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

[Toonami Tom]

Somebody should stand opposite of these protesters (assuming they actually show up) with a sign that reads "Hypocrites" with an arrow pointing at the Comic-Con protesters. No wait..... on second thought, people shouldn't waste their time like that. If you show up at Comic-Con, enjoy it.

These idiots who plan to protest Comic-Con have taken the word of God out of context.

Now, if somebody actually was worshiping Batman or Superman, that would be screwed up, but just being a fan of something is fine. And even if somebody was worshiping a comic book character, that's their business, no matter how screwed up it is.

People that protest over stuff like comic books in the name or religion, actually contribute to driving people away from having faith.

[BubblyShell22]

I agree with this sentiment. If someone wants to worship Batman, they have the right to do so. It is a free country. It may sound screwed up to many people, but the person doing it is well within the law to worship whoever he/she chooses. These idiots are just trying to gain attention for their own personal gain. If I was going to Comic Con I wouldn't pay attention to them and just enjoy myself.

I'm not sure what to make of this. Obviously these people are just sad little attention seekers.

If God hated everything......well.....what kind if god is that? I certainly wouldn't want to worship a thing so hateful. May as well worship the devil.

Besides....if God hates America....and they LIVE in America.....I'm almost certain that God hates them! Ha!

No....I'm not Christian.....or even a very devout religious person in general. I just see God as something used as a pawn or excuse for things in history..... and apparently boredom in todays society.

If God were real (not saying he is or isn't) Do you think he'd want you parading around making other people miserable? *shrugs* they make religion look bad.

My counter logic with regards to Westboro is thus:

If God hates "****" then God must hate all sinners, because to God all sin is equal. If God hates all sinners equally, (and by the way, all have sinned and fall short of God's glory.) then why would he send his Son to redeem any sinners at all. The Bible says that while we were yet sinner, Christ died for us, to show us how much he does love us. That is every sin, including (if you believe it to be a sin) homosexuality. Ergo, God must in fact love "****" because His Son died for all sinners, not just certain groups of heterosexual sinners.

[BubblyShell22]

Well, that's one way to look at it if you believe in that. I don't personally believe that, but that's a good way to counter attack the WBC because they believe that God hates all people except them. My belief is that if hell does exist, we're all going there anyway because we're not perfect. If heaven exists I think the only people who could get there would be holy people. That's just what I think. But I don't believe in heaven or hell. I believe in reincarnation and karma.

And, since I believe in karma, I say that these guys are going to get some bad karma since they are spreading bad karma by insulting everybody.

I don't think God hates anyone. The only way we will ever know is if, in a Cecil B. DeMille way, the clouds part, he looks down upon us in a full manifestation and tells us who is on the nice list and who is on the naughty list. Anything else is all but speculation.

I'm kinda disappointed that not one person dressed up as Darth Vader appeared with a sign reading, "I find your lack of faith disturbing."

[azrael]

I dont know if it has been said but in my eyes, These are our Mythologies. I see comics and their characters as our myths of today. and when we are gone and an intellegent life form comes he may find these and the characters may live on.

Thank God I'm an atheist.

Bubblyshell, I'VE been a born-again Christian for slightly over FORTY YEARS (AND a Free Will Baptist for pretty much ALL of those 40+ years), and TRUST me, hun, these jerks are definitely NOT mainstream Christians. If ANYTHING, it's people like THEM who turn people OFF of Christianity, and are an abomination to those of us who ARE, and who love our faith, AND the Lord and Savior that we serve. There's a REASON that they ARE called, and I quote, "THE most HATED "church" in America!", end-quote.

And it's worth NOTING that the ONLY members of this so-called "church" (the Baptist Assocciations, of ANY kind,DON'T acknowledge them, TRUST me on THAT one!) are ONE FAMILY. One. No one else (with any sense at all) around Topeka wants anything to DO with them! But can you BLAME them?

And honestly, a good many of the comments around here are well put, on ALL levels. Alll these jerks (and they ARE just that; jerks) are after is publicity, and they'll get it any way that they can. Just like that jerk of a woman (can't remember HER name at the moment, and don't really WANT to) who got disowned by her own family (her husband DIVORCED her, and her remaining kids HATE her, if I remember right), because she started going down the SAME route as the WBC, protesting our soldiers' funeral; etc. People like THAT aren't worth the rest of us' time. TRUST me on THAT one!

Getting back to the regular subject, I just want to say that, like I said, I've been a Christian for 40+ years, and I started reading comics back when I was a KID in the 60's, and have loved them ever since. The difference between me and THOSE jerks is, I, like ALL of us, know that comics are fantasy; fiction; and we love them because they're fun and give us a lot of pleasure. I don't worship them. I'm a fan, yes (a fan-GIRL, DEFINITELY yes!), but I know the difference between fantasy/fiction and reality. It's a shame that THEY don't.

You know, I just THOUGHT of something: this is KINDA of like that jerk so-called "Christian" kid who started that nonsense of MySpace (or FaceBook; can't remember which now) a few years back about trying to get us REAL Christians to boycott the TMNT because they were "satatnic".

Anyway, I hope folks at Comic Con just ignored them and went ahead and had a good time.

Well, who knows if "God" is even a he, let alone real?
Christianity may be a patriarchy religion, but God could certainly be a she just as well.
Just tossing that in, as I've always felt it a little sexist that God is always refered to as a he.

[BubblyShell22]

Yes, I've often wondered that as well. If God does exist, who's to say he isn't really a female or both?

[jaymq]

Sounds like the general consensuses is that this church is full of fail. I couldn't agree more. Fanatics like this are extremely angering nonetheless.

Or Neither? He's 'all-powerful'. He can be whatever he wants.

[Jester]

Exactly, as God is a diety, he has no gender...we ascribe a male gender because it's our sociatal thing.
