james Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 They were nice enough to protest at the funeral of a friend I went to school with who lost to an IED in Iraq (RIP Clint ).It's just a way for people with no conscience to make money. Read the Fred Phelps Wikipedia page if your stomach can handle it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perrj99 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I agree with a lot of whats been posted, but what some of you fail to see is that, we don't think they should be executed by the government. They have a legal right to freedom of speech, but we would personally like to end their lives. Hell, I'd like to beat the fuck out of them with a spiked bat in front of their children. What could be more enjoyable? I hate when people have the audacity to protest at a soldier's funeral. It sickens me. I've seen stuff about these fucktards in the past and it still makes me want to murder them. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZenSilk Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 Boondock Saints?? Paging Boondock Saints??Fuck.. i guess i'll have to do it myself. I would have no hesitation ending their sad, pathetic, pointless lives if i had the chance. Freedom of Speech... Sure they can have it.. But i can take it away. I have a sewing needle and some thread that'll be right for the trick. The Death Penalty wouldnt be enough to hold me back. (these are my terminator glasses).

Texico Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I like the one poster on the last video who stated that "If they were true Christians they would have stayed there and let God protect them." This way, if they die it would be the will of God, and all would be right in the world. I feel sorry for the officers who were required by law to escort them out.

garykainz Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 it's fucking trash like that who give christians a bad name. I'm a christian. I don't believe that homosexuality is right. But i'm not going to sit there with signs that are offensive and horrible. Picketing does 100% harm and 0% good. I may not agree with it, but the bible says "love your neighbor" not, if you don't like what they're doing, do all the harm you can to them". I'm not going to sit there and tell anyone, by picketing, or face to face, that they're going to hell. when jesus was on earth, he sought out the worst of the worst. whores and tax collectors, adulterers, people living in sin. he didn't walk around saying, "if you sin, you're going to hell". no one is going to come to him because someone calls them a fag and that they're going to hell. "oh, well, you just told me i'm shit and that i'm going to burn, let me hear what you have to say" doesn't go thru people's heads. jesus was about love. these people are all about hate. they will be held accountable when their time comes and they will be horrified by their own actions when they see it in through the eyes of jesus.

TheScotsman Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 QUOTE (Johnny_D @ Jan 24 2008, 01:59 AM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>Hmm.Is being Gay so right? Is social acceptance of being gay ok? I have a hard enough time raising children through puberty without having to try and explain how homosexuality as well.However what people do behind closed doors is there own business. I, personally, don't like how it's openly promoted as being ok. I don't spend my entire time thrusting my tongue down my wife's throat in public, why do gay people feel the need todo the same?!Also - I want a hetrosexual parade.Now - The people you mention above are quite frankly nasty and need a bit of 2x4 upside the head. Or a cricket bat wil l do quite nicely.JDWhen is the parade? Count me in. The first intelligent post in the whole topic comes from JD!As for the fellows a bit light in the loafers, I highly recommend a vacation in Riyadh, Maybe go pick up a few guys in the town square! Protesting funerals is the bottom of the barrel. For a while we had a group here doing the same, some biker group started following them, making their lives miserable.

[Elmo] Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 I dunno about other states but Indiana made a law that you can't protest within 200 yards of any funeral. It's a disgrace that they do this to the serving men and women of our country. You think they could find a different way to go on about protesting gays than at funerals?

That means i can say having the name "Gary" is wrong and you are sinning and going to hell unless you beg to your God for mercy. Get on your knees for Jesus.

dude3516 Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Ya know the absolute worst part of this is that they are wrapping tiny nuggets of truth into their message, and turning people away from something that may might have had a better impact in their life, had they not had to deal with ppl like this. I'm fairly sure Christ was about a little something called "compassion" and "mercy" as well, something these people have none of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny_D Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Someone earlier mentioned the idea of being born 'gay'I have yet to see convicing documentation of this idea. I suspect in fact that it's quite plausable that enviroment plays just an equal part as genetics.However we do see evidence in nature of same-sex coupling Blue whales, Harbour seals are two that spring to mind.We should be tolerant of other people's lifestyle choices - We do not have to like it or agree with it. But tolerance is just good manners. But that also requires 'both sides' of the fence to engage in tolerant activity.Gay pride parades do not help.This baptist church do not help.

They are, in my eyes, as bad as each other. JDThe gay pride parades are just like the civil rights demonstrations for African-Americans. They're born out of oppression that should never be in place to begin with. The gay community just has a tad more flamboyant way of demonstrating. Until gays are given equal rights, they have every reason to gather for awareness. It doesn't stop with their wanting recognization of marriage, they're also denied jobs and judged for their alternative lifestyle. I feel their pain (oof, that sounds bad) because I'm not Christian in an area where Christianity is the law of the land. This town is basically a transplant off the Bible Belt, I kid you not. With a pop. of around 50k in 14 Square Miles, there's reportedly over a thousand different Christian churches. I did a google business search and found 1,942. Talk about a minority. I sport a mohawk, harley boots, and chains, and get stared at like I'm missing a head. Not only that, I definitely lose job opportunities.I don't have to dress like that, but I feel it keeps me from getting sucked in. The Pride parades are basically the same natural response to an overwhelming feeling of being forced to assimilate. Sucks. Can't we all just get along?

JDHere at IUP, the psychology department teaches evidence for and against being born gay...nature vs nurture.I personally believe it is possible.My one friend is straight but I think is wearing a beard. He was adopted and recently met his blood family. He has four gay brothers(one is a porn star).

Johnny_D Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 Interesting story. I have my doubts however of how genuine it is.One question springs to mind is "Why does one kid out of five end up ostracised from birth" ?Anyways, that aside, it's one story. Not scientific fact. I stand by my position that people should be allowed todo what they like and should not be judged within the public realm [Jobs, pay, justice, whatever] , but I do not wish it thrust down mine, or my daughters, throats in public.JD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
