WTF - I thought for sure that was some kind of parody site :|

How have they survived this long? I mean - picketing soldiers funerals?? There tend to be alot of other soldiers there. Sounds like a good way to get your ass kicked. And miners aren't any slouches either. Hate to say it, but I wouldn't mind to terribly if a riot broke out and all the victims happened to be from Topeka. I can see the quotes now...

"The police were powerless to stop the violence as they sought refuge in the local Dunkin Donuts." :p

Stalin,Hitler, Mao, Pol Pot killed more people than any religious nutjob in the history of man. That's one way to kill religion, you need to suppress and kill a lot of folks.

Second, religion causes hate. To stop hate you need to end religion.

How, exactly, do you propose to do that?

These are changes to our law that I believe should be made.

First it should be illegal to teach children religion, or expose them to it.
Schools should teach that beliefs in god and such is false.
Religious gathering centers should be illegal.
Distribution of religious materials should be forbidden.
People who won't follow these rules should be arrested.
If needed force should be used to enforce these rules.

Do not get these people confused with Christians. These guys are not Christians. They just call themselves Christians. We were using them as an example of what Christians should not be like in my sunday school class.

Its aweful that some people can do such a thing.

Because the say so. Just like you or whoever calls themselves a Christian. And regarding their "christianness", who are *you* to decide? In fact, who is *anyone* to decide, right?
Yet you believe they are wrong and they think you are wrong.

See the problem? See why fighting occurs? See why I question what the point and validity of the doctrine that gives rise to this nonsense?


By that logic, I'm the richest man on Earth. Because I say so.

I'm with DigDug on this one. Just because their interpretation is different than yours ("you" being anyone arguing that this group is not christian) does not invalidate their claim to the religion. It's actually quite self-centered to feel that way. Just like you, they help to make up the whole that is christianity. Try to look at it from an outsider's perspective, and you may begin to understand why many feel the way we do about the religion, and religion in general. If you still insist they're just a splinter faction which is nothing like the christian norm, keep in mind the christian norm voted not once, but twice, for the slaughter in Iraq.

Step 1: Make these people bite the curb

Step 2: Stomp on back of neck

Step 3: Repeat Step 2 as needed.

And I'm totally fvcking serious. Religion is fine, but this takes it about a thousand steps too fvcking far.

In my home, if I saw people picketing a person's FUNERAL, I would not hesitate to grab their damn signs, and bust them over their god-fearing heads. I would go to jail, but I would have a clean concience. And no, I'm not gay, I just believe in freedom of sexual orientation for every person.

Meh - why bother with this guy? He's obviously either a troll or as psycho as the nutjobs in the OP. Either way, I can't see it being worth a reply.

Oddly enough, your view point and the changes it will bring to this world were predicted 2,000 years ago in the New Testament.

The release states, ?God is laughing, mocking and deriding hypocritical i love you-infested West Virginia.?
The release also says the WBC will picket the funerals of the miners.
I think they have West Virginia mixed up with California.

A troll? Possibly.

He could be just very naive and young (when things are oh so simple). I do think people should be aware of his line of thinking and the danger it represents.

Idaho is a very tolerance place, actually. I've seen more mixed marriages here than most places, between Latinos and white, and black and white. Most of the black college students here date or married to the white or the Asian students. Blacks were welcome to the universities here while they were being booed and and thrown rocks at in Alabama in the the 50s and 60s.
