So, Westboro Baptist Church paid our town a visit.

[DuskServent]

I'm wondering, has anyone ever thrown Warhammer references against them? See how they act when someone speaks loudly about the God Emperor?
They are the worst irl trolls, but it is still easy to make fun of them xD

 

[Canid117]

Nice, I mean, sure the law was broken and the person who perpetrated the crime, I think it was totally awesome. Of course the fact that the WBC people freaked out and got a fine, makes it even better

Californication sounds like an awesome name for a band. Or maybe a porno. Anyway its the WBC what do you expect? Sanity?

It is already the title of a TV show starring David Duchovny.

Hmm I thought it was californiacation like the RHCP song but I guess not. Still a great name for a porno.

shielding the outside world from their false, perverted message of the Bible.

You're...serious? Aren't you?
.
The god of the chirstian bible is one of the most horrid villains in all of human history.
A vile, prideful, bigoted, mass murder who demands complete obedience for his love - or else he'll send you to a place of eternal torment.
.
While I think WBC is a horrid organization of bigots they're no different than The Pope or Jerry Falwell - they're just more open about their bigotry and hate.
.
The WBC just doesn't have as good as a publicist.

 

[Merkavar]

you aint got no pancake mix should be all of our responses to them.

Warhammer quotes like this?

Blessed is the mind to small for doubt

or

'Orkses is never beaten in battle. If we win we win, if we die so it don't count as beat. If we runs for it we don't die neither, so we can always come back for anuvver go, see!'

You realise talking about what is supposed to be the divine architect of the cosmos, a being representing the unity and oneness of all things, in human terms and applying a personality to it, is absolute fallacy?

 

[Dr Snakeman]

Not that I advocate vandalism, but that story had me rolling. You should have done this:

YES! I love this. "Screw you lady, I'm not going to participate in your argument. We are going to have my argument, the way I want to have it! Pancake mix!"

I need to do that the next time I encounter a statement so hilariously offensive that it would be more productive to mock it mercilessly.

Actually, wait a minute. I think I can do that right now...

Dunno if the video posted or not, I suck at bbcode.

Anyhow, they're IRL trolls. The madder they make us, the better they feel about themselves.

Well, I didn't vote for him.

Seriously though, if you proved to me tomorrow that the literal god of the bible did exist, I still wouldn't worship him. He's a monster, and I'd rather live true to myself than be threatened and coerced into a life of mind slavery.

OT: As for these guys, the best policy is to ignore them. They make a living off of publicity and lawsuits. Take away the attention and outrage of the populace and they'll dry up like worms in the sun.

 

[JustJuust]

*stands and starts clapping slowly*

You're very calm aren't you? I probably would have been too mad to say anything like you said, I probably would have sounded like a total idiot arguing against a total idiot. Props to you man

 

[cybran]

That's interesting and all, but isn't tracking their every move and giving them play-by-play coverage wherever they go only helping them accomplish what they want? Every bit of criticism they see and hear is only validation to them, and giving them notoriety only spreads their "word" further. Why not just ignore them to death? I mean there's, what 72 of them? That's no army. That's hardly enough to make a decent mob. If we stop being their voice and broadcasting their actions, they will no longer have the impact they've made us think they have.

He wasnt exactly writing a paper column about this, we're on the ESCAPIST, theres noone from that damn church here, and it was a funny story. So I find it weird you dont want him to share it... or maybe you just troll...

 

[Aidinthel]

All I can say is that if Heaven is really populated by people like that I'm glad I'm going to Hell, and I almost wish I could meet them face-to-face to tell them that. Almost.

Also, this story makes me glad I live in england, only scientology here that makes PDAs.

 

[likalaruku]

That story was like a Lemonhead; a tart start with a sweet finish.

I just loose my shit with those people, even at the risk of getting sued. We argue, scream, insult eachother's beliefs, & then break out in a b**ch-on-b**ch catfight, & I hear it's pretty amusing to watch 2 chicks try to kick eachother in the nads.

Well, yeah, of course...but I was just quoting the OP and the book from which both claim is 'the word'.
Scary stuff.

This right here is exactly what they should've done. They don't deserve to be taken seriously.

Going by your code, you also have to remove the "&" and everything after it from the URL. Thanks for the help.

 

[teebeeohh]

if i remember correctly just going around insulting people is how these dipshits make money, that why they protest the funerals of soldiers, they hope to get beaten up and then sue the city/county/whatever because they allowed people to violate their freedom of speech.

oh god i hate those guys, they give Christians a bad name and while i don't like organized religion people who try to shove their believes down my throat and think religion better stay the hell away from how my taxes are being spend most Christians i know are nice people who just don't believe in the one true creator (the flying spaghetti monster) and take their values (which are 90% the same as mine) from another source than me.

 

[Farseer Lolotea]

Word. That lot would turn any heaven into a hell by their very presence. What's that old saying: heaven for the climate, but hell for the company?

@ OP: I'm both sorry you had to deal with that, and glad that someone stood up to them.

 

[DudeistBelieve]

Really, I'm hoping for the day one person stands up and takes one for the team and rids us of all of them. Yes, children too.

That's not a threat in anyway, just hope.

EDIT: As much as I like free speech there should be "Don't Be An Asshole" Laws for exactly these kinds of people.

 

[lizards]

Beautiful. Although technically the law was broken, I'm glad the local law enforcement looked the other way this time. WBC needs to recognize that Americans have had enough of them. They won't of course but one can dream...

[sub]*happy to be Canadian and WBC free*[/sub]

you canadians and your really awesomeness....i want a wbc free place to...
