Westboro Baptist Church at it again.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,217760,00.html

"Those Amish people, everyone is sitting around talking about those poor little girls — blah, blah, blah — they brought the wrath upon themselves," Phelps-Roper said, adding that the Amish "don't serve God, they serve themselves."

Who the hell says that kind of stuff?
Seriously. I can't even fathom what this is all about. I mean, the funerals of soldiers are one thing, but little Amish girls?
It's things like these that make me wonder what's keeping that whole Apocalypse thing so long.

Good to know that God sends suicidal milkmen to do his bidding.

Ok, now I know they aren't serious. They're like forum trolls. But funerals instead of forums.

Wasn't that guy a child molester? If I were them, I'd keep quiet on this one.

Theres a talk radio show in South Florida called 'The Love Doctors' (yeah, it's a really shitty name). The host called Phelps for an interview and acted all supportive for about 7-8 minutes then slowly started slipping in things about how much he liked lesbians, "but only in pornography". At about the 15 minute mark The Rev. hangs up on him after telling him "Shame on you". I should point out the host of the love doc's is about 60. It was rather entertaining.

The whole of Phelps' congregation is made up of his extended family. It's not really a real church even. But this is what happens when you let christians run around like fucking crazy people and no one calls them on it. We also get people like the Amish. Seriously.

Nothing wrong with the Amish, they've been Amish forever. They do the one thing that all religions should do, and that's keep it to themselves in their own community. Though I don't share any of their beliefs, they aren't hurting anyone and they aren't telling me how I should live my life. I can respect that.

Sad thing is you have to be a crazy ass nutjob religious freak to say something like that about another crazy ass nutjob religious freak.

It was a terrible thing what happened to those girls and this guy takes the moment to say 'god is on my side' basically.

What a terrible human being.

It's funny because something happened that made you feel the need to stick up for those sinful sodomites the Amish.

Bullshit, evangelism is a major part of Western religions. Not to say it's done properly or correctly or has been done properly or correctly but saying religion is about "keeping to yourself in your own community" betrays the core teachings of the religion.

I'll thank you all not to associate this trash with the true lovers and faithful of Christ Jesus.

No one who is truly posessed of the Holy Ghost would behave this way.

I don't know what god these morons serve, but it isn't Christ.

He didn't religion is about keeping to yourself, he said they should be. Also, many, many branches of Christianity are not evangelical. Nor is Judiasm. So it's not exactly ridiculous to endorse that stance.

They would say the exact same thing about you. Hence the real problem with religion. Everyone thinks their right, and everyone just knows it intuitively.

True enough, but the trouble here is the actions of these individuals are a DIRECT contradiction of the two highest commandments in the book they claim to believe in.

I am by no means perfect, but at the very least I love my neighbor as myself.

Wrong. Otherwise he wouldn't have said 'Two Highest'. Also, I fail to see where their actions are violating ANY commandment. About the only thing they are doing is being completely tactless and nutso.

Maybe he considers number 9 higher on the list of importance then number 2 or something similar.

the two greatest commandments are "love god" and "love your neighbor as yourself". thats what hes referrign to, the original 10 are important but those 2 were the what jesus said were the 2 greatest commandments were. id look up the verses but im running late as it is, ill let 7 spot me on thsi one.

All i gotta say is that in the paper today, they talked about hwo the amish families involved not only forgave the killer, but offered their help for his family, whom they said would be having a difficult time dealing with it. id say contrasting them with these yutzes here draws a retty helpful distinction between those christians who understand the true spirit of jesus' teachings and those who have warped them beyond recognition.

EDIT: matthew 22:34-40 mo7 is too slow. and im really late starting supper.

Nope. If we all learn to start ignoring these people, they will inevitably will:

A) have to ratchet themselves up to a level where they do something criminal and they can be arrested and charged.

B) fade into oblivion

C) pull a Jim Jones.

If Mo7's is Catholic, then his 2 first commandments are, parenthetically,

1.You shall have no other gods before me/You shall not make for yourself an idol
(which by Jewish and Protestant churches are two different commandments, 1 and 2 respectively, and by the Catholic/Lutheran Churches are both 1)
2. You shall not make wrongful use of the name of the Lord your God.
(which by Jewish and Protestant churches is commandment 3, and by Catholic/Lutheran churches is number 2)

Clearly this dope is violating number 2 (catholic/lutheran). I could certainly see 2 as being one of the highest commandments, although I don't know, as it encompasses the use of God as a justification to violate other commandments.
05 Oct 2006, 11:06 PM

clown, reread my post the "two commandments" are based on a response from jesus to pharasees that were trying to get him to say something that woudl either make him unpopular witht he people, or would be blasphemy, he responded that there were 2 great commandments, to love god with all your heart, and to love one another as you love yourself. these 2 commandments encompass the spirit of all 10 of the commandments given to moses. the first 3 commandments encompass loving god, the last 7 encompas loving your neighbor. in the case of these schmucks, they violate the first commandment by misrepresenting jesus as a hateful and violent diety(something that has been done far too many times thruought the ages.) and he violates the second great commandment by being quite far from loving to the people who's funeral he is crashing. so thats what master is saying. the bible verse we are referencing matthew chapter 22 verses 34-40, if you dont ahve a bible handy, google it.
