In that case, here's to them protesting Fred's funeral when he splits hell wide open here in a few years/months/weeks/days/hours/minutes.

True.. Wish more people would handle it like they did at aTm. That human wall was great.

Also to Dave, you've clearly shown that you concede that the Westboro Baptist Church does hideous and evil things. With that said, if you deny God, then it follows you deny that objective moral values exist. WBC's evil would merely be subjective and therefore determined by you and I. If they think it's good and is not evil, who says that their moral code is anymore right or wrong than ours? In the end, us and them are in the same boat in terms of our moral law and after death (no hell below, no heaven above). Like Dostoevsky once said, without God everything is morally permissible.

Of course that is entirely dependent upon you believe if God delivered the objective moral standards in the first place.

can morality be explained in a society without God? Not saying one NEEDS God to commit good acts, but that there would be no objectively true moral law without a moral law giver.

I wouldn't mind this organization losing it's tax-exempt status, and labeled as a terrorist organization.

That'd be a win in my book by President Obama and Congress.

Did morality exist prior to humans?

What is true moral law?

As much as I despise them it wouldn't be a win. They've committed no terrorist acts. They are merely exercising their freedom of speech.

No, they're a hate group, that's what it is. They need to be dealt with, and accourdingly.

The American Bar Association defines hate speech as "speech that offends, threatens, or insults groups, based on race, color, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, disability, or other traits."

Do you think the Westboro Baptist Church is exercising its right to free speech, or does this classify as hate speech?

I don't think so.

Therefore, I have no problem with labeling them as a terrorist group and shipping their asses first class to Gitmo.

Hate speech is a slippery slope, This is America we can't attack problems with Soviet tactics.

Force them into military service, I'm sure they'd make "operation human shield" a success

Sometimes, if we have to clean up the mess, especially with some organization cults, we'd have to go with Soviet tactics. I'm tired of hearing those loons running around wild with no restrictions at all.

I'm not saying you have to attack them physically. I'm saying, attack them psychologically. Hit them. Hard. Reclassifying them as a "hate" group would be a great start.

There is no logic into picketing a vigil. None. Zip. Zero.

This WBC crap has got to end.

I would rather someone just took care of them physically, I wouldn't shed a tear. We don't need to label them as I think we've already done that, it would be nice if the courts would reject hearing their cases. I agree that picketing anything related to death is not only senseless but also against the plain teachings of Jesus.
