Cindy in C-ville Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I simply cannot understand how these people sleep at night. This quote from the "church" spokeswoman ... "Our job is laid out," she says, in comments sprinkled with biblical references. "We are supposed to blind their eyes, stop up their ears and harden their hearts so that they cannot see, hear or understand, and be converted and receive salvation." But then, according to a writer for the Tulsa World: "They have a very well-respected law firm in Topeka," Sherman says. "People in town said, 'Well, we don't like them, but if we want to win a case, we'll go to them." Why would the people of Topeka use them if they know their fees are paying these people to picket funerals for the purpose of causing people to reject God and go to h***? But here's my favorite quote from the article: "Westboro Baptist Church is an organization that essentially has no friends whatsoever on the far right, the far left or anyplace in between," Potok says Amen to that!

Their logic is so flawed I am amazed so many follow such quacks, but the pain they cause to military families...... I understand free speech - but to me this crosses the line to hate speech, and only because of political correctness (and the military famlies being left to fend for themselves) is this not stopped.

OH_Homeschooler Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I am convinced Fred Phelps is a closeted homosexual. Because of this, his life's mission is to prove that he is not a homosexual by relating everything in the world with evil homosexuality (hence the name of his website, "godhatesf...). His "klan" will protest anything and everything under the sun with the most twisted logic. Before they got the idea to protest military funerals (I believe the Phelps' logic behind this is that America is sinful and accepts homosexuality and thus, its military is evil), they would protest things like a play starring a Canadian actor because Canada permits gay marriage. I am not kidding. And they start the indoctrination very early. They have no problem with toddlers holding up their hateful signs. I can understand the disappointment behind the court's ruling but I can understand why they made that ruling. Plus, this allows for the possibility of people going to Freddy's funeral and celebrating. I mean, if they wanted to. (Although I believe that really the best thing to do is ignore them and not feed into their attention-whore ways). But wouldn't it be nice to give them a taste of their own medicine? If only that wouldn't make them feel even more like martyrs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We all work, and we all pay our own way," she says. "We don't ask for anything from anyone, and we don't take anything from anyone." The protests are in themselves a source of some income, according to Potok. Over the years the Phelpses have filed lawsuits against communities that try to stop them from demonstrating. "And as a general matter they have won," he says. "They know their First Amendment rights very well, and they've been very good at defending them." When they win, they often receive tens of thousands of dollars in court fees. And their winning streak is likely to continue, now that the Supreme Court has decided that Westboro's right to free speech trumps the right of families to bury their loved ones undisturbed." So people hire them as lawyers. And, they sue communities when the communities protest their sludge. Yuck, yuck, and triple yuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are simply human vermin, but hate speech is free speech and it must be recognized as such. I issue comes when the definition of hate speech is changed to the point where such a definition becomes a means of controlling what people say. Europe and I believe Canada have started this game and the truth is that in many places in Europe the right to free speech has effectively been eliminated.

We saw them once when we visited my brother-in-law's parish, and they were protesting across the street while the first communicants were lining up outside to process in. They were there on a regular basis. They recently protested at our parish and all churches of all denominations in the same town. The reason? It was the "birthplace of the Patriot Guard."

pqr Posted March 8, 2011 Share Posted March 8, 2011 (edited) Then there is this from the UK http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-12664346 From the article: -Judge Riddle said the ceasefire at 11am on 11 November 1918 had "huge significance" for Britain and marked the end of a "terrible war". He added: "Against that background, interrupting the two minutes' silence by chanting 'British soldiers burn in hell', followed by the burning of poppies, is behaviour that is bound to be seen as insulting." The court was previously told that the grandson of a World War II soldier felt "sick inside" as Muslim extremists burned replica poppies....... ......About 20 men at the demonstration joined in with shouts of: "Burn, burn, British soldiers, British soldiers, burn in hell." The crowd continued: "British soldiers - murderers, British soldiers - rapists, British soldiers - terrorists."

The sad thing is when a society is so stupid that they cannot across the board know the difference between "free speech" for the purpose of debating legitimate ideas and "hate". One of the problems is calling anyone with a different view, as being hateful, when they are not. That's been expressed right here on this board. If we could differentiate between the two then we could eliminate this type of thing without doing away with legitimate free speech.

Satan is certainly good at what he does-and yet he is clearly losing since so many out there can see them for what they are. I am just afraid that non-believers will think this is what Christians are like and be turned against our religion. It was ironic that I had read that day a scripture from Ephesians that spoke of telling the truth in love. They are so far from that mandate, it is sickening. It is true God hates homosexual acts (not homosexuals) and it is also true he loves us all and wants us all to come to him. How can they be so blind? They are not Christians.
