Isaiah 6:10-13
The Lord said to me "Make the minds of these people dull, their ears deaf, and their eyes blind, so that they cannot see or hear or understand. If they did, they might turn to me and be healed." Then I said, "How long O Lord?" And He answered "Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant ... "

They may never get to actually choose their own spiritual path. They've been totally brainwashed by this twisted 2 dimensional version of Christianity.

I wrote something up about the church as well and threw up a couple videos of them and a picture of a toddler holding a sign that says "you will eat you babies"
Ridiculous.......

I think I need to make a sign that says God Hates Sign-Waving Cultist Nutsacks.

And then there's the matter of the hot bigot. Who is he (Loveschild?)? Clearly not a family member. Somebody must follow him. There's a clue hidden in the folds of his participation.

If you're not entertained by their "Fags eat poop" sign, you need therapy.

And Violet, definitely don't murder any of them, they make conservatives uncomfortable. They are Jesusland's chickens roosting in the heart of flyover country.

"It's not about us or them. It's about the person who tries to go to the synagogue or gay friendly organization and hears an unchallenged message that makes them wonder who among their neighbors agrees with this. The point is to show that their views are not that of a silent majority of Seattlites but instead are an invading minority."

do you really believe that in seattle anyone thinks that these hate-filled, bigoted assholes represent any kind significant population? if this were someplace in georgia or alabama i might agree with you. even ultra-conservative right wingers would agree that seattle is one of the most gay friendly, tolerant cities in the country. it's one of the reasons wbc are here this weekend.

spend 45 minutes counter-protesting if you want but it's still my opinion that you're doing more to add credence to wbc's efforts than anything else. bullies only do what they do to get attention, to provoke and to get a rise out of you. and it turns out they succeeded.

Good point.

What a bunch of jerk-offs.

Kim nailed it. A Westboro blogger explains it here:

and instead of trying to figure them out or retort with lame grade school insults, why not just ignore them? like most trolls they are doing what they do to get a rise out of a community. you'll never change their minds and even the briefest acknowledgement of what they're doing only fuels their purpose. if you ignore them they will eventually go away.

It's my take that the "bitch burger" is somewhat of a prophesy of our future they believe. We (the US) are, the disobedient adulterous nation of Isreal and Samaria in Deut. 26 and 2 King 6, and we will be besieged for our sins (legalized abortion, fag enabling, gay, stem cell research, etc.,) and so great will be our poverty, famine, and morals that we will eat our own. I don't know if they think the siege will be done by another nation or at the end times. That's my $0.02 on it.

Where do these people go to eat? I'd be curious what they're like in a non-sign-holding context.

Their pictures site is so odd: they're all holding these hateful signs, but smiling so pleasantly for the camera. You'd expect more consistency. I guess they just must get a kick out of their little act.
