I hope these people die…
This is stupid negative 100 votes plz
Win
do u just hand those out randomly, or is there some sort of criteria involved?
welcome to kansas. we get to live with Mr. Phelps. and we all want him dead.
Yes the hateful Reverend phelps and all his followers. What people dont realize is this is most likely at a soldier’s funeral. The sooner he goes the better but his kids all follow this too.
Actually one of his sons is estranged because he went against the preaching and is atheist, hell there are alot of ‘estranged’ phelps relatives….goes to show you that this type of preaching is stupid
Yuhpp. Orange Soda is yuummmmehh.
Agreed. He makes it occasionally painful to admit I’m from Kansas. A few bad apples can ruin the whole state, or at least embarrass it.
Just ask Alaska for the full Sarah Palin experience to confirm this.
Negative 100 votes? For mocking a bunch of brainwashed, sociopathic morons?
Me too. Idiots.
Well, they will. Eventually.
Logic has no place on the internet.
2 rite!! well done gd sir.
now for phase 2: kill all extremists. wait what?!?
Most people (all people) hope that they die, but sadly they’re protected by a thing called “freedom of speech”. At least they’re not actively killing homosexuals, bombing gay bars etc.
Yet. I fear these subhuman idiots might end up spawning a few people who might do just that.
Time out- who are you to judge? What makes you any better than these people by calling them subhuman? Really you are acting in the same manner as them!
Please tell me you’re not defending WBC.
He’s right to a degree Rando. The WBC may be reprehensible on a whole new level, but dehumanizing them only breeds hate. Attempting to fight hate with hate, while somewhat satisfying on the surface, only perpetuates hatred on both sides.
If you really wish to bring down the WBC, you have to do it by making sure no sane individual could possibly confuse them with Christian. You do this by living your faith. Love thine enemy Rando, acknowledge that they are human, and as such treat them with the respect that affords them, even while denouncing their actions.
Their hate will consume them in time. Sun Tsu said, “If you sit by the river long enough, you will see the body of your enemy float by.”
Nice practical sensible polite CANADIANS!!! I just want to shoot them! [muttering] Destroying all our great plans with his logic ‘n facts ‘n stuff. Hmph! [/muttering]
We love you Mabs
*Offers maple bearclaw*
Oooo…pastries! *nom nom nom* Canadians have good pastries.
No Mabs! You’re falling right into their Canadian hands!
*Brings out box of chocolate Tim Bits (Doughnut holes) and a bottle of Crème de Cacao*
Come to the dark side DU… We have chocolate and alcohol.
No! I will not be tempted! I am strong! Oh my god! Look over there! It’s a distraction! *grabs the noms and drinks and makes a run for it*
Oooooo…DU has liqueur. *runs after DU*
*in a trance* You know…it’s been way too long since a Canadian hockey team won the Stanley Cup…Bryan Adams and Alanis are extremely talented…Canadian football is just as good as American…
You know, the funny part is that the NHL is Canadian… well, at least it started that way. We decided to be nice and let the Americans play too and now look what happened… 30 teams and only 6 are Canadian!
That’s okay though, no matter what team wins, it’s mostly Canadian players anyway
Whoa there tiger, half of us can’t stand Alanis… fingernails on a chalkboard much?
Although I thought KD Lang did a pretty good job of Hallelujah during the Olympic Opening Ceremonies.
I’m not gonna love them. But they’re not worth my time either. What they crave is attention. You want to get rid of the WBC for good? Ignore them. If nobody even notices them, they’ll pack up and go home.
Let’s face it though, that’s never gonna happen.
Thank you. Not only is this a logical, rational, and sensible approach, you also quote Sun Tsu. You have earned both my respect, and OVER 9000 internets!
Its this kind of oh poor them, attitude that is ruining this whole thing.
If u actually read your Bible, you would know that even Jesus Christ got angry, and I mean riotously PISSED at the way the church was being run.
So if you got a problem with me being made at some ignorant JACK HOLE for giving my religion a bad name, please do understand what u preach before you put your foot that far in your own mouth.
P.S. if your going to us a Christan argument don’t use a non-Christan quote
Actually if you take a look at the passage where Jesus gets ‘righteously pissed’ he’s getting pissed at the opportunistic, capitalist, money changers desecrating temple ground, not at the way the ‘church’ was being run.
If you’ll note, I have no love for the WBC and what they stand for and was quite pleased when they were told resoundingly to stay the heck out of my nation. As I stated above, I fully support your right to hate and denounce their actions and encourage you to use it freely. What I was condemning was thehurrican’s comment calling them ‘sub-human’. There is a very dangerous line to cross between denouncing what they say and do, and pointing out that nothing they are preaching is Christian in any sense of the word, and reducing them to ‘dumb animals’. Responding to the hatred they spew by hating them on a personal level inherently leads to the exact same level of conduct and can lead to atrocity, or at the very least escalation of hate to violence. After all, we have no problem executing billions of ‘sub-human animals’ every year.
You signed up for the religion thats central values are meekness, mercy, peace, faith, hope, and love. The fact that there is forgiveness for your mistakes does not absolve you of at least trying to live up to these values. Live them or don’t, I couldn’t care less, but realize it makes you just as much of a hypocrite as they are to demand the right to hate people not just their actions.
