Westboro Baptist Church to picket funerals of 4 dead boyscouts

http://www.siouxcityjournal.com/blogs/news/?p=330

This just makes me sick

are they the same people who picket at soliders funerals because they think god killed the soliders because they were homosexual?

protesting at funerals is probably one of the worst things i can think of >_>

wtf is wrong with these people >__>

...so what? Were these homosexual boy scouts? Why would they protest this?viewtiful26

I'm a Boy Scout. An eagle scout, actually. I'm not really in a troop any more, but I've retained the wilderness skills and what not. This makes me sick... I have lost all faith in the human race.

Apparently God was punishing Nebraska and Iowa for persecuting WBC.

It makes me ashamed to be a christian.Ravirr

Don't let them represent you. (I'm not Christian, but the ones I know are some of the best people I've met)

I don't think any Christian should lose their faith because of this or be ashamed for that matter.

That said, their attempts are pathetic honestly. The Boy Scouts of America don't even allow homosexuals or atheists in so it's not like these specific members were homosexuals themselves and were struck by the wrath of God because God hated these homosexuals specifically.

Why doesn't someone hack their website? It's a small thing, but it's SOMETHING someone can do to them.RiSkyBiZ-13

because the only ones who will do that for free (Anonymous) won't do it unless they go after them specifically.

That's absurd.

I knew about homosexuals...but stheists? ugh, I'm sorry my american friends. But your country is home to some of the most ignorant people in the world.

The boyscouts are ran by the LDS church. That's why.

Didn't know that, makes sense now.

Do they get pleasure from this?

Pleasure is an immoral sin against God.

It's not ran by only the LDS church. There are several other organizations involved. You can find a list here. It's also a private organization which gives them the right to filter who can join allegedly.Genetic_Code

Not ran by, maybe, but they are majorly involved, and hold lots of influence over the organization.

Indeed it does. But, one group doesn't prove that...but I'm always hearing about all these racist remarks/acts, racist groups, homophobic remarks, etc...and where do they come from?
Americans.
Anyone see the video where a they interviewed a bunch of people from a state who weren't voting for Obama? And more or less it was because he was black (some people even straight out said "I don't want a black president").
Not to mention the hate on muslims from your country. when it was rumored Obama was Muslum everyone was up in arms..um hello? How ignorant can you get? Despite what your tryanically goverment is telling you Muslims are not all evil terrorists...in fact only a small number of these terrorists are muslim... I've met plenty of Muslims before, and they are some of the nicest poeple I know. The Muslim religion does not promote hate and death...you just see the extremists.In fact, if you want to judge a religion by extremists than Christians are by far the worst group ever created.
Not only does this thread alone provide evidence of that. But so many things from history prove that.
Two quick examples:
Salem Witch Trials
"Bloody" Mary/England in General during 1600s (year is probably wrong)(Bloody MAry=killed hundreds of people for not following her Christian religion, meaning not just non-christians, but anyone who didn't follow her specific christian religion. Meaning if she was catholic, anyone who wasn't catholic. So Christians killing other christians. And people not following the religion of the current leader...well...it was against the law. For more details search the web)

Like ugh, seriosuly my american friends. If you are one of the people who fall under the above, smarten up. And if you're not one of them, I'm sorry your entire country has had it's image destroyed because of those people.

These people are horrifying. They picket homosexuality, blacks, immigrants, and more. There's a short documentary by a college student on YouTube in which he interviews church members. It's almost sad to see how convinced they are that they're doing the right thing. They even have little 6 and 7 year old kids holding signs.

For those of you on Facebook, there is a group called "Godhates____.com" which has links to all of the church's Godhates___ websites. I think there's even a site for the Royal Family of Sweden or some country like that.

Truly disgusting.

Oh please. There's tons of blatant racism in Europe. Was it France that throws Bannanas at the black soccer players? Or was that another European country? That won't happen here. Ever.

Is anyone surprised by what these people do anymore?Rhazakna

nope, not surprised

Ugh. I'd give my full, honest opinion of Fred Phelps and the WBC, but it would break the Terms of Use. I will say this, though: Christians absolutely should not feel ashamed because of them, or feel any association with them at all. Even Jerry Falwell thought that they were nuts.GabuEx

I'm considering a roadtrip to Omaha to personally kick the sh!t out of the picketers.

Feel free to come...I'll pay for the gas.

It's worth noting that that particular rule was never supported at troop or district levels (where I have been a member of a troop.) Don't believe everything you hear.

I never said you said it was all Americans. You clealy didn't read my post. I'm just saying that there are countries in Europe that are far more racist and xenophobic than the US, at least publically.

wow, you should talk about ignorance, that is an incredibly ignorant post, you are generalizing a group based off a few people, and you say that americans/christians are ignorant

to counter your examples i have some of my own

9/11 muslims attacked innocent american civilians

muslims have bombed embassies

muslims attacked england's buses and subways,

muslims attacked spain's rail system

all of those times muslims killed many people and if i did some research i bet i could come up with a lot more examples

also tryant is defined as a sovereign or other ruler who uses power oppressively or unjustly so i really dont think that the american gov. can be described that way,

Is anyone surprised by what these people do anymore?Rhazakna

not really. Honestly, they could kill ten dead babies then piss on the bodies of marines coming from Iraq and Afghanistan and I would be angry, but I would be like "meh, I am not suprised".
