When Madness Masquerades As Religion

Not Islamists this time, but creatures who claim to be Christians.

From Agence France Presse:

Hecklers harass families of US soldiers killed in Iraq

Five women sang and danced as they held up signs saying "thank God for dead soldiers" at the funeral of an army sergeant who was killed by an Iraqi bomb.

For them, it was the perfect way to spread God's word: America was being punished for tolerating homosexuality.

This is nothing but a game to gain publicity for the so-called "Westboro Baptist Church", which is really a cult run by Fred Phelps and his family. Maybe they'll eventually take the route of the Jim Jones cult. One can only hope.

The good news...while the Westboro Baptist cult has about 100 members, the bikers of The Patriot Guard Riders are now 16,000 strong.

1 Whats the difference between a cult and a religion? I suppose its that a cult pisses you off. Anyway, gogo atheism etc. One question, though - isn't a funeral held on private property? Why wern't these people asked to leave and then arrested for trespassing?

2 Even more insidious than a Cult, most of the WBC family are Lawyers (Fred is disbarred). Now I wonder, how could they get themselves assaulted in order to sue a municipality.

3 If you think that's a stretch: Fred Phelps sues City for seven million Dollars

4 >>>The good news...the Westboro Baptist cult [only] has about 100 members and for good reason.

5 This exceeds the decent bounds of free speech by any measure; they all need their heads busted and left lying on the side of the road. And I hope they sue me over this comment, because then, I'll know where to find them.

6 For once I agree with you Max. That's scary. .

7 Cue Twilight Zone music.

8 >>>For once I agree with you Max. That's scary. Notice it takes the word "christian" to get a Leftwing moonbat to agree with Maxie wanting to bust heads. Replace that with "muslim" and the same moonbat goes all pacifist on us. My god you people are so easy to figure out.

10 Nice try "Warrior for Christ", "USA Patriot" you're easier to spot that a Cheetah.

Posted by: davec at March 12, 2006 02:27 PM (CcXvt)

11 Again shut the fuck up. I was telling Max that I agree that we shouldn't insult our soldiers that are dying out there. We should be honoring them My father was in them military for many years. He almost went to Vietnam. Stop calling me a liberal you stupid ass motherfucker.

12 There is no warrior for christ in this blog. Perhaps I should speak english. I'm a catholic. My Dad was a Marine for many years so I sympathise with you. All I've been saying was that not all muslims want to kill people. I knew several arabs personally when I was in school. My doctor is an Indian. I'm not looking for any trouble. I didn't call Bush Hitler like that teacher. I'm not like those stupid CPT hostages that want to hug the terrorists. Jesus Christ, I can't say anything on this blog without being called a far left moonbat.

13 Robert: My post was to "Marine Father" who's post is exactly on the same level as the posts made to this site by "Warrior for Christ" and "USA Patriot" (nicknames) I was not referencing your post.

14 Oh, well I wasn't cursing at you Davec. I was cursing at the asshole Jesusland carlos who keeps calling me a moonbat. I have to stop posting on political blogs. I end up being called a moonbat. I also get told to fuck off. Maximus might also want to rape my corpse like he told the last kid who posted here. My dear mom might be called a whore. What a life I live. At least Rusty is cool. That's why I visit this blog.

15 Robert: are you sure he wasn't calling Jill Carroll a moonbat? I did not get the feeling he addressed you as a moonbat. perhaps I am mistaken.

Posted by: davec at March 12, 2006 03:07 PM (CcXvt)

16 Robert, you should live up to your name and verbally "savage" him.

Posted by: Don Miguel at March 12, 2006 03:10 PM (UAn5X)

17 Yeah, you are. He called me a moonbat because I agreed with Maximus. In any case anyone who calls Jill Carroll a moonbat is a retard who should be shot on site. She's going through enough right now. Insulting her political views is not the right thing to do.

Posted by: Robert Savage at March 12, 2006 03:13 PM (CnDtU)

18 Also disagreeing with Maxie is a death sentence. I avoid him at all costs.

Posted by: Robert Savage at March 12, 2006 03:14 PM (CnDtU)

19 This isn't even my real name. I just thought it up.

Posted by: Robert Savage at March 12, 2006 03:17 PM (CnDtU)

20 Yeah if you go through many aliases. No one knows who you are.

Posted by: Max Power at March 12, 2006 03:19 PM (CnDtU)

21 Oh no, you can disagree with me all you like, but you'd better have a good argument armed and ready.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at March 12, 2006 03:58 PM (0yYS2)

22 Robert, don't worry about it. Continue to comment and say what you truly believe. I would rather know someone who is honest and who I might disagree with occasionally than know someone who is a fake and agrees with me all the time. And I think most people on this blog feel the same way.

23 >>>Jesus Christ, I can't say anything on this blog without being called a far left moonbat. hahaha! That was too funny!

Posted by: Jesusland Carlos at March 12, 2006 04:07 PM (8e/V4)

24 I think WFC may have been one of them. We've done several posts on these giant walking rectums now. Speaking of Fred's bunch of course.

25 These jerks need to have someone spray them with skunk oil and limburger cheese and garlic and onion this would realy make them show up in a crown especialy the smell they would leave

26 As a Christian, I repudiate Westboro's actions. Like Wafa said, "You can worship stones as long as you don't throw them at me."

Posted by: RepJ at March 12, 2006 08:31 PM (oHw0S)

27 Yes, all Phelps' gang are lawyers who are itching for someone to assault them so they can sue... SO, (not that I'm advocating anything, you understand), If someone WERE to do something to these idiots, I'd suggest a quick-maximum-damage-hit-and-egress so they won't have anyone to litigate against. If cops ask for witnesses, just have some planted buddies in the crowd describe Andrew Sullivan.

28 SOTG, that's a pretty good strategy. Why don't *I* ever get the good ideas?

Posted by: Oyster at March 13, 2006 06:34 AM (YudAC)

29 These people are repulsive

Posted by: sandpiper at March 13, 2006 09:28 AM (7/75z)

30 SonOf: They would just sue the city they're hosted in, for failing to protect them during the protest. They don't want to sue the individual that assaults them, they're chickenfeed -- they want to be assaulted to sue the deep pockets: cities, police forces, etc.

Posted by: davec at March 13, 2006 12:06 PM (CcXvt)

31 Do these idiots have those PRACTICE TOLERENCE stickers in the car windows? or those stupid ones which reads WAR IS NOT HEALTHY FOR CHILDREN AND OTHER LIVING THINGS with the sissy pink flower on it?
