Can someone let me know when one of these wackos die so I can go protest their prejudice, ignorant life at their funeral? It's the least I can do to uphold the golden rule.

If I ever see any members of them, believe me when I say I'm going to spit in their faces

They're a disgrace to the human being race.

If they believe that a god can be as heartless as that and approve of them, then I will not believe in that God.

It'll be all the sweeter when they're the ones rotting in hell

I did ask where they're doing this at if I can find out I can orginize something.

you know out of respect for Jim I'm not gonna say what I did...His family didn't want people to know.

Not going to lie, but I couldn't help but chuckle at how ridiculous the protest ad is. Seriously, they're going to picket a guy's funeral who portrayed a gay on film? They're only doing it (or going to or going to try to, etc) because it's Heath Ledger and since he's a big movie star, they're going to get media exposure themselves. This way they get more crazies for their cause.

Honestly, I am not a huge fan or anything of Heath Ledger's, but it did come as a shock. I dont know if it's becaus he was so young or the upcoming Batman movie or what. I think it was a shock for a lot of people because he isn't out in the media like Lindsey Lohan or Britney Spears. Those people wouldn't be such a surprise when they die because we're almost expecting it. I was listening to the radio this morning, and the DJ was saying how the pills Heath was taking (Ambien I think?) is pretty out there stuff. The DJ (Mancow if any of you listen to him) said that he had taken Ambien for sleeping problems and he said he did some random stuff and didn't even remember it. So it sounds like a pretty interesting drug.

I saw BBM. It was alright, wasn't great or anything, but wasn't as big a deal as the media played it out ot be at the time.

Actually if you read the description of what Jim Henson had he actually died of Mersa.

Anyways... the autopsy report came out today on Heath...inconclusive of course...they generally are the day after. We'll find out in a couple weeks.

Please don't. I understand where you're coming from but these scumbags are just going to spin everything around to support their ridiculous agenda, and they don't deserve the attention or even the acknowledgement.

Hmm, I heard it was pneumonia. Anyway, the point is it doesn't even have to take an uncommon, exotic, or otherwise major illness or disease that can unfortunately take a big name person's life.

As for the WBC? Screw them. If they want to be the Christian equivillant of the Taliban, there's nothing you can do about it. I think they shouold be tried for treason for protesting soldier deaths for a war they probably lobbies for the US to start. Funny how wackos who believed in a multiarmed green god riding on a comet to destroy Earth are referred to as a dangerous cult and these people aren't. I usually can respect a person's religion, but for the love of Pete, this is the reason why everyone hates Christians.

[jeff the cheff]

The joker should **** up the whole WBC, make them all Two-Face like.

[Jester]

And who called it....man I hate those bastards.

*Jester doesn't use bastard as a slur, as bastardization is taking something and torquing it, and Phelps and his people bastardize Christianity thus, bastards. (this is the same reasoning those idiots use to allow for their excessive use of the word f**, for it is a word meaning "bundle of sticks used for kindling" and guess who Phelps and his minions (read family) think will kindle Hell fire?)

Can I get religious on you without this post being edited or deleted? Here, I'll put it in spoiler tags (now) so if you want to read it, ok, if not it's hidden and you don't have too.

Spoiler:

Ok, so Phelps and his church believe that God hates Gays. Well if that is true and God hates homosexuals for their sin, then he must hate all sinners for their sin, since all sins are equal in the eyes of the Lord. So, if God hates all sinners, if you believe as Fred Phelps, why in the world would he send His Son into the world to die for the sinners He hates so much? Is my logic disjointed or does Phelps just by preaching this message of hate totally negate his own beliefs, and by default those of people like me and other normal, God fearing, all people loving Christians?

[gobo]

I hadn't read that ad for their picketing until an hour ago. I'll have nightmares for weeks about living in a world where I'm the only person who isn't a prejudice, narrow-minded ignoramus. >_< I hate haters so bad...

[Jester]

Imagine how I and other Christians feel, since they are the most vocal of us, and make us all look like bigots.

Oh Jester, you know you make far too much sense for these types of morons. Really, if these guys believe God is so loving, how on earth did they come to the conclusion that he could hate anyone?! That goes against every last thing that Christianity stands for. Phelps is a twisted fool, and he'll pay dearly for making a mockery of Christ and His teachings. End of story.

Very true. I just wish he didn't have to drag it's good name through the mud first, turning off all sorts of people who may need the gospel.

Dear Thread,

Uh, are we done talking about religion now? I'd love to get back to talking about boobs. Thanks.

Love,

Ai

Spoiler:

Yeah, that's the part that bothers me, too. This world has more than enough hate in it-- last thing this place needs is jerks turning what should be a message of hope into something vile and discouraging.

EDIT: Oh shoot-- We're done now, Ai. Maybe.

[Jester]

Yeah, we're done breaking the rules via Spoiler tags. Boob talk can resume.

[愛]

It was a joke. I'm not knocking religion. It's all good as long as no one's insulting someone else's beliefs. Then we got the "ZOMG E-FIGHT THREAD CLOSED!"

You get what I'm sayin'?!

[Jester]

Yeah. I hear ya. Phelps has ruffled my feathers since I found out about his "church" so I've had years to ferment my hatred for that man. Not very Christian, but I'm sure God'll forgive me.

[愛]

I'm sure he's got your back.
