though I'd LOVE to organize people dress as their favorite villains and protest with them, it's best all around to just ignore them.

Though...we could take a page from Planned Parenthood's book and use them as a means by which to raise money for a better cause.

Except that they said they are there to protest the people that worship Batman.

I don't buy it, they've got bigger fish to fry.
If they were truly there to bring god to the Idolaters like they're claiming, they'd be there longer. This was something thrown together at the last minute for a sound bite.

It's a joke actually. I never knew it was a famous quote. I just remember hearing someone say it, and it sounded funny that an atheist would be thanking God when they don't believe in God.

Hmmmm. Why don't the Westboro morons protest against police, firefighters and EMT since people go for them for saving instead of looking up to the skies? Sorry, these people are a joke.

Well, I know an atheist that gets on his knees and prays every game that his football team is doing rough... ;)

I remember at college when we had anti-war protests... and then we had protests against the anti-war protests.. sounds like these folks have too much time on their hands.. and are wasting church funds and money to go to SDCC when they could be helping people with it...

People should protest across from them saying "God hates assholes"

I've heard one of their leaders say that Heath Ledger went to hell because of Brokeback Mountain. What a bunch of d*ckheads.

Yeah, I know. They're just mindless idiots who interpret the Bible in their own messed up way and expect everyone else to believe it, too.

And, Ninjinister, that's interesting. That would make him an agnostic.