P.S. Just because it’s not biblical doesn’t make it less true. It was a toss-out to those with a more ruthless streak as you have to dig pretty hard to find something like it in the bible. If you must have a biblical quote:
Ye have heard that it hath been said, Thou shalt love thy neighbour, and hate thine enemy. But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; Matthew 5:43-44 (KJV)
And unto him that smiteth thee on the one cheek offer also the other; and him that taketh away thy cloak forbid not to take thy coat also; Luke 6:28 (KJV)
So they can hate all they want, and we just have to sit here and take it? I’m calling bullshit on that. I think if they have the right to preach hate, then we have the right to preach about their obvious devolution
The thing is, I’m not Christian, but I know a lot of good Christian people and organizations and even though I’m an atheist I recognize the church for all of the good work it does. It’s a shame that these people give such a good chunk of society such a bad name. I don’t like your argument about using “non-Christian quotes” to back up an argument, however, because other religions, such as Islam, Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Hinduism, and other peace professing religions have a lot to offer philosophically too.
replying hate with hate is good…. and if it doesnt work Just hate more !
seems they are doing it pretty well
That may be true, but I prefer to drown my enemy in the river myself.
I wouldn’t say calling an extremist group of Christians that are going along the same road as most terrorists begin ‘subhuman’ is so out of line. Judging by those signs…yea they’re subhuman and undeserving of living in this country. But that’s just from a servicemember’s point of view..I shouldn’t be offended by that at all <.<;;
You need to go back and reread his comment….. read comments carefully, next time, if you would like to UNDERSTAND it BEFORE commenting on it.
Humans are human, we all have the capacity to hate others and at times this emotion can be constructive, But it is important to keep in mind that they are human too, lest we become so self righteous that we end up just like them.
Be OFFENDED, but refuse to be JUST LIKE THEM.
Actually this specific group (Christian Fundamentalists) are the ones killing abortion doctors and other radical things.
I am a Christian fundamentalist and I don’t know anyone that thinks the people of westboro Baptist church are right.
While I believe Homosexuality and abortion is wrong, killing gays/lesbians and abortion doctors solves nothing. Gays/Lesbians and abortionists are sinners. baptists preachers are sinners. The pope is a sinner. The people at WBC are just as sinful as the people they hate. The only thing that keeps all of us from going to Hell is a relationship with The Lord Jesus Christ.
Anyway… the point is: using the people of WBC as an example of fundamentalist Christians is like saying all Germans are like Hitler.
Hitler was Austrian.
zingggggggggg
dumbass
On the contrary, that just makes the comparison even more accurate.
Your maturity is astounding. Thank you.
oops, now that really was dumb. I forgot to address my last comment towards “jonnnnnn”
The nesting makes us aware of that, but thank you.
^ Godwin’s Law
Actualy, the only thing that prevents all of us from going to Hell is that it doesn’t exist.
Oh, snap
Horse sh!t. Clearly you’ve never visited Detroit.
I thought Hell was west of Detroit, and closer to Lansing…
*goes to check a map*
Oh wait, there is a Hell, Michigan, isn’t there?
When I worked for Comcast I would have to take calls from all over the US, but my primary region was the upper mid west, mostly Chicago. It was always amusing when I got a call from Hell though. Apparently even Hell can’t get good service from Comcast.
I always thought Hell was in Cleavland….
I do believe the section of the supposedly wonderful United States that we are looking for is New Jersey, correct?
Go to hell!
Do not pass Go!
Do NOT collect $200!
I’m so glad I’m not a christian. Sigh . . .
People don’t choose to be homosexual you ignorant jackass. How is it a sin that you are following your own emotions? I do not believe that religion helps anything at all, it just breeds more hate in the world. And don’t even start with the “christianity only fights in the name of god” bull crap, you people have caused about 90% of the wars and violence in history, and now you are saying that abortion and having a chemical imbalance in the brain is a sin? That is called being a hypocrite!
You are so correct! It’s nice to finally read something written by an American (I suppose you are American) that actually have a bearing on what is discussed. Christianity and all religions have at least one thing in common: They all force people to think and believe as they do. Religions don’t like free spirited and free thinking people. Women not conforming into the religious beliefs were burned at the stakes not that many centuries ago. These pracitices are actually used in less developed countries these days aswell. It’s a sign of sanity to read your comments and I thank you for helping me and others argue against ignorance.
Your welcome. I hate organized religion in general, all it does is breed hate. I also hate it when people say being gay/lesbian is wrong, as I have some close friends who are gay and they are very good people. And yes, I am American.
Why do all pro-gay arguments start good but t hen screw up when they say that ALL RELIGIONS AND GODS ARE TRYING TO MIND CONTROLLED EVERONES!
My faith right now is Under Construction, but the church I was and still consider myself part of has nothing to do with control, or brainwashing, or fighting in any sense but spiritual.
I didn’t say they are mind controlling, or anything like that. I don’t like them because I have looked at many of the wars and violence throughout history, and they have been caused by one person saying “my religion is better than yours” and then throwing a stone. If there was no religion, people would not fight. There would not be terrorists like Osama Bin Laden, and the World Trade Centers would still be standing. Those thousands of people who died that horrible day would still be alive. People can believe what they want to believe, but I will still counter their beliefs with historical facts that disprove their statements.
the relifion itself is not at fualt here but rather the man that professes his own personal righteousness and beliefs.
you are right that many of the wars have been fought over religion, or religious views. but all of these wars were started by man for mans benefit. it is unfair to characterize a religion based of the actions of those who “profess” to believe in it. i suggest studying the varying faiths on your own and finding out for yourself before you make such an argument. and to say that if there was no religions ppl would not fight is completely biased and not based off of facts. take hitler, napolean, the romans, vienam, any number of conflicts. some are fought for glory, others are fought for expansionist reasons, while others are for nothing more than spite or dislike, want or greed.
it is in human nature to be fallible and to strive for something that is out of reach and when two or more factions reach for the same star they inevitably end up in one and anothers way and as such they quarrel
After a quick reprise of the thread, would you say that it is probably true that there have been many wars started over (a) man’s desire for wealth/power, but using religion as an excuse for the war itself?
i would say that yes man does use god and religion as an excuse/ reason to fight and to war.
take the vikings a race bred to believe that fighting and dying in battle would lead to valhalla or heaven if you would. the crusades may have started out as a completely religous reason in the first one, but they quickly degenerated based on mans desire and greed and coveting anothers goods, wives and land. it is not the religions fault in most cases but the mans. just my personal opinion. oh and sorry if my english is bad… it is not my first nor is it my second language
I’d not realised you weren’t a native English speaker, so kudos points for that.
