God Hates Gays...

....according to the Westboro Baptist Church in America.

Right Wing Christian Lunatics protested at funerals of servicemen killed in Iraq on the grounds that this is God's vengence for supporting a country that allows homosexuality.

As far as I see it there is little difference between these Christians and the muslim clerics so vilified in the press in this country. Both are anti-war, both use religion as their battering ram and both preach a doctrine of hate. I just wonder if there is any oil in Kansas.

 

Barmy, these people are clearly lunatics.

 

You can find radicals out on the end of any continuum, in any country and on any issue. They exist all over the globe.

 

I call them pseudo-Apostles. As far as I'm concerned Christianity is about love, overbearing and respect for your fellow human beings. These people showed no respect what-so-ever. Wether they hate gays or not is completely their issue, and they have the right to hate whomever they want to. But this? This is just not right, from a humanitarian point of view and a Christian I would say.

 

Unless they are right and all the rest of us are wrong!

 

I feel a great swell of pity for any children raised by or around these people. They just don't have a chance.

 

@BTA:
I can understand the need for your own faith (one should not compromise their beliefs simply to be a part of a group) but what's the point of building a church that noone else will join?

@HB:
I hope for your sake you're simply playing devil's advocate.

 

Phelps if a ****tard, all and all, and he is the only man I can ever say I hate. He is below rapists, he is below genociders, he is at the very bottom of humanity.

 

That is not a surprise to me, I see everyday something like that here in Spain, or even read this kind of things. I don't know who's right or wrong, I just don't understand how they teach that God forgives us all no matter what but on the other hand they go around like this.

 

It makes you embarrassed to be a member of the human race. How can someone consider THEIR political statement more important than the burial of a son or daughter and the intense grief of the family at such an intimate moment. It's a level of insensitivity and hatred that's awesome to contemplate.

 

@RutKowski One should feel sorry for these and their petty hatreds and narrow life viewpoints but not hatred for Phelps that in itself has its own pitfalls. But be prepared to Kick the living S**t out of them if necessary.

This is one of the problems of a so-called free society as has been said by other people better than me, I don't agree with his views and I would fight his views but I will also fight for his right to say those views.

His views though are born out of fear and also narrow-mindedness from his teachers. He has probably been brought up in a small tight-knit community that doesn't welcome original thought, open-minds and tolerance which all religions try to teach but usually fail with. IMHO this is because of a fear that all leaders have that if you let people think open mindedly and clearly about things they won't want the leaders in charge; this is one of the reasons they are so afraid of the internet and the free exchange of ideas etc.

{sorry step off soap-box and let people think for themselves}

 

Its sad that people with so called "christian" beliefs can not see past their own hatred and hypocrisy.
Whatever they feel about an issue as a person its completely inappropriate to use somebodies funeral as a place to protest their views.
Iraq itself is a completely different issue to what their protesting I just dont understand their attitude, what were they thinking?

It shows complete and utter lack of caring, lack of respect for their fellow humans.

 

It's Phelps. People should take him about as seriously as Chick.

And he's not the lowest of the low - he's clearly insane, but occasionally very amusing.

And for anyone wanting to learn more about his lunacy, his site is at http://www.godhatesfags.com/ .

Aand... a Wikipedia article about him. Clearly not a man to be taken seriously.

 

...Until you have to defend that love, overbearing, and respect with arms. Also, the subject, or even the defination, of these things changes from person to person, so Christianity is more like a hazard than anything. IMHO, that is.

But whatever; not the first time someone is missing a bolt from upstairs. Anyone remember that out-house WC peeping tom?

 

Omg, how can people take such a load of seriously?

 

I think it's great. The more Fred Phelpses running around, the more Pat Robertsons saying stupid things publicly, the more the sensible majority of the "religious right" will realize that it has to come down to earth and dissociate itself from it's extreme "Left Behinder" zealot wing...

 

Your all totally wrong, God loves gays!!
In Holland we have gay marriage and other random sodomy (like the gay parade, which should get banned), and how many Dutch soldiers did die in Iraq? 2: Dave Steensma and Jeroen Severs.
(Not suprisingly, since they shoved the Dutch (and Japanese) soldiers in some backend of Iraq, As-Samawah, but we're not complaining, nooooo sirree.

 

Oh dear. So many denominations and each one seems to know what Christianity is about and what or whom God loves or hates. Everyone should just return to Rome and things would be easier.

Christianity is about love but this doesn't mean everything is allowed. God hates perversion of the natural ways and homosexual acts qualify as such (attration is one thing, coveting or doing it is another). Apart from passages about homosexuality, God also says, "there will be no whore or whoremonger in Israel", there is also a commandment that says you won't covet another guy's wife or another woman's husband. Jesus says that enjoying sexual fantasies about someone is adultery in the heart. There's also something about divorce. Or premarital sex.

It's actually funny how a lot of thumping against homosexuality is done by churches that have no problem closing eyes to passages about fornication.

Just join up with Rome where everything is consistently wrong: adultery, premarital sex (so by definition threesomes are out), masturbation, fantasies, porn... This doesn't mean that sex in marriage is always sinless. You know, you could always be seeing a celeb's face instead of your spouse's or something. Or you could be regarding your spouse as a mere tool of sexual gratification.

As for godhatesfags.com, since when is Leviticus Gospel?

"JESUS CHRIST DIED ONLY FOR THOSE WHO BELIEVE." -- errr, what?

"ONLY GOD'S ELECT HAVE THE CAPABILITY TO BELIEVE." -- errr again...

"THE SODOMITES' ONLY HOPE IS TO HAVE THE UNAMBIGUOUS TRUTH PREACHED TO THEM, AND PERHAPS GOD WILL SOFTEN THEIR HEARTS AND GRANT THEM REPENTANCE TO DEPART FROM THEIR SIN AND NAME THE NAME OF CHRIST. NOT VERY LIKELY, THOUGH, SINCE GOD HAS GIVEN THEM UP." -- giving them up to affections is different from giving up on them...

"SODOMITES ARE PROUD OF THEIR SIN ("GAY PRIDE"), AND IN THAT PRIDEFUL STATE THEY CANNOT REPENT - YOU CANNOT REPENT OF SOMETHING YOU'RE PROUD OF." --- sounds about right... though it's true for all kinds of sins

Just don't think I'm on the gay side now just because I don't particularly like that site.

 

Luckily for gays, God does not exist or is indifferent, so really it is only people like Chev and the authors of that website that they need to worry about.
