around4ever 4,139 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 This group has no place in religion. How do the Baptist allow this church to carry the name. I would fly or drive to Colorado to help form a wall if they do plan this. I make no promises as to what else I may do to this group. Which is exactly the response they want. They want violence to break out so they can sue everybody and their brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want violence to break out so they can sue everybody and their brother. Every Baptist church in the nation should disavow Westboro. They are one of the most evil groups of people on this planet. Peruse their wikipedia article. They're not affiliated with any Baptist convention and their tactics have been disavowed by all but the most extreme pockets of humanity. Plus, they tend to get a lot more press than is warranted. It's a congregation of about 40 people, mostly the family of Fred Phelps. If we could just get around to ignoring them then maybe they'd go away. An understandably difficult proposition, as a4e pointed out. If I saw them at a loved ones funeral I can't promise I'd not react the same way. Geez... Why, just why? It's because we live in a fallen world bro. Evil abounds at every turn. The nature of what is happening in this world was predicted in the most historical book ever written. And it has yet to be proven untrue. It's because of one mentally disturbed individual who believed he was The Joker. Nothing more, nothing less. I would agree that these are extraordinary times, but it has more to do with the fact that almost anyone, even sociopaths, can easily get their hands on semi-automatic rifles, 100 round drum magazines, and full body armor in this day and age. And it's not just guns. I could find the knowledge, using nothing more then Google, to make a deadly weapon using things we have in our houses at this very moment. These people have always been around, the only thing that has changed are the tools. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