We are both viewing history in pretty much the same way.
I also have many gay/lesbian friends. The only reason at all that I count myself as Christian is that my dad is. I really don’t go to church, though. I agree that organized religion only breeds hate. I have seen it in some of my classes in school. One of my friends is very Christian and is almost always, whenever the subject comes up, against abortion and homosexuality very openly. He always seems to hide behind the Bible for his reasonings about this. I always have to wonder where in the Bible it says not to be gay or lesbian or get an abortion.
It doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that abortion is a sin, nor does it say that being gay/lesbian is a sin, at least not in the parts that I have read. They didn’t have abortions when the bible was written, therefore it cannot be a sin. And if they say that it is a “thou shall not kill” thing, a fetus is not alive, it cannot support itself outside of the womb. I have no idea why being gay or lesbian is a sin, seeing how the bible says that god created man in his image, which if you go by that way of thinking, then God is also gay, lesbian, bisexual, and straight all at the same time.
Not to sound harsh, but you may want to research what you think being homosexual has to do with a “chemical imbalance”. That’s totally incorrect, uninformed, unsupported, oppressive, demoralizing and discriminatory. Think twice about that that is supposed to mean, since you seem to be fighting on the side of homosexuals.
Hitler was from Austria
and now when we are going Josef Stalin was from Georgia
(not the American state but the contry south of Russia)
Top Ten Signs You’re a Fundamentalist Christian
10 – You vigorously deny the existence of thousands of gods claimed by other religions, but feel outraged when someone denies the existence of yours.
9 – You feel insulted and “dehumanized” when scientists say that people evolved from other life forms, but you have no problem with the Biblical claim that we were created from dirt.
8 – You laugh at polytheists, but you have no problem believing in a Triune God.
7 – Your face turns purple when you hear of the “atrocities” attributed to Allah, but you don’t even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in “Exodus” and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in “Joshua” including women, children, and trees!
6 – You laugh at Hindu beliefs that deify humans, and Greek claims about gods sleeping with women, but you have no problem believing that the Holy Spirit impregnated Mary, who then gave birth to a man-god who got killed, came back to life and then ascended into the sky.
5 – You are willing to spend your life looking for little loopholes in the scientifically established age of Earth (few billion years), but you find nothing wrong with believing dates recorded by Bronze Age tribesmen sitting in their tents and guessing that Earth is a few generations old.
4 – You believe that the entire population of this planet with the exception of those who share your beliefs — though excluding those in all rival sects – will spend Eternity in an infinite Hell of Suffering. And yet consider your religion the most “tolerant” and “loving.”
3 – While modern science, history, geology, biology, and physics have failed to convince you otherwise, some idiot rolling around on the floor speaking in “tongues” may be all the evidence you need to “prove” Christianity.
2 – You define 0.01% as a “high success rate” when it comes to answered prayers. You consider that to be evidence that prayer works. And you think that the remaining 99.99% FAILURE was simply the will of God.
1 – You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history – but still call yourself a Christian.
Sorry if this was harsh, its just impossible to have a convo with a fundamentalist, they don’t bend at all or take into account anything not written in the bible.
No, those are the top ten signs of being a CHRISTIAN in general. All of this is what the average christian thinks, there are some that are ok, but most will try to disprove scientific facts with fairy tales from the “holy book” they call the bible, otherwise known as “Stories To Tell Children So They Will Be Afraid of Something That Is Not There”.
Erm, not really. Many churches have different faiths and the majority of generalized Christians are believers in science.
I may not be religious myself, but have at least a little respect. We only need to worry about the crazies, not people who like Christianity.
I have no respect for people who believe things that are obviously not true, like creationism.
Blah. Creationism is a different story. I don’t agree with it, but I’ve learned not to care about people who refuse to believe proof. They won’t listen, no matter what you do, because they’ll believe what they want to believe.
Now, the majority of Christians don’t follow creationism, though.
That’s not true in my experiences, I only had 5 people in my earth science class a few years back because the rest “didn’t want to hear the words of the devil” or some stupid excuse like that. They are just blind to the truth.
If I remember correctly, the Catholic Church has accepted Evolution as a plausible theory. Being Christian doesn’t mean ignoring science. Being a fundamentalist Christian means ignoring science.
I guess most of the people around here are fundamentalist then, even if they don’t protest. It just annoys me when people say gays/lesbians are sinners, because they aren’t. Love is not a sin, coveting is. Love is love no matter what gender you are, and that is what these morons don’t get.
For example, even the pope admits that scientific proof has now disproved creationisim
Yeahhh not all Christians think like this. I’m a Christian, and I couldn’t care less what other people believe in. To each their own. They’ll not go to Hell any sooner than a Christian. I know a lot of Christians that are really chill. It’s the extremist psychopaths that give Christianity a bad name! But that was quite the generalization you made there…
You made my day! Thank you!
