thats gotta be fake


religious people suck but they cant suck that bad

1/23/2008 10:48:27 AM

sure they can

1/23/2008 10:49:05 AM

it seemed plausible until I got the the line "God hates fags, and fag-enablers"

1/23/2008 10:49:49 AM

Coming from GGfag it probably isn't (fake) because it's very likely that he is the one who wrote it.

someone go to godhatesfags.com and see if its real

I dont want to go there while at work

1/23/2008 10:53:12 AM

Oh my goodness! I hope that is fake. If not, way to spread Christian love. No one has the right to say someone is going to hell. These people are really going to get A LOT of people to follow the teachings of Jesus.

Is that the church that is made up of all family members?

1/23/2008 10:53:14 AM

Yeah, the same loonies who protest military funerals.

Pretty much. I'm hoping the father gets killed, and maybe the rest of them disband.

1/23/2008 10:55:18 AM

they do know it was just a movie right?

1/23/2008 10:56:39 AM

I wonder what his funeral will be like.

1/23/2008 10:57:09 AM

i'll be out there.

this fag-enabler has to get what's coming.

1/23/2008 10:58:00 AM

you would think they had better things to do...mob mentality gets a point across but NEVER changes things.
Can someone put up the video of that crazy woman talking about people burning in hell bc they are homosexuals.

this one?

1/23/2008 11:01:21 AM

This is extremely real.

Check out the Westboro Baptist Church on Wikipedia, this is probably one of their least offensive protests. That website is real, and if you can stomach some of that shit on there, it's absolutely mind-blowing at how serious and fucked up this group is.

1/23/2008 11:02:23 AM

These are basically two families who have their own unaffiliated "Baptist" church that they started when pops the preacher got kicked out of Eastside Baptist church back in 55. They have turned into a fucking cult of lawyers who love to start trouble and get their name in the news. They spend a shitload of money (200k+) a year travelling around prostesting military funerals, AIDS patient funerals, movies that portray homosexuals positively, theater (because you know its a lot of gays in the theater), etc. They hate the USA, Jews, Christians, Muslims, and basically everybody else that is not them.

it'd be nice if the leader got put away in prison for some of the shit he's done (like shooting his dog because it was "irritating him")

"Phelps does not permit Westboro members to marry persons outside the church. As relatively few individuals have joined Westboro, there have been at least two marriages between the Phelps and Hockenbarger clans, resulting in some members having dual genealogical relationships"

1/23/2008 11:11:17 AM

My wife had a pretty good friend named Beth with seven kids who was in a really bad car accident. A drunk driver killed her and 5 of her kids about a month ago, it was on Nancy Grace and all.

Phelps protested at their funeral saying that the kids were martyrs for a fine he had received. My wife said there were picketers all over the cemetary.

1/23/2008 11:12:47 AM

YES!! I will only watch it once so that I only get angry once. It is not right to keep angering myself.
Thanks chembob! I did not know what words to look for that.

1/23/2008 11:13:26 AM

everything in this thread is fucking creepy


i can't beleive that fat lady is serious. there are really people like that who exist and that makes me a little scared.

1/23/2008 11:13:35 AM

Haha, that second one is awesome. Dude is like, your obviously nuts.

1/23/2008 11:19:10 AM

I just wonder what that family church will think when, like she says, "the wrath of God" is poured on them.
That would be some irony right there.

"Friends and family filled a Lutheran church Tuesday to remember four children and a young mother killed in an Ohio interstate crash. "Bethany, Haley, Vadie, Lacie, Jordan. You will not be forgotten!" the message board outside Saint Luke Lutheran Church read as they filed into the church under sunny skies. Bethany Griffin, 36, of Parkville, and three of her daughters - Vadi Griffin, 2 months; Lacie Burkman, 7; and Haley Burkman, 10 - died in the crash along with Jordan Griffin, 10, the daughter of Bethany Griffin's husband, Danny Griffin Jr., 36. Danny Griffin was injured in the accident, along with 8-year-old Sydney Griffin, who was released released from a hospital on Monday. The family said that she has steadily improved. Michael Gagnon, of Adrian, Mich., faces five counts of aggravated vehicular homicide in the Dec. 30 crash on I-280 in Toledo. Investigators said after the crash that Gagnon's blood-alcohol level was more than three times the legal limit when he drove the wrong way on Interstate 280 in Toledo and slammed his pickup truck into the family's minivan. Maureen Gloria, a neighbor of the Griffin's, described the memorial "as a beautiful, beautiful ceremony" that involved not only family but neighbors and classmates of the children. "They're really not leaving anybody out. You know there's so many between family, friends, and kids going through a lot," Gloria said. The family wanted to "make everybody feel welcome," said Gloria, who attended with her husband Paul. Many planned to wear blue, which was Bethany's favorite color, the church said on its Web site. Three funds have also been established to help the family by the church, Carney Elementary School, and the Maryland chapter of Mother's Against Drunk Driving. Kim Haney of Edgemere, whose sister was married to Bethany's brother, said the young mother's brothers and sisters gave long eulogies consisting of "mostly memories" about their childhood and "good times growing up." The memorial service also included some uninvited guests outside the service. Three members of the Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church, known for protests at military funerals, demonstrated about a block from St. Luke Evangelical Lutheran Church. The demonstrators said that the deaths are God's retribution against the community for a recent $11 million jury award against the Kansas group. A federal jury in Baltimore made the award in October to Albert Snyder, of York, Pa., who sued after the group protested his son's military funeral in Maryland. Demonstrator Fred Phelps said the community is going to "pay the price" for persecuting his group for preaching the word of God."

