The irony is, if there actually is a god, these people are probably royally screwed.

WBC puts the 'mental' in fundamentalist Christianity.

BTW. I think that in light of the shooting incident, America could go for a fresh dish of Black Eyed Peas:

So what happened? Did the cult people picket the funeral?

Last I heard, and I think there is another thread here, is that they decided not to picket.

Westboro's theology, and practices are extremely hateful yet they are still beloved children of God. God's light within them has grown dim and their hearts closed off. I hope and pray that God cleanses them of hate and injustice. That they would be awakened to God's extravagant love and grace and the scandalous inclusion and ethic of Jesus. Lord, in your mercy hear our prayer.

Or to put it in a more secular or perhaps Buddhist way, I feel compassion for the WBC family, because they are only making themselves miserable dwelling in hate when they could be having a good time with the rest of us giving, receiving and accepting love.

Irony makes the world fun, doesn't it? Hence my change in title to "Ironic Idealist".

That is quite an immature statement that is simply lashing at religion.
a more accurate statement would be that there are moronic people in all areas on society, religious and non-religious. But both yours and my statement are nothing to do with this topic.

What I am trying to point out is that when people have ANY type on dire belief in which they feel is appropriate and correct, they tend to (at times) take them into extreme and infringe on other people's freedoms. If this is an immature view, then I guess psychology is immature as well.

 

[horizon_mj1]

The statement I made fully has everything to do with the topic as well. Why would anyone with a sound state of mind find it appropriate to disturbe a child's funeral? There are much better and more constructive ways to make yourself beliefs heard.

What do you think of my proposal, Abibi? Are you in the neighborhood?

Yes, I live in Tucson. I'm not sure what your proposal was sorry.

Looks like the crisis was averted. My idea was that a few thousand Christians, atheists, Muslims, agnostics, Jews, Satanists and pagans stand silently and respectfully along the entire route, making it impossible for WBC to intrude in any way on the proceedings.
