And lo the comic book fans did smite the nutty Christians with an original Superman No1, and the Lord saw that it was good, and did wink an exceedingly big wink and an orange light did shine all around. From the book of Belicia vs. 1 - 3.

From the awesomeness that is Voltaire:


God thinks all blacks are obsolete farm equipment
God thinks the Jews killed his son and must be punished
God thinks the white man is Satan
God, they know what God thinks

God thinks we should all convert to Judaism
God thinks we must all be Christians and
God thinks we should all embrace Islam
God thinks the only true religion is Hinduism

And I
I know what God thinks
God thinks you're a waste of flesh
God prefers an Atheist

God God
God thinks all people like you are hateful
God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation
self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw a stone
and using His name for your own protection

God thinks the sun revolves around the Earth
God thinks there was something very wrong with Copernicus
God thinks abortion is murder and
God thinks everything that science gave us is wrong
God thinks women deserve it
God thinks AIDS is a form of punishment

I hate people who blame the Devil for their own shortcomings and
I hate people who thank God when things go right

And I
I know what God thinks
God thinks you're an idiot
God prefers a heretic

God God
God thinks all people like you are hateful
God thinks all people like you are an embarrassment to creation
self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw the stone
and using His name for your own agenda

God is a liberal
God is a democrat
God wants you to vote republican
never trust a man who puts his words in the mouth of god
and says it's absolute truth
its lies and it smells like death
its all in a day's work taking money from the poor
Why do you think that God would need your dirty money
if He wants to start a holy war?

self-righteous, judgmental, first to throw a stone
and using His name for your own protection

God thinks puppies need to die and
God thinks babies need to drown
'cause God is neither good nor bad
God is you and me
God is Everything

But anyway, back on target. Yes, we have wackos in this country. I grew up in a town where you weren't geeky/nerdy for playing D&D, you were a satanist and a criminal.

My real fear about these protest-happy wackos is that someone FUNDS them. They're not really independently wealthy but they get to travel all around to protest whatever they want to. WTF?

Normally I'd agree with you, but the irony of finding a real Bible quote that taken out of context goes against anything these wackos say is just awesome.
(note: not saying Twilight itself is awesome. Just noting it is better than these guys. Please also note that spending 10 seconds in a total vacuum is better than these guys, as are anal probes and root canals)

They used to make a load of money by sending their kids out to sell chocalate in pubs at nighttime, Pastor Fred Phelps was also a fairly successful lawyer in his time- specialising in racial equality cases.

If you're interested one of his sons is now an atheist and has a website about his family- its sounds like they have had a terrible upbringing. I think the son's name was nate phelps.

Based off of the movies (which The Spoony One actually recommended for comedic purposes-- the second one was hilarious if viewed ironically), I'd say Bella's standards are "attractive men I can manipulate through lust".

This. The New Testament is about love and forgiveness, not hate. These people are just plain wrong.

These wackos are not christian. They may say they are, but their actions speak volumes to the contrary. I get they are trolling for attention...it's what they do to get attention to their cause*. But I seriously doubt they are getting the right kind of attention.



*In reality their cause is "to get someone, anyone to 'physically assault' them so they can sue the piss out of them."

check out the legal section (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Westboro_Baptist_Church)

The guy was a lawyer before. I'm pretty sure it's just a money grab ploy. who knows how many other cases they are in that don't get reported.
This guy is a class act. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Phelps)
He reduced a court reporter to tears on the stand because she messed up during one of his cases. check out his disbarment section.

So if it ain't king james, it ain't the bible, but the KJB was translated from the latin bible, which ISN"T the king james, thus ain't the bible, and even that was from the greek, which then ain't th bible either since it's not king james (Old from Hebrew)... so the KJB is a translation of a book that isn't the bible according to those people, so the KJB isn't the bible either... hmmm.... thus you make them explode because they build their own logic paradox.

It's good logic, but it breaks down when they try to tell you that Jesus wrote the Bible in modern American English and all other languages are not the holy tongue. (yes, I HAVE met people like this)

Well, as insane as this church is (and I know their history very well), I theorize that once Mr. Phelps passes away (he is pretty old, you know), the church will most likely disband. It may not be immediate, but he seems to be the glue that holds it together. So without him, it'll slowly crumble away.

Comic-Con? Seriously? Are they getting desperate, or what?

These people are just in it for the publicity. The best way for Comic-Con to handle them is to ignore them. Hard to do, I know, but it works. They picketed several soldiers funerals here in Iowa, and received no (as in zero) media coverage, either print or broadcast. The Patriot Guard Riders would get prominent coverage, but Fred Phelps and his wackjobs, nada. The last time they even got mentioned here, they were reduced to dragging the flag in the dirt outside a Baptist church. And even then, the article was about the response of the church, not the protesters. (They sent out food and drink, so the protesters wouldn't be hungry or thirsty in the hot sun. To paraphrase Jesus, be nice to your enemies and you'll drive them crazy.:))

Also, if it's like the funerals I attended, the 'church' will send two minivans full of people, and they will protest for an hour or two, then go home.

I am an Agnostic, but I think if there were a God, it would be God who does the judging, not us, and definetely not these douche nozzles. I also think that God would not give a rats backside about colour, creed or sexuality, and simply know who is and isn't worthy.
I'm guessing these hate mongering WBC wackos are not.

When you say SM lovers could you elaborate a bit, I may be on shaky ground theologically speaking here...

Anyway, I put Jedi on official forms to annoy as many people as possible. The last time I had to book in at A&E the receptionist asked me what religion I was so I said Jedi. She told me that wasn't on the list so I waved my hand and told her that she would find it was :D

What I hate about all flavours of fundamentalists be they christian muslim or jew is that their self proclaimed 'goodness', which never has to be defended as 'it is written', is a facade for self-important smugness. These people who make such judgements; who can't wait to see 'sinners' burn whilst their insane god whisks them away to paradise: these people do not understand charity or forgiveness or redemption. Cast not the first stone? Turn the other cheek? Blessed are the meek? Blessed is the peacemaker (or is it cheesemaker, I forget)... I'm not even christian but I understand the religion a hell of a lot better than these buffoons.