If every life is precious equally in the eyes of God, how can gays and lesbians be sinners if their simple lifestyle choices don’t hurt anybody? Don’t back up your argument with the whole “AIDS started with gays thint”! Every other STD in the history of forever has started in the heterosexual community.
1. The verse in the Bible that talks about homosexuality being a sin is in Leviticus, a book of the Bible that points out the rules of Judaism, none of which Christians follow
2. Homosexuality is not recognized as a cardinal sin or anything like that and it doesn’t hurt anybody
3. If you’re going to go with the Pat Robinson defense and say that AIDS was a plague on the gay community, I would like to point out that, a. heterosexual people can get it, and b. every other STD in the history of mankind started out in the heterosexual community.
No, no. AIDS was a plague sent by god to destroy gay men, because god hates f*gs. Though it should be noted that god LOVES lesbians. They remain the least HIV infected demographic. Er…I guess god hates straight chicks now to as we are currently the demographic most likely to contract AIDS.
I can’t believe that people who claim to be pro-life would try to solve what they perceive as the problem of abortion through more killing. People have a right to be fundamentalists but cross the line at hypocrisy.
Are you sure they aren’t? I’d say it’s only a matter of time till someone more crazy than most gives it a try! These people make me sick.
They will die because the whole church are basically one family. Close family ties means that in this case they will subdue because of genetic disorders. They marry their cousins and half siblings, sharing the stupid gene they all carry. This gene will multiply for every new generation. You could say, they will bring themselves down. I keep my fingers crossed it will happen soon.
Dude. Bloody Brilliant.
I couldn’t agree with you more.
lol, the irony is killing me right now…
i find it rather ironic that they think its good that the people who fight for the freedoms that let them make those signs are dead. and im dure if you put THEM on the front lines, they would change they’re minds about IED’s real quickly.
Really? This is somehow funny?
the joke lies in the fact that “smoke a cigar” is a euphemism for blow job.
I was going more for the fact that f@g means cigarette in Britain (maybe)… but he smokes cigars sometimes.
GAH! Ninja’ed! Stupid moderated comment let Wow beat me.
And I just realized that the way I worded that made it sound like I wrote it. I didn’t.
That’s how I interpreted it…
The innuendo still works either way.
OMG WTF. My comment was moderated for saying a word in the fvcking caption. Are you fvcking serious? Let’s try again:
Noooooooo.
The joke is that “f@g” is another word for “cigarette.” So God hates cigarettes, but enjoys a cigar now and then. Am I the only one who got that?
Q-<-<
At first I thought your ninja had two sets of legs.
A ninja with two sets of legs would be everyone’s worst nightmare.
I was terrified. I might or might not have cried a little.
You wet ‘em, didn’t ya, Wino?
Everyone’s worst nightmare… or a centaur. Or both!
The ninja centaurs are coming!!!
posting in epic thread
But we’ll never see them coming!
Is that another euphemism?
Is there a unicorn joke? I think there might be.
If only we believed hard enough :/
Or this, from I Has A Hotdog!:
http://ihasahotdog.com/2010/03/12/funny-dog-pictures-shitzu-ninjas/
The Indian baby with two sets of legs couldn’t even walk.
For reasons other than that it was a baby.
I think the majority of us are focused on the insulting picture. so yes, you probably are, and most likely the only on who gives a fvck about the caption.
Okay then. You can shut up now.
I think the only majority you’ll find who are thinking like that would be one within a rather limited group.
nope, I got it too.
I got it. And lol’d.
being Australian, i got it.
Pretty much all the non-American English speakers plus all the Americans who are educated or travelled enough to understand that US English is not the only dialect of the English language in existence should have got it. Judging from the mass of “this is stupid” comments, there don’t seem to be many of those on here though *sigh*
Unless “this is stupid” is by way of an introduction.
Damn! Double ninja’d!
You got moderated for saying f@g, didn’t you?
So we can’t use a word in our comments that’s in the caption? *headdesk*
You got it. I see that word down the right side of my screen over and over in the recent comments (which annoys me), but we can’t say it.
And apparently since we all tried to write that word out normally, the nesting is gonna be fubared on this thread. *headdesk repeatedly*
Nice.
gives rando a cushion for headdesk so he dont get a bad head
That’s right, folks. Rando doesn’t like it when he gets bad head.
I mean, really. Who does?
I know right?
Bad head? Any head is good head. Just some head is better than other head.
bad head=teeth are used
F A I L
Oh…I thought it was funny….
I enjoy anything that makes fun of WBC.
Wow. thats just rediculous.
I know, it’s ridiculous too!
But is it ridonkulous?
Ridiculoso
Are there boggarts about, then?
That’d be Riddikulus, I believe.
Just stupid.
And Westboro is just evil.
Is stuffing the flag down your pants more offensive than burning it?
Chances are there’s already plenty of burning down her pants.
And chafing. *nods*
I think it’s more offensive to wash the flag.
I think these guys protested at my old high school a while back – if it’s the same group, their goal is (no joke) to get punched by angry passerby so they can sue. That’s how they fund their cross-country trips. I believe they’re all one family, too. One big inbred family >.<
They protested a high school in St. Louis (where I live) not too long ago. That seems to be one of their newer ways to annoy people.
Wait, they protested at a high school, or they protested a high school in general? Because I could completely believe the latter.
Down with high school! Down with high school!
God hates high school almost as much as he loves ‘IUD’s’
See, someone gets it.
How does god feel about IOU’s?
He loves it. Why do you think you can do anything you want until you truly feel repentant?
Here’s a link to a blog entry about the event. My brother is one of the pictures. I won’t tell you who he is.
