Religious Nuts

The Westboro Baptist Church decided that they were going to show up at the funeral for those poor Amish girls that were killed. Not to show their support for the families of the fallen, not to protest gun violence or child molesters. No, instead they wanted to create a spectacle around the proceedings because Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell called them whackos, or something like that. So, because these Amish families happen to be in Pennsylvania, despite the fact they have little contact with the outside world, they would be targets of this hate group, the Westboro Baptist Church. Now, mind you they do not represent other Baptists at any level. They are even excluded from any national or world Baptist conventions or support. They are nut jobs whose sole purpose is to criticize America for its tolerance for homosexuality. They have protested military funerals for this same reason. They go on radio and television to promote their personal agenda of instituting the death penalty for all homosexuals. They actually state this on their website, www.godhatesfags.com. So, they're taking it out on the rest of the world, despite the pain we all feel. I'm calling for more poeple like the Patriot Riders, to prevent this group from interfering with funerals of all kinds. For those of you who don't know, the Patriot Riders are motorcyclists that ride around this group to keep them away from military funerals. Better yet, it would be awesome if a whole slew of gay people held a giant rally outside the Westboro Baptist Church on Sundays, ad any other time they hold a church service or get-together. Let them know what it's like. They claim soldiers, and even the young Amish girls all died at the hands of a vengeful God and that there are no innocents. They give credit to God for all death and destruction. Well, let's show them God is responsible for the intereference of their work. Let them explain that one!
