Down with the Westboro Baptist Church

Fox News has reported today that the controversial Westboro Baptist Church plans to protest at the funeral of Jerry Falwell. This "church" (actually it is not true to Baptist theology and is more of a cult) feels that the man who made controversial statements regarding gays was wrong in preaching that God loves everyone, so they are now going to attempt to subject his family to their garbage. As much as I disagree with some of what Falwell said, his family does not deserve this.

As a Christian, I am taught to love everyone and hate the sin. I personally feel that the gay lifestyle is wrong and do not want to see it flaunted in public. However, I do not hate or even dislike the person. That said, let me state that I feel that the WBC is a group that must be stopped. They have brought nothing good to this country, only pain. They protest at GI funerals, claiming that because Bill Clinton allowed gays in the military that all military persons must be gay. This is misguided and stupid.

To Fred Phelps and your church, you are scum. You claim that everyone but you will burn in hell. We shall see who God judges for that punishment and I have a feeling you are near the top of that list. You are a bunch of ignorant fools and I pray that you will receive the truth of Christ. You constantly quote Old Testament scripture, but neglect the truth of the Gospels. Let me also add that if I ever see you at a funeral of one of my family members who served in the military, you will regret it. Let the families grieve and keep your hate to yourselves. If you stumble upon this post and think you'll scare me by putting me on your list of "fag lovers" or whatever you call them, I am not afraid. Better people have tried to intimidate me and have failed.

While I disagreed with the standoffs at Waco and Ruby Ridge, these people must be dealt with by our government. While we have freedom of speech, there is great responsibility that comes with that right. The people at Waco were not protesting at funerals and causing other people pain, nor was Richard Weaver hurting anyone else with what he was doing. These people are hurting many innocent people and should be dealt with. Three things should be done to solve this problem. First, take their children away, so that the kids will not grow up to be their parents. Second, put the adults in prison for the harm they have caused. Finally, pray for the souls of the church members that they may find redemption for their wickedness.

The Westboro Baptist Church is a cult of ignorant fools, but is also dangerous. They have the ability to mold young minds to their twisted view and draw other unsuspecting persons. They are traitors to the country and cause nothing but harm to our nation. Freedom of speech and freedom of religion are good things, but when abused, like with this group, an ugly picture of our country is painted for the world to see.