{http://www.showmeprogress.com/diary/3710/god-hates-f@gsaccording-to-the-westboro-baptist-church}
You have to change the @ to an a due to the site moderating again.
I hadn’t seen the ‘you will eat your babies’ sign before. Are they predicting cannibalism?
They totally mangled that quote.
“” ‘If in spite of this you still do not listen to me but continue to be hostile toward me, 28 then in my anger I will be hostile toward you, and I myself will punish you for your sins seven times over. 29 You will eat the flesh of your sons and the flesh of your daughters. .. “
I suspected as much, but I still don’t get the meaning.
Oh I don’t get it either I just wanted to point out that they quoted the bible incorrectly.
Okay. Thanks for the correction, anyway. Maybe someone else can explain it.
Well, it’s under the “Punishment for Disobedience” section. Does that help?
I think that the bible might be saying that your kids are gonna pay for stuff you do. But what do I know, I’m pagan.
Blessed Be, Kurt. Im Wiccan as well. And yes, i believe so. The things we do in our lifetime will most definately effect our children, and so on.
That’s a little different than eating them though.
Go Rando’s brother!
I think i spotted him
You know that group, then, because that IS their goal. (Though they also truly do believe the ____[insert word here that English has yet to come up with to describe the truly heinous nature of their ideals]____ they say.)
I do believe sh!t or bullsh!t would apply here. Although a stronger word would definetly be better.
Steaming pile of bullsh*t is what I like to use when it’s more than just bullsh*t.
For an even higher level I like steaming, fragrant pile of diarrheic sulfuric bullsh*t
Feel free to come up with as many adjectives as possible
I would probably be one of the first to punch them. XP
First, I have to say, I busted up at the caption. Those Westboro nuts come to Columbia, MO pretty frequently. So I’m used to seeing them & love anything that makes fun of them.
They don’t usually manage to get punched in the face, when they’re here, though. A few months ago they were here to protest a Christmas concert by the local men’s chorus. (Yes, the singers were gay.) A bunch of residents turned out with nonsense “protest” signs of their own–”God hates shrimp,” “I have a yo-yo,” “I like wigs”– & occupied the space in front of the theater so that concert goers could enter unmolested. Last summer, the Phelps clan was protesting a small playhouse for producing a “gay-themed” play. A local group organized a fund raiser for a LGBT charity: several hundred people pledged money for each 15-minute increment of time that the Westboro folks were actually protesting.
Hey! I like the fund-raiser idea. We haven’t had them here yet, but they did try to attend a soldier’s funeral in another town. Fortunately the Patriot Guard came and blocked them. One did try to lodge an assault claim because he was knocked down by one of the bikers, but the deputy just accepted the biker’s version, which was that he was just picking up a flag that had ‘obviously accidentally been dropped’ and didn’t realize anyone was standing on it because, of course, no one would intentionally stand on the flag.
That’s blasphemy, right?
Wow. I didn’t know they were in our fair state that often.
Hey look guys! I see a dead horse being beaten! This picture is not new. It has circulated this site. It isn’t funny. It’s a bunch of fanatics. Let’s move on to funnier pictures FFS.
WBC gives us something we don’t get here very often. Someone that everyone no matter what their political affiliation likes to make fun of.
Of course the picture isn’t funny. The caption, however, is.
*gets seated at her desk before cameras dressed in a smart suit*
This is a public announcement from your dear friend Captain Wow. Though a few ‘Christians’ belong to this wingnut church, we are not all like this. Thank you and have a great weekend!
Question, Captain! How smart is your suit? Is it smarter than a 5th grader?
or a 9 year old?
These people are NOT Christians. They are a a bunch of kooks who try to use the Bible to justify their insane world view.
I find it ironic that this country and it’s laws about freedom of religion and speech – nevermind their 501c3 status (which may have been revoked by now) that made their stupidity possible.
In NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM do these yoyo’s represent anything like reality. In fact, they have one hell of a surprise coming – literally.
I hope that yoyos do represent reality.
I think yoyos do a good job of representing reality. Sometimes things go down, but then they go back up, then down, then back up. And sometimes when things get really bad it gets completely unraveled.
And if you need to, you can stop and wind it back up if you have the patience.
That’s right! You can pull yourself up by your yoyo string! Hey, conservatives, we’ve got a replacement for that dated bootstrap theory! It’s the yoyo theory!
Um, my yo-yo string broke. Can I get a replacement?
No! Use your bootstraps!
Here! *Gives mabsba a new string*
Yoyoing a boot…not such a good idea.
Sorry but if Muslims have to put up with being bundled in with Osama, Christians should have to put up with these freaks.
I don’t think so. I don’t think Muslims should have to put up with Bin Laden, and Christians shouldn’t have to put with WBC.
OMG – I agree with Rando!!!! Seriously, just because they call themselves a church doesn’t make it so. I am SO TIRED of hearing people playing apologist for Muslim because of extremists but lumping everyone who calls themselves “Christian” in one group.
But everyone uses the Bible to justify their world view. It needs to stop. The Bible is so old and contradicts itself.
People shouldn’t just talk about “the Bible”. It’s made up of 60 something books written hundreds, if not thousands of years ago by people who were semi-schizophrenic and precursors to the crazy preacher guy on the corner in front of Walgreens. Also, people are always quoting crap from Leviticus to justify bigotry while enjoying a nice juicy pork chop with a popsicle containing non-locust derived food dye for desset. I am hungry.