You know, this world is full of crazy people. These people being some of the most hateful and crazy. They are at least high on the list.

Even in law school, there are people that are just as crazy as these Westboro nuts but along the liberal lines. There is absolutely no differing opinions allowed here and that is a bad sign since it is a law school and seeing both sides of the coin is supposed to be our stock and trade.

It's so hard to find anyone that can be reasonable in general.

Everyone is so opinionated now that I pretty much hate everyone.

1/23/2008 11:31:39 AM

^^^ that is so sad. Why picket against a family that had nothing to do with them? because they are part of a community they have something against?

1/23/2008 11:41:46 AM

Supposedly Heath's body will be flown back to Australia. I really wish the funeral was held in NYC so mob justice would be visited on these psychos.

i'm usually a really peaceful person and would never advocate violence BUT someone really needs to kill these fuckers. seriously. they deserve to die a horrible horrible death and to rot in hell (if that even exists). and not just because of the heath ledger thing.

why? because they think that homosexuality is a bad thing? they aren't hurting anyone...in fact, you're the one touting violence

i don't know if you're an atheist or what, but this is what i find amusing: religions that have extreme prejudices are considered examples of why religions are awful and horrible, but atheists who hate them for their views are perfectly fine...that's just retarded

that said, i'm a fairly devout christian who's okay with homosexuality and i agree that those people are whackjobs...just try to refrain from the hypocrisy, okay? i know i try to

[Edited on January 23, 2008 at 12:07 PM. Reason : too many "okays"]

1/23/2008 12:06:51 PM

duh obviously i said i was advocating violence. and no, it isn't because of homosexuality (NOTE HOW I SAID IT WASN'T JUST BECAUSE OF THE HEATH LEDGER THING). they picket tons of peoples funerals; people who have nothing to do with homosexuality have had their funerals picketed because their deaths are apparently gods way of showing how sinful america is. blah blah blah. they don't just picket people directly involved with homosexuality.

they aren't hurting anyone? pretty sure they're hurting the parents/siblings/loved ones at the funerals they picket. but i mean, who knows right?

and clearly i stated in my post that i was being hypocritical. and on a side note, hypocrisy probably isn't something to bring up if you are going to open the doors for a discussion about religion.

and no, i'm not an athiest.

and on another side not, as with most things in chit chat, my post wasn't 100% serious. i just think they're horrible people. clearly i'm not going to hunt them down and murder them. and i don't just think they're horrible for thinking homosexuality is a sin. but that is irrelevant because you see, the funny thing about opinions is, i can think whatever i want to, since it is MY opinion.

1/23/2008 12:19:11 PM

I'm all for intolerance of hatred. I don't hate them for their view, but i don't believe that the concept of tolerance is absolute. I believe they have a right to have their view and express it. I don't believe that they have the right to impose it upon people. Going to a public park and preaching it is one thing, there are other parks in the world that I can go to to avoid it.

If my son is being buried and they post up near the church, I don't exactly have any other options for where i should go to have the funeral.

I've heard of military families around there actually announcing FALSE locations for the funeral to avoid having those people show up. When we've reached that point, we have to realize that those people are doing nothing but causing problems.

Rather than violence, i vote that someone gets a huge banner and just spreads it across in front of them to block their shit from view. Hell I would help hold it up.

plus saying "nothing else about Heath Ledger is relevant or consequential" and then picketing his funeral = fucking insane

Everything else they do would qualify as "fucking insane", though.
