Picketing Funerals…What next?

I just read this and am still in shock at the stupidity and ignorance of these people….

Westboro Baptist Church, (not affiliated with any national Baptist organization) the anti-Gay protesting group that call themselves a church from Topeka, Kansas is planning on picketing the funerals of the VA Tech victims. This group is known for picketing our fallen soldiers funerals, and now are reaching an even more disgusting low.

Their reason they stated was that shooter Cho Seung-hui was carrying out God’s wishes by punishing the victims who weren’t Christian. Excuse me??

“The evidence is they were not Christian. God does not do that to his servants,” WBC member Shirley Phelps-Roper

I’d like to know what God they are serving? It’s not the same one I know! This group is beyond disgusting, they are vile. All that they do is spill hate and they do it when people are vulnerable and hurting. Have they ever heard that God is love. A pastor friend of mine mentioned that he wished he was in Virginia instead of Hawaii where he lives, because he’d organize as many churches to gather at all the funerals to buffer those protesters out with songs of praise. I have to believe that good will conquer over evil and these hateful people will not prevail.

GRRR! This makes me furious mad These people came to our town a couple of years ago to picket the graduation of one of our high schools (they have an active gay/straight alliance club, with a rather obnoxiously vocal president). They blocked the entrances, waved signs, yelled at people walking in… at the wrong graduation ceremony! Their excuse was that the whole school system was corrupt & should be damned- the reality was they didn’t do their homework; both graduations are on the same day, same place- just different times. -P
