I was really heartened to read this story. Westboro "Baptist Church" is a repulsive organization.

And yet, in a weird way, it makes me so grateful for the right to free speech. I'd much rather have a nutcase like Phelps right out in the open where we can all see him and denounce his words and actions, rather than operating underground.

i agree, he protested a marines death in rural southern illinois and they had to have an army of state police there to protect them...

Peace to All creatures great and small............................................

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

His "church" is the same organization made famous (ick) by protesting at Matthew Shepard's funeral (the gay college student abducted, beaten, and left for dead in Wyoming).

:( So sad about Matthew Shepard.... and so sad that there are people like this, but I agree with you Pax, it's the silent or underground nutters who are even scarier.

This is insanity :blink:

Paul and I met on the Bazaar on the 14th January (he joined my progressive rock forum that day)

July 3rd he flew to England to meet me

We fell in love while he drove all over the place coz I cannot read maps (we were supposed to go to Ingleton - but touched Darlington 4 times, Pierce Bridge 6 times, Scotch Corner twice and Bernard Castle twice and we never did make it to Ingleton)

It has been so long and so much has happened in between...

Arrived in Houston on October 29th 2006

Married 17th November 2006

Lost my father 8th January 2007 (all dates are a blur after this)

Conditional Green Card dated 24th October 2007

:o Its a sad, sad world when people think God would shun someone because of their sexuality, but be ok with other people torturing and killing that person. I'll spare you all and not get on my soapbox, but I will say, I am Christian and these people disgust me. Its extremists like this in every country that give the rest a bad name. :angry:

I agree Kassie. I am Christian also... and I don't understand how people can be so hateful and say that it is for God. :(

My mom was Cherokee Indian... and she taught us that we should respect God's place... planet earth, and it's inhabitants... and that we should also respect other people's thoughts and ideas, and religions... even when they don't agree with us... The most beautiful thing is that God gives us a choice... or so my Mom used to say. My mom always said to "keep it simple." I don't want to get on a soapbox either... my relationship with God is personal... but what I don't fathom is how other's use God to further their own cause. *sigh*

*hugs you all*

Blessings,

Lynne
