Title: Re: Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest in Sandy Hook,Connecticut Post by: WoodstockVol on December 19, 2012, 07:13:57 EST Huh? Protest what? Their website(I went to it after I read They were protesting)said The shootings were(in Their opinions) God's punishment for Connecticut legalising Gay Marriage. They're protesting over that Title: Re: Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest in Sandy Hook,Connecticut Post by: RipleyVol12 on December 19, 2012, 09:34:26 EST Thry need to all be put down. That doesn't even make sense.I doubt God would punish kids for adult decision.
GO VOLS! :powert: Title: Re: Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest in Sandy Hook,Connecticut Post by: VoLynteer on December 19, 2012, 11:54:53 EST Huh? Protest what? Any high profile funeral to get publicity. Laws need to be changed to make funerals exempt from any type of protest.

This is not the time for these type of antics.

They'll get their asses kicked. G :angel: Title: Re: Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest in Sandy Hook,Connecticut Post by: Stogie Vol on December 19, 2012, 03:28:15 EST Westboro needs to be designated as a hate group. The fact that they hide behind religion and get tax exempt status makes me sick.

Laws need to be changed to make funerals exempt from any type of protest. Kansas tried and the Supreme Court said that law violated Westboro's 1st amendment rights Title: Re: Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest in Sandy Hook,Connecticut Post by: RIPLEYVOL on December 19, 2012, 05:20:24 EST An out of control vehicle could stop alot of those jackass peoples protest!

I have a lot of respect for the Patriot Riders for what they do for families of military casualties. Title: Re: Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest in Sandy Hook,Connecticut Post by: Creek Walker on December 19, 2012, 06:23:48 EST The Westboro Baptist Church people are just as nutty as Adam Lanza. They just take advantage of the First Amendment rather than the Second.
Having had occasion to speak to some of the Phelps (ol' Fred is their "pastor" and the whole family runs the church; all of them are attorneys), I can say first-hand that they truly are delusional. I've sat under preaching in Baptist churches all my life. I've never heard anything like the crap the fools from Westboro spew. They are a blight to Christianity and to organized religion in general. About five years ago, there were four high school cheerleaders killed in my hometown. As soon as the news hit the national wire, I got a notice in my office from Westboro saying they were going to come and picket the funerals. We all know how persuasive East Tennessee rednecks can be, and Westboro wound up backing away from their plans. It was probably for their own good. Title: Re: Westboro Baptist Church is going to protest in Sandy Hook,Connecticut Post by: Volznut on December 19, 2012, 08:31:18 EST They are a blight to Christianity and to organized religion in general. I am no fan of organized religion, and ever day that goes by, my distaste for it gets stronger.

May I present the fine members of the Laramie Project with their 10-foot homemade angel wings designed to block the view both ways. (http://www.mentalfloss.com/blogs/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/angel-action.jpg) They're going to make the trip from Durham to Newtown. (http://cyber.law.harvard.edu/cyberlaw2005/sites/cyberlaw2005/images/Outside.jpg) I hear they're not a fair-weather sort of group. (http://ww1.hdnux.com/photos/37/04/127256/3/628x471.jpg) |