Arrest them and hang them for treason.
you cant say b…u****m now omg
First time ive known this to go to 2 differant comment pages. Wacky night ahead, lol
“God hates your tears”… Wow, I hate my tears too, I hate to cry. “Thank God for IED’s” Why doesn’t someone just send these people to Afghanistan? Then they would be in heaven.
How did my comment end up way up here?
been doing that all night, must not cry, god hates my tears,
The nesting is all goofy. I think because some of us used a word in the caption.
thank you, i so agree. if they knew what our troops had to deal with, had to witness, they wouldn’t be so quick to talk crap.
yes they would. Don’t even doubt it. They don’t give a d@mn
then they should be forced to join the service. or just die. eithe works. then we wouldn’t have to be bothered with them talking cr@p about our heros.
It’s not just what they say about our soldiers. They protested at a couple local freaking high schools here. Not even really sure why. I think something about our liberal schools encourage homosexuality or some crazy sh!t. I just looked it up on a blog and saw a picture of my brother at the counterprotest. Well done, my brother. Well done.
Kudos to Rando’s brother!
Death is to good for them. Even a long slow and excruciatingly painful death. I am in favor of simply revoking their right to exist.
Please don’t have them join the military. We really don’t need their type in here.
However, just running through the idea in my head, I’ve come up with two possible situations. In the ideal world, they’d join, mouth off to the wrong person, and be a friendly fire incident. In the most likely real world, they’d be such a f@#$!ing pain in the a$$ that they’d make life hell until someone even dumber than them realized their potential and made them a policy maker at the Pentagon.
My apologies to all Pentagon employees, but there are some really dumb SOPs out there.
Why do people blame the military (in general) for what they are ordered to do?
iask myself that question on a regular basis. they obviously don’t realize what the soldiers have to deal with and the things they see when overseas. My boyfriend has been in Afghanistan since last august, and just a few days ago, he told me that they had yet another memorial service, and he was almost crying. and, just 2 weeks after he actually arived in Afghanistan one of his buddies was killed. land mine. these people clearly don’t realize the devastation that comes with being in the military.
I still go with them being batsh!t crazy. Fortunately we have the Patriot Guard to protect the bereaved families when these whackos show up at funerals.
God, so true. I can’t believe they actually have the audacity to show up at funerals, protesting. the families of the deceased troops have enough to worry about at the funeral of their loved ones. It’s sad, really.
Mabs, if one hadn’t read your below post, it almost looks at though you are calling our service people batsh!t crazy.
lol. Charro, you’re right. Of course I meant the whackos in the picture. Obviously Splitter and I were just wandering around aimlessly, continuing our conversation without regard to order. But WE knew what we’re talking about.
Very correct Mabs
BTW, I believe we’ve voted for shooting them. Otherwise you have a better suggestion? There was the idea of dropping them somewhere in Afghanistan.
I think we should drop them in Afghanistan unarmed.
Well, I was thinking they could keep their picket signs. If any of the Afghans they meet read English, they’ll assume it’s about THEIR soldiers.
Oooh! That is a good idea.
I think that would be a VERY good idea, thank you very much. Drop them in Afghanistan first, then, if they still don’t see our troops as heros for doing what they do and saving our @sses in the process, feel more than free to shoot them.
Ooo, you’re awfully nice. No, I think the plan was more just drop them in enemy territory and let the Afghans have at them. We’ll let them take their Bibles, too. That should go over well.
Ohh you guys, what evil thoughts!
..I love you all for it. Normally I’m not really pro-violence, but in this case I’m very much inclined to say “drop them, but ‘forget’ to give them parachutes beforehand.”.
I like the way you think Miss Fit >.<
Well, I managed to figure it out..
Well, of course! I wouldn’t expect a simple thing such as random ordering to disrupt your correct interpretation of a conversation.
Oh lordy please say it aint so… ”Then they would be in heaven” UH UH… I’m going to hell then if they are in heaven. or maybe purgatory. Or wherever these people are not.
What the hell is wrong with these people? I can’t even begin to try and comprehend what the fudge they are trying to do, except for kicking every living thing in the figurative nuts for teh lulz. I’m not from America, but I heard that they also go to the funerals of soldiers who were killed in Iraq and Afghanistan to actually “protest” there? It’s so sad, really.
My guess: Brain worms.
Ooooh, I wonder if those are like a delicacy for Andy?
Their brain worms are safe, I wouldn’t get near those creatures for fear of flying into a homicidal rage and winding up in prison – I’m too pretty for prison.
Hey, Miss Fitt, where you been? Yes, they came to a funeral here in New Mexico, but the Patriot Guard (a volunteer group) blocked them from view by the funeral procession.
Oh, you know… Places…
…Places that require exams about 500 years of British history and ‘How-to-write-your-essay-well-in-MLA-style’-questions. But I’m alive, lol.
I read something like that in the newspaper. It’s so… mindblowing that there are people like that, causing havoc on someone’s funeral, and it must be so painful for the family and friends of those soldiers. It’s good to know that there are people like the Patriot Gueard then.
me thinks someone is playing with the comments, cause mine are all over the place… or everyone has given up. yawns too late now
Who the hell do these idiots think they are? They make me think of Metallica’s song “Holier Than Thou”
Before you judge me, take a look at you,
Can’t you find something better to do?
Nothing’s changed, your brain is still gelatin!
Thank God for IEDs? Where’s one when you need it?
god hates cigarettes but like to smoke cigars on occasion… get it?
If God hates f@gs, why did he invent tobacco?
