They waved rainbow flags, held hands and carried signs reading "God Cares for All Creation," "Ain't Nobody Got Time for Hate" and "God Hates People Who Say They Know Who God Hates."[/quote] [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=z1mhPVs0llI[/url]
In two minds. One one hand it's great they're opposing the WBC, on the other hand the WBC isn't a serious threat against any freedoms, and spending peoples time counter protesting seems like playing into their hands. I.e. if they hand't counter protested i wouldn't have known the WBC even protested there.

Sure those d-bags crave media attention but I think it matters more to see that people nowadays are willing to stand up and say 'no, fuck you' to the hate.
WBC are being bitches? What else is new?
I was listening to the radio the other day and I heard the leader of WBC try and defend themselves. It was a right laugh.
[quote]"God Hates People Who Say They Know Who God Hates."[/quote] Okay, I just can't suppress a giggle with stuff like this.
It's a shame that the W"BC" are such attention whores. What's the point if you aren't going to sell T-shirts? CONVERSION? NO. Definitely doesn't work like that. "Hey you're a fucking faggot and god hates you and the troops in hell." "btw jesus"
i went past in a car and flipped them off
I really wish that people would stop reporting about these asshats. Seriously all you do is create the cult of personality around them and give them the infamy they need, they should never be reported on at all and just left to wither and rot as they lose their income.
Is it just me or is the WBC losing members. Seems like a much smaller turnout than normal.
I wonder why people still believe in god but not Santa. I mean, both are old, have a beard, you've never really seen them, and everything that "they" do, is actually done by some other guy dressed as him or doing his job.

There is a difference between a religion and a real person who was misinterpreted by modern society to be a religious icon when in fact he was not. Santa or "Saint Nick" was just a regular man who just wanted to spread cheer to the children in his town.

God's is that he does miracles and things happen because he wanted them to, not something where you can watch and go "yep, God was here."
Someone needs to get together a bunch of money and stuff and send Westboro a big honkin' flower boquet and a thank you letter, because I honestly think they've united more people in the name of peace, love and the kindness of God than anything else lately. What do people do when they see a group of Westboro members protesting? Get together and proclaim love. We should thank them for getting us Americans off of our asses and showing that we do indeed CARE about our fellow people!
I don't like gays but that church did It waaaay wrong, I mean "God H8's gays" lolz.

It's like... God made these people exist, to simply get people to fight for a common cause.

[QUOTE=da_maul;39726020]i went past in a car and flipped them off[/QUOTE]I'd do the same, good on ya.
honestly if these people ever picketed anything i was at, i'd just find a way to hook up extremely loud micspam to a sound system and just blast it to drown out their bullshit
thank god, sanity succeeded that day.
