Sorry MysticCat, i shouldn't have put it that way. I suppose those two things don't have much to do with each other (whether i'm religious or not) and I guess I should preface by saying that some people in my family were religious zealots and I was exposed to beliefs that were just bizarre... so I find myself retreating or rejecting religion because of prior experience, when I know that this isn't always the case and I've learning to embrace some things over time.


Either way, its awful that they would be using a funeral to picket for a cause... that doesn't really make much sense in the first place. Those poor families and shame on them!

No problem. I didn't really take it as a slam or anything -- I was just offering the parallel viewpoint, so to speak.

Thanks for the clarification -- much different situation than what I, at least, assumed. (And yes, I know what it makes of me when I "assume." )

Angry

This church was way out of line and what they did showed the utmost disrespect. Everyone has a right to agree or disagree with the war, Iraq, etc., but please show respect to those who have gone over there to preserve our freedom and way of life.

I'm just curious as to who they think will protect the U.S if we don't?!?!?!

I pray that church sees what they are doing is wrong and stop spewing propaganda to impressionable youth.

They don't want the US protected. They want the US punished, and they think that dead soldiers, diseases, hurricanes, wildfires, etc., are all divine punishment.

The Phelps church if one can call it that was vandalized!

It was painted with "God Hates Phelps" in combat to his tirads about how God hates this and that!

We can only hope more law suits will be filled and he and his is put out of business.

Hmmm . . .so torn . . . vandalism is wrong.
But in this case, it is so karmaically(?!) perfect . . .
