plan to piss off the westboro baptist church:
- Hire large group of counter-protesters to follow around the Westboro Baptist Church.
- Equip them with white noise generators and enormous blank signs, so no one can read the WBC's signs or hear whatever crazy, hate-filled bullshit they're spewing.
- ?????
- PROFIT.

Agreed completely. I don't "subscribe" to any organized religion. I think it boxes you in and forces you to conform to rules that have nothing to do with the true meaning of faith and spirituality. Hating people because of their sexual preference, their race or their life choices is bullshit. I was absolutely appalled with that broad, Shirley Phelps-Roper, after she appeared on Fox News and Julie Banderas interviewed her about how the WBC was protesting funerals of fallen military men and women. That, as a military brat, shocks me the most. I know that there are closed-minded people in the world who judge others because they're gay or they're a certain race - and I don't agree with them at all - but I couldn't imagine people who would justify invading in the name of their doctrine and their beliefs while a family is grieving for a loved one, especially a loved one who died fighting for our country. Since then, I just despise them. How anyone could willingly believe and practice their ethics just disgusts me.
(BTW, I love your Vox. You are awesome.)
And those protests don't even make sense! Those soldiers weren't gay--not that it would be okay to protest if they were, but at least it would indicate some kind of linnear, logical thinking on the WBC's part. I'm absolutely convinced that Fred Phelps contracted syphilis as a young man, and it's gone untreated and eaten holes in his brain. I don't know what excuse his sheeple have, though.
I read yesterday that they're planning to protest the funerals of the little Amish girls that were shot. Completely disgusting.
That is some sick and twisted stuff right there.
I keep wanting to write about the Amish school shooting because every time I read an update on the whole situation, I'm touched by how the Amish community has banded together and has even extended care and support to the shooter's widow and children. It just makes me believe that there is some good in this world, that even through tragedy, there is still love and hope, as well as some kind of faith that doesn't appear to contradict itself. I could never be Amish, but I find myself inspired by them. After all, tragedies can bring out the worst in people, and despite this horrible thing that has happened to their community, they aren't suddenly "showing their true colors" - they're just as honest and as real as they were before this happened. To turn around and have Amish leaders set up a charity fund to help the shooter's widow and their children.. that takes an incredibly strong faith in God.
It's so disgusting to me that the WBC would protest the funerals of the Amish girls when - of all the people living in this country, the Amish are quite possibly the most moral - and the way the Amish have proven themselves to be strong and resolute, as well as forgiving and compassionate even to those that "trespass" against them.. the WBC should be taking a step back and saying, "Dude, isn't that what we as good Christians should be like?"
(Sorry I kinda hijacked your comments threat. Heehee.)
They should, but they never will because they're absolutely batshit insane.
And I just read that they didn't protest the funerals--but they were threatening to do so if they didn't get national airtime. They appeared on Hannity & Colmes and on some radio show. Way to give in to christofascists, dudes.
If I believed in god, I would be a Quaker. They're a lot like the Amish, except they get to use hairdryers.
I love that last line. "If I believed in god, I would be a Quaker. They're a lot like the Amish, except they get to use hairdryers." That should be on a t-shirt somewhere. :)
