I disagree. As much as I detest the worthless scum that attends the Westboro Baptist Church I have yet to witness violence from them~

Because the WBC accurately represents all of Christendom.

:rolleyes:

Sorry, I wasn't referring to Islamic terrorists/killers. More the Palestinians that cheered on 9/11.

It's religion. My point is valid.

Correct. It's not fair to do that, and I'm not.

I grew up without it. I've just never felt I've needed it.

Idiot.

Serious question Prison Bitch. Are you a member of WBC? Someone mentioned it earlier but I didn't know if it was in jest etc.

Your point is ridiculous.

Show me how I'm wrong, Fred Jr.

No... they package their view of homosexuality in religious terminology, using the genuinely prohibitive commandments against homosexuality in scripture out of the context of the whole of scripture, because the whole refutes virtually everything they stand for.

They are no more a "church" group than the Nation of Islam is a "nation"

He won't answer that question. It's been repeatedly asked of him. He won't explicitly say that he supports them either (only because he knows everyone would ridicule him even more than they do now). He, also, won't condemn anything that they do.

To each his own.

People let religion dictate far too much in their lives.

I don't need a list of rules to remind me to not be a ****ing asshole.

Lol. This.

I'm going to sell a new version of the bible. Chapter 1; verse 1: don't be an asshole. The end.

I know that there has been at least one reformed former associate of WBC poster here, but PB doesn't strike me as the type. When have you ever seen them mince words or tiptoe around what they think, or spend any time worrying what others think of their views? If he were a WBCer he would be coming straight ahead with all the rhetoric and the pseudo-religion that is supposedly behind it. Have you guys ever talked to one of them? He's not anything like them.

Exactly.

Obviously, you know very little about the subject. You couldn't have made a more simplistic argument if you had been using crayons.

They will all go to hell for putting the false god "attention whore" before their real God.

It must also be a bit depressing for WPC members to know that they've dedicated their entire life to a cause/church yet they haven't made a single positive impact in the life of anyone and if they all vanished off of a cliff nobody would care.

I prefer watercolors.

I'd imagine their defectors feel pretty awful about their life choices and affiliation.

Those still knee deep in the shit probably think they're holy crusaders doing the work of god. So, they likely aren't bothered by this notion, nor does it cross their mind. I can't step inside the mind of a nut-job religious crusader very well, so PB might be the best poster to truly address the subject.

And they're all attention whores of the worst variety, so there is obviously no shame in their game.

One of the best quotes I've ever heard/read. From Rust Cohle, True Detective.

In that context I can see the comparison~

Payless, Mother****er :D

Quite honestly, I can't believe it hasn't happened yet.

They protested at Emporia when I was there (for some damn reason, I don't remember. It was a stretch at best) and my buddy went right through the thick of them. He said they beat on his windows and shit. He had JUST bought that car like 3 days earlier. It'd have been tough for me to not slip on my shitkicking boots if I'd been with him. Much less if I were at a funeral.

It's really hard for me to believe there has been NO violence. But I know it'd be reported all over the news if it had.

Racist!!!

Oh so this is it.

We used to have a group come to campus and preach near building a few times a semester about going to hell for all these sins like being friends with homo's, sex before marriage and how the rapture is coming VERY soon.

All these people want is a negative reaction with arguing. People would go out there and just so worked up crying and yelling at them. And that's exactly what they want! If we had time between classes we'd stand out there and just laugh at them. We'd tell them they were plagiarizing stories from Stephen King about gloom and doom. Told them they would sell some books if the changed it up a bit. Add a little unseen twist.

These group attract people who will protest their message. I would just stand, laugh and applaud them without saying a word in tribute to Robin Williams at his funeral. Make it comical because they shit they spew is seriously hilarious.

I'm always impressed when someone takes a stand against Westboro Baptist. It's so brave and heroic, akin to a firefighter rushing into a burning home and saving a little child.

I'm always impressed when someone thinks hate is a way to get closer to God and a meaningful "afterlife."

Damn, will someone just do a drive by already? What a useless bunch of slap dicks.

Prison Bitch is just a ****ing troll. A troll playing the long game, but a troll none the less.

These are the people the police should be blasting....

Things like that are huge blobs of drama and stress. Quite some time ago I was in a location where a protest was going on. Not a WBC protest, it was a place of business and there was a group of people with signs lining the walkway. One of them wandered into the walkway and got in my face, started loudly yammering his bullshit at me. I must admit that for a split second I lost it and went after him. Luckily he scooted very quickly backwards, and the person I was with just barely managed to grab my wrist, so dragging her sideways slowed me down. I ended up face to face with the guy just a few feet from a cop when I snapped out of it. The cop didn't even move, actually looked the other way. And I'm the kind of guy that really just doesn't get into fights.

LMAO keep defending your buddy~
