Westboro Baptist Church: There is no Christ in their Christianity, Only Hatred
According to the Good as You blog Barney Frank, one of the three US congressmembers to vote against the "Respect for American Hereos" act (which passed through the House with a vote 408-3), would bar Westboro Baptist Church from protesting at solider's funerals, has been called a "fat faggot" by WBC as a way to say "thanks" to Rep. Franks. While this comes as no shock to me, it was in extremely bad taste of them.
Shirley Phelps Roper, who recently appeared on FOX NEWS's Hannity & Colmes was talking about WBC's "message" to America. I believe in free speech, but this is just down right wrong, and hateful. If you can piss off FOX NEWS, than mostly everybody loathes you. Here is the video of this appearance on FOX.
Westboro Baptist Church is infamous for protesting Matthew Shephard's Funeral, (they have been protesting various events as well for years) because they believe that LGBT people are the root of all the problems America is facing, including the "war" in Iraq and they believe every dead solider is a sign of God's wrath. At these protests they held up signs that say "Thank God for Dead Soliders", "Thank God for 9/11", "Thank God for IEDS", and a slew of other anti-gay slogans and phrases, and imagery that is extremely hateful and distasteful on these posters.
I disagree with the vote made by Congressmen Frank, but he doesn't deserve that. He is protecting their right to spread their hatred and instill pain in the hearts of those families who have lost their loved ones. Phelps and his church should thank him properly for protecting their right to do this, but you can't expect these people to be decent, not even an ounce of them is full of God's love. There is no Christ in their Christianity, only hatred.
