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?!

They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do!

It's called FANDOM not worship you morons!

When did Yoda give this speech? He's Jewish, ya know. ^_^

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

[Charlotte_Sometimes]

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

[gobo]

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

[Brodie]

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. ^_^

[Brodie]

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.

[Jester]

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®.

[Leonardo87]

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.

[Koi]

My family is baptist... :l

They are seriously looking into things to much.

Ditto for me too, man!

[Cipher]

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.
