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

[BubblyShell22]

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"...

[BubblyShell22]

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?

I approve this message.

It's actually a famous quote from Luis Bunuel.

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.

[Warhorse]

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...

[BoggleKng]

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...

[Slap-Happy]

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.

[BubblyShell22]

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.