Your comment requires a Bill Hicks quote:
Why is marijuana against the law? It grows naturally on our planet, serves a thousand different functions, all of them positive. To make marijuana against the law is like saying that God made a mistake. Like on the seventh day God looked down, “There it is. My Creation; perfect and holy in all ways. Now I can rest. [Gives shocked expression] Oh, my, Me! I left fvckin’ pot everywhere. I should never have smoked that joint on the third day. Hehe, that was the day I created the platypus. Hehe. But if I leave pot everywhere that’s gonna give people the impression they’re supposed to…use it. Now I have to create Republicans.” “…and God wept”
Opium poppies.. Peyote cactus.. Psilocybin mushrooms.. Coca leaves.. Ergot.. Iboga.. Ephedra.. Nightshade.. God created them too (if you believe in that).
Tyramine, Dopamine, Epinephrine, Norepinephrine.. Etc.
“Now I have to create Republicans!!” LOL
Although actually I think the word is “prig”. I know some Republicans who imbibe. Not me.
GOD HATES UNICORNS!!!!!!!!!
*holds up bunches of protest signs* Protest signs! Get your protest signs!
“God hates flags”
“This is a sign”
“I was promised donuts”
“Corduroy skirts are a sin”
“Silly hats ONLY”
Hi! Do you have “Dogs love f@gs”?
No, all out. I do still have “God hates Gaffs”
God hates fish hooks?
*nods sadly* They are an abomination unto him.
God hates giraffes?
*checks through inventory* Nope, nothing about Giraffes. Though I do have one with a picture of a duck billed platypus. *holds up sign that says “God Loves Marijuana”*
Do you have any “I’m not wearing underpants” left?
Yes, I also have a few “I’m wearing women’s underwear” as well.
Screw theses people and let them die soon.
Oh, the poor theses people! Science will be devastated with their loss.
*sobs* They’ll never finish their theses! Oh the huge manatee!
I don’t find this funny at all. Caption or picture. “God hates your tears”, “Thank God for dead Soldiers”, “Thank God for IED’s”. not only is that very contradicting, but insulting as well. Especially to us who have family/friends/girlfriends/boyfriends overseas fighting for our freedom and safety, people should be thankfull for our troops for actually having the balls to do something about everything that’s going on over there. Hate the war, love the Soldier. It’s not their fault that they have to act upon what the government has started. They are simply doing their duty and fighting to save our @sses. These protesters should be sent to Afghanistan or Iraq. Then they could see what the Soldiers are put through, the horrible things that they see, then maybe they wouldn’t be so quick to judge. And I, too, find it pathetic and rather sad that they are using “GOD” to justify their insane ideas.
Ah, you really don’t know who these people are, do you? They are NOT anti-war protesters. They believe everything those posters say. You can find out about them by googling Westboro Baptist Church.
I never said they were. But it sure as hell seems that way. “Thank god for dead Soldiers”? really? once again, it’s not their fault, or “God’s” fault for that matter, that our troops are fighting and dying. And if you read that last part to my previous post, you’d find the main point of that whole rant.
I was trying to point out that they’re totally batsh!t crazy. They DO know and they DON’T care. If anything, they are pro-war in that they think it’s God’s punishment for American immorality that our soldiers are dying.
Understood, and that is exactly my point. But I really don’t understand how this pic/caption is, to any extent, comical.
It’s a poorly executed pun.
*ahem* Reposting because my comment is awaiting moderation for use of the word f@g.
I thought it was a well executed pun.
If you missed the explanation above, f@g is British slang for cigarette.
Also, I think to a large extent they enjoy angering people. I feel the best (legal) way to deal with them is to mock them as often as possible rather than getting angry with them. Find them as a source of amusement and humour and it takes away some of their power
Another wacky fact from across the pond: until recently, in private boarding schools (like Eton & Harrow) a f@g was a younger pupil who acted as a personal servant to a senior pupil: the ancient system known as ‘f@gging’ died out some time around the 70s. So the caption could have read ‘God hates f@gs – so he has to toast his own buns’
Is toasting one’s buns a marijuana reference?
I suppose I should clarify, the pun is all right.
The execution fail is in using the picture.
Yes, I agree with Charro. Not exactly the best picture one could use to get this point across.
I see the Westboro Baptists are making the Baby Jesus cry again…
I can’t stand people like this. They REALLY piss me off. Those soliders DIED SO THAT YOU COULD PROTEST AND YOU DECIDE TO PROTEST AT THEIR FUNERALS?!?!?!? WTF!?!?!?! Thses people need to go over seas and see what its like over there, then maybe they’ll be a little bit more respectful of those who died. God loves IEDs my a**.
stupid americans
*nom*
Hmmm, English brains are like english muffins – lots of nooks and crannies.
*offers Andy some butter*
fyi, we are not all like those nut cases in the picture. some of us, like me, are actually quite civilized.
There’s not reasoning with the English.
Very good point Mabs
I’m charro.
Oops, my bad. I didn’t notice that. Not really completely awake today.
Sometimes it’s hard to tell in the dark.
The fins! The fins Rando!
That and I have never bothered to get a ‘real’ avatar.
“stupid americans”
Agreed, the WBC are Americans that just happen to be stupid.
I’m not really a Christian myself, but I would like to believe that there is some manner of judgment in the hereafter, and a special place in Hades for people like this. It is my sincere wish that, if there is a God, that He sees fit, in His wisdom and mercy, for these people to suffer shards of burning steel rending their flesh while a pressure wave drives the air from their lungs, causing their next breath to be one of superheated gasses and soot. Or, failing that, perhaps He may see fit to see these people copulated by the most virile and potent of stallions. These are the people who make real Christians embarrassed of their faith. Their perversion of a beautiful religion of love, peace, and forgiveness is just as blasphemous as that of al Qaeda.
