I love that the students went outside in force with their own picket signs. Nice to see them not being affected by the Westboro shite.
I never understood the whole picketing thing for things like this(or anything generally). Why would anyone decide to make signs and stand in protest on the other side of the road against people who are basically real-life trolls? That would probably be close to #1 on my list of absolutely pointless ways to waste your life, as you achieve nothing and give them free publicity. Do they expect these extremists(aren't they actually taking the bible more literally than most?) to change their views due to a small counter-protest like this? I just don't understand what would compel anyone to do such a thing.
I think they are talking about another god than the one I heard of.
By the way: Could you actually go to the police and say they insulted you when they hold those signs up to your nose? I would feel insulted by their dumbness.

They could justify it with god hating the Westboro Church.
At least the Jews are happy that someone else hates Westboro just to get the hate off them, and see how Westboro likes to get hated on.

well he'd be about as legit as they are
They troll in real life like moralfags.
I wish all Christians would just come out and be themselves like this instead of being hypocrites half the time. Then maybe people would realise how batshit insane they are and some of their influence would be removed from our culture. At least these guys are honest.

Dumb christians =/= all christians.
Just because I believe something doesn't mean I'm a retard hating on gays or other peoples opinions. That has nothing to do with believing in a god, thats just because you're an asshole who needs to tell others what is right and what is not.
To be correct, I dislike [i]religion[/i].

Every time I ask any religious person I feel comfortable enough asking, whether or not they believe god hates gays, and they always give me some bullshit about it being unnatural, a sin, a [i][b]choice[/b][/i] (that's the most common thing), and how god will help them if they only ask. Shit like that.
All Christians are the same, except most of them take from the bible what they choose and don't have the guts to really go all the way like these people do.

That's bullshit, Jesus wouldn't hate gays. He sat down with the scum of that time, healed the whores and poor people. But you didn't ask for my opinion.
Oh and grats on generalization. :downsbravo:

Hi. I'm Christian and I think that God loves and accepts everyone equally black, white, asian, gay, lesbian, terrorists, etc.

+50 respect
I dont go to church on a daily basis much because I will admit that there are hypocrites in the church but not everyone is like that at all. You need to get your facts straight and stop being as ignorant as those Westboro weirdos.

You forgot to mention that he hates anyone who behaves like a human unless you get down on your knees and beg for forgiveness. Oh, also, despite there being absolutely no reason to believe in him other than some ancient sand farmers said you have to, he'll send you to burn and suffer for all time if you don't.

Uh no thats the opinion of some people and also the old testament. Thats not what Jesus said. Hell is old testament. He forgave a murderer who was hanging next to him on the cross. You really need to get your facts straight if you want to talk about this, and stop generalizing.
And the whole thing is not about believing in the bible either. It is a personal thing.

The bible also says that its okay to have slavery and child abuse but I dont believe in that.

That's because you take from the bible what you want from the bible, and discard the rest.

What the fuck are you talking about? Firstly, I said the believe in Jesus has nothing to do with the bible, fuck the bible.
You are just as close minded as the people you are complaining about.

How is it bad to discard the belief of beating children and slavery. How does that prove anything.
You seem to make as much sense as these Westboro guys.

No, I don't "make up my own shit". I don't need to follow things in there that were valid 2000 years ago.

Dude you didn't even read the bible. Alot of things there are even STATED to be just peoples opinions and stories about characters. How is that the word of god? It isn't.
God rarely states things in there.
[QUOTE=Malumbre;18348871]It is the word of god.[/QUOTE]
And you believe that?
You actually believe that you should beat children and have slaves?

They make perfect sense. I've seen the shit they're talking about in the bible. They follow the bible. That's all. What's not to get about that? It's the "christians" that pick and choose what they want and what's literal, what's a metaphor, what god was really trying to convey when he talks about how herding goats applies to modern life, etc, that confuse the hell out of me.
