Our favorite hate mongering church is going to picket the funeral of the little girl shot in Arizona. I understand they have that right and all but man I wish someone would just put bullets in their head instead. Those people just need to fucking die.

Am I just completely out of the loop? Why would they do this at the funeral of an innocent 9 year old that was killed?

Because they are assholes and God hates American and God hates **** and all that.



If their's is the true message of god **** him and I'm glad I'm an Atheist

because they are religious zealots who feel their word is the only true word. How about we call them non-violent extremists.

This is beyond a new low... even for the Westboro Baptist Church.



That little girl gets caught up in the crossfire and that so-called "church" thinks its ok to get national attention simply because "God hates ****"???? She's too young to even know her own sexuality for God sakes!!!! Why the hell does it even matter? A little girl got shot and killed!!!!



If you wonder why I'm agnostic, this just answers your question.

This isn't about God or religion - it's just a group of nutjobs who enjoy their "look at me" behavior and enjoy the attention they get. I remember them protesting when all those Amish kids were killed by a gunman a few years ago as well. Just sick and disgusting behavior.

I disagree with the idea about god or religion. The woman who I think is like 2nd in command there would call the local radio station here in Tampa sometimes and sure she's a raging **** but she does know her scripture. Seriously she'd probably put most priests to shame with her knowledge of the "good" book. The thing is they interpret it literally

Off topic - but how come you don't follow the Tampa Bay Lightning if you're from that area?

That's the caveat about the 1st amendment...you have to sit there and take it when assholes want to be assholes.



That being said though, I'm amazed that someone hasn't torched their church yet.

I get it and I know but damn these people just need to set on fire

 

[bookjones]

**** the First Amendment, there are times that I just HATE people. Period.

 

[BiscuitintheBasket]

Attention. That is why they are doing it, for the attention.

then get a hot chick to flash everyone her tits. That will work and no one is really pissed off and if they are pissed off about boobs, screw them

 

[LordKOTL]

Actually, why not get a bunch of hot chicks to flsh the Baptists on their way to their sermon...



...or beter yet, hire some *** guys to give them the Celtic Warrior Salute...



After all, it is freedom of speech.

Incorrect, their reasoning is 100% faith based.

We're buying into their tactics... the more we discuss and talk about, the more "power" we give them.



Remember what Lisa Simpson said, "JUST DON'T LOOK!, JUST DON'T LOOK" (It has Paul Anka's gaurantee... guarantee void in Tennessee)



Although I will say... it astounds me that any organzation calling itself "Christian" could be so tactless and abhorrent.

Does it? Really? I mean, to me this is horrible, but not as bad as calling yourself a "Christian" organization and then allowing priest to rape children, and then paying for the lawsuits, settlements, and coverups out of the coffers that people are feeding in the name of enlightenment.



Nothing done in the name of "Christian" astounds me anymore.

unfortunately the really screwy ones do not want to see boobs. Only an angry god angry at gays, jew, chinks, spicks, spades, 'hawks fans, whatever.

Could we NOT turn this into another anti-religion/catholics thread?
