So, Westboro Baptist Church paid our town a visit.

[monkey-skitz 91]

as much as i despise the westborough baptist church, you cannot deny that they are the only group who follows the bible to the letter. they wage violence against anyone who doesnt follow their religion and their specific ways of life.

the more modern varieties of christianity have matured and arent nearly as psychotic, but that doesnt change the fact that the WBC are the only 100% faithful.

see this is why i despise organised religion. if you want to believe in a deity, then believe in it. just dont force your imaginary overlords will on everyone else around you. ESPECIALLY your children, let them decide what they want to believe when they are old enough to decide form themselves.

Have you guys seen the fly on the wall documentaries about the Westboro Baptist Church done my Louis Theroux? He did one a while ago then came back and did like a follow up one more recently. It's really interesting to see just how insane they are within their own company. In the first one he actually talks to one of the small kids about what "fags" are and he has no idea. He spouts this rubbish that's been force fed him about America and troops or something, and obviously has no idea what he's saying. The head of the church also says that if you're gay you're going to eat your own babies or something stupid like that.

Here' the first part of the first documentary (called America's Most Hated Family):

The second documentary is called America's Most Hated Family In Crisis.

Luckily I live in England, so there are a few thousand miles between the WBC and myself.
Closest I get to this sorta thing is people 'spreading the word of God'. I tell them to spread it somewhere else, because that shit stinks.

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.

Only the Old Testament version.

Well, and I could be wrong, the god of the bible is actually two more gods - then it counts.

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

gotta love that Scientology doesn't actually have religion status in Britain as well, although its awesome in Germany where they actually have pamphlets to war people about Scientology next to pamphlets about Islamic extremism.

Yea and the fact that they tried to come to Britain once and out goverment actually made it illegal for them to enter.

I give an applaud to you gentlemen and ladies of Unnamed-town-in-California. While the hero who sabotaged the van could be looked upon both ways, breaking a window of the Police department has to be the most idiotic thing I could ever imagine.

"I bet no cop will be looking!"

Sounds like god to me.

and thank goodness the WBC isn't active in europe.

As However, some anonymous hero had slashed all of their tires and removed their license plates, as well as cause all of the oil from the van to leak out.

I would hardly call vandalism and destruction of property "heroic" to say the least. Even in the case of the WBC.

I don't like the WBC, but dickishness does not justify dickishness.

I wound up costing the Worthless Bastard Cult 5 grand, considering they sue anyone who attacks them for being foul and offensive I'd consider that a victory. The person who did that is not a hero per-se, but what they did took guts and it hit those assholes where they feel it.

Also if that's how these pricks treat law enforcement officers, with swears and abuse, why the hell are they given such good protection? Let the rock hit them, might knock some sense into them.

And how is it not considered child abuse to raise your children on such hatred and putting them in the line of fire for counter protesters? In fact I think they use them as human shields and if they do get hurt they can sue the perpetrator(s) for even more for harming the child they put in harms way on purpose.

O, that's just because you're all...um...hell, I got nothing.
You are lucky.

Sounds like someone in need more of a therapist than worshipers to me.

OT:
I was thinking...why doesn't think happen more often.
I mean, I know it's against the law and free speech and all that lovely jazz, but why is the WBC still so active?
You'd think, by now, folks would have hit their main compound with pancake mix or some sort of massive USD costing prank.

Come to think of it, we do have Jehovah's witnesses, but open the door naked to them and they won't return, so easily solved problem.

As I was walking back from the park, a large group of about 20 people were surrounding them, shielding the outside world from their false, perverted message of the Bible. They were completely trapped, and even though some cops were trying to break up the circle the people remained tight. Eventually, the members gave up and ran back to their van. However, some anonymous hero had slashed all of their tires and removed their license plates, as well as cause all of the oil from the van to leak out. One of the Westboro moms screamed at the cops, "Some punk vandalized our car! Do your damn job and find them!". A cop, clearly annoyed by the members quickly asked the crowd, "Does anyone know who did this?". Then they said to the members, "Well, no one has come forth with info. We'll start an official investigation and try to find out who did this." One of the Westboro moms screamed at the cop, "You lazy oath-breaking bastard! You need to do your job, or I'm reporting you to your captain!". Although this scene was too hilarious, I had to get home. According to one of my friends who was there, they ended up later being towed and fined 5,000$ for apparently breaking a window at the police station. Finally, the people in my town have the guts to stand up to these morons.

Vandalizing their van was actually a dumb thing to do. They could have just left, but instead they were stuck there and everyone was subjected to more of their bullshit because of it. Whoever did it should have thought of that first.

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

Holy crap that's hilarious.

If they're allowed to protest however they want, why do people not just go home, scrawl 'DONGS' on a bedsheet, hang it between a couple of sticks and follow them around all day? It would kinda take any mote of seriousness away, and if they crossed this 'Line where they can sue you', you could be rich!

I intend to prepare such a banner now!

 

[Barziboy]

I'd have thought that they'd lay-low or a bit after the Norway-Massacre...
