    Connecticut school shooting: Westboro Baptist Church planning to picket - Oklahoma City Top News | Examiner.com

    Sheesh, is there anything these lunatics won't exploit as an occasion to go out and rant about "fags"? The murders of little kids at an elementary school? Really? Did they think they were all little Sodomites and God was punishing them?

    I'm seriously almost shaking in rage.

    Why can't they be the ones who get killed in a mass shooting?

    Fuckers. What would they do if it were their children? They won't dare even think about that, though.

    Because the rights of atheists, muslims, jews, and countless other faiths don't matter. By his logic, even if they did allow prayer in schools and there was a shooting, it was because there were muslim students or the atheists refused to pray. What bullshit. God didn't help because he is an imaginary friend for adults.

    Am I surprised? Not really, these people will do anything they can to get attention from the public. However, one would think they would have some sort of respect for the grieving parents. The fact that they don't just shows the world the kind of horrible people they are. Honestly, the best way to get back at the atrocity that they will be doing is to just blatantly ignore it and them. They're like a child throwing a tantrum who is acting out to get attention. By even acknowledging them, you're giving them exactly what they want.

    Honestly, they would say still say it is God's will. They were sinners and obviously deserved it. That's how messed up they are.

    The thing you have to rememeber is... Fred Phelps is a profoundly unhappy narcissist, and 90% of the congregation of his "church" are his family members. The whole clan is a bunch of crazy, screwed up attention seekers.

    They do what they do not because of any religious doctrine, but because they are attention-seekers and will do absolutely *anything*, no matter how outrageous, to get themselves in the spotlight.

    When you think about it in that context, they're just a sad bunch of zeros trying to use anything they possibly can to draw attention to themselves. And when people get outraged... it just gives them more of what they want.

    When people just ignore them and treat them like the pathetic, broken people they are... and stop paying attention to their desperate attempts at relevance, then they will stop having any influence.

    You have to understand their weird theology. They are five point Calvinist Baptists. Their theology is this: tolerance of homosexuality dooms nations irrevocably. The United States does not have the death penalty for gay sex. Therefore, homosexuality is tolerated. Therefore, we are doomed irrevocably.

    Now, here's where it gets really good.

    Every time something really bad happens, the faithful must go and rub that tragedy in everyone's face, because that is a manifestation of God's judgment for tolerating homosexuality (i.e. the government not systematically killing us).

    Now, here's where it gets really, really good.

    We must all repent of our sins and the sins of others, even though as Calvinists, they believe only they are in the Elect, so we're all going to burn in Hell anyway. Everyone who isn't them is damned, either because they are queer, support queer people, or hate us but not enough to want to kill us, or believe in stuff like mainstream Christianity (i.e. the rejection of the Elect), which the Westboro Baptist Church considers heresy.

    TL;DR: God hates America because we don't have the death penalty for being gay, and everything bad that ever happens is God slowly destroying the country (evidently, he's really fucking bad at it, if all he can do is get a little kid off his rocker to go kill other little kids). Ya, because Calvinism makes sense. :rolle:

    They are a cult...they say Christian but do NOT act according to Jesus Christ.
    I wish we could airbrush out the Baptist, cuz I AM A TRUE BAPTIST! They make us all look bad.

    It sucks that one part of "Christianity" can make the rest look bad. There are good churches out there. I have many friends that are Christians and they don't hate the gays. It's the crazy fundies that cause problems. They are the ones that drive a ton out of religion.

    It doesn't surprise me that WBC is doing this. They tried to picket Chardon too. Too many people showed up to protest them though.. So they left.