I agree with everything you said. Maybe I am more of an agnost than an atheist after all.
Strictly speaking, an atheist is one who does not believe in a deity or deities / that are responsible for our creation and have a vested interest in our existence.
So you can still wish them to Hades, Miss Fit! Win-win!
Hmm, perhaps I should begin a new religion – Hadeism. Ooh, I actually like the sound of that. You with me? *ponders about new ten commandments*
Hmm, you’re right Charro, I’m really bad with terms like these, lol. Must… remember… philosophy.. lessons…
I’m still kind of unsure if there actually is some kind of God/Allah/Jahweh/Chuck Norris up there, or that we are all dead and stay dead once we’re… dead. I do, however, like to think like Sylderon does, that there is something up there. Above all, some sort of Divine Justice to deal with pricks like these Westboro nuts. An agnost is someone who believes in an Afterlife but claims to not know what that might be or who is up There, right?
… You question Chuck Norris?
-I- don’t question Chuck Norris.
I had a dream that Chuck Norris commandeered the hotel reservation me and 8 friends had. The room the hotel gave us instead of the one we reserved was just a dirty bathroom. Chuck was really mean about the whole thing. So I no longer like Chuck Norris cause he’s a big dumb meanie poo poo head!
Did you know that when Chuck Norris swims, he doesn’t get wet? The water gets Chuck Norris.
Oh shi–
*gets roundabout kicked to the Afterlife*
Agnostics are the eternal fence sitters
That sounds about right, lol. Y’know the kid that always gets chosen last with gym – that’s me. I suck at sports.
Rather than condemning them to the type of pain they like to claim others will have to suffer, wouldn’t it be more ironic to just have them forgiven, yet having to live with the shame of passing judgement on others that did not deserve it?
That may be true, but unfortunately, I see one problem with your reasoning: These people have no shame, no decency, no honor. My grandfather still has bits of German steel in his legs from the Battle of the Bulge, and for these people to claim that God delivers similar punishment nowadays, they are basically saying that God is a colossal prick, or perhaps a violent drunkard. They offend so many groups simultaneously, there is no question as to their lack of respect for others. Personally, I try to pity them, not hate them, but it’s hard for me.
They deserve scorn and mockery at the least.
They are the closest living equivalent to trolls.
I really do wonder sometimes if they just do it to fvck with people – or for the reimbursement money, as they apparently like to get punched in the face so they can sue.
I concur! Though I still believe the greatest punishment they could suffer would be realising they were wrong.
That’s probably because you, unlike them, have a conscience.
As a gay man, my knee jerk reaction was one of WTF. Thankfully, after a second or two, my sense of humor kicked in and I started laughing hysterically. This kind of joke separates those who can think and those who can’t. Bravo!
i feel like sneeking up behind them and stabbing them in the ass with a kinfe.
I approve the message, although the delivery is a bit weak.
Why the ass?
Why not the ass?
…because they are such BIG a$$es
Sooooo,,,, if God hates F@GS does that include the second & third hand smoke from their burning ???????
one seriously demented bear in the woods
Nocsbear
Can I get a translation?
F@g is a slang term for cigarettes…
Rando knows that.. He meant the demented bear ramblings.
Ok, I have to ask… what is third hand smoke?? The smoke from the cigarette in the other hand of the smoker which makes it 3rd hand smoke, though technically that would be second hand smoke? Or is that air that comes out of the lungs of the person who has inhaled the second hand smoke, which kind of would make it second hand smoke once removed.
The seriously demented bear is infectious! Help.
God weeps when all these people think about is marketing a message of hatred. If you don’t like gay/lesbian/bisexual behavior then don’t engage in it. That’s how it works.
I love the phrase “If you are against gay marriage then don’t get gay married”
Damn.. I wanted to get gay married.
Then maybe you shouldn’t be against gay marriage! *pulls Charro off of gay married couple* Seriously! Stop leaning against them….
But I’m so tired! Hrmpth.
Bow-chicka-bow-wow.
I told a lesbian friend of mine that there’s no difference between hetero and homosexual marriage since when she said on FB that she was doing a bunch of cleaning her wife made sure to click “like.” That’s the kind of response most spouses would give hearing their significant other was getting some cleaning done.
Well, that’s interesting. I posted a comment critical of the moderation–sarcastic but no profanity–and it’s been deleted, along with the responses to it. Apparently we’re not allowed to criticize. I wonder if this comment will see the light of day–and for how long?
You can’t say f@g.
Whoops, never mind; I got caught by the two-parallel-sets-of-comments thing. The moderation may be clumsy but they’re not censoring criticism.
Yes, right now you’re in the evil parallel universe. It’s where we like to spend the most time.
Is this the one where Spock has a beard?
Yes.
What’s weird is that in the evil parallel universe all the chicks have beards too. Freeeeeaaaaaky.
Amazing how all the love, fellowship and tolerance taught in the bible seems to have passed these intolerant hatemongers right by.
absolutely agreed allanon
“Thank God for dead soldiers”. Yeah, thank God for the soldiers who died protecting us from terrorist threats in Iraq. Thank God for the soldiers who died in World War II ensuring that the world didn’t have to speak German. Thank God for the soldiers who died in Iwo Jima ensuring that a tragedy like Pearl Harbor would never happen again.Thank God for the soldiers who died in the Revolutionary War hoping that their deaths would further the cause of American liberty. Thank God for American soldiers all over the world who died fighting for the freedom of the American people – including the freedom of speech; a freedom that has been turned against them time and time again. Yes, I thank God for the soldiers. And if any of them read this comment, I want to thank them too. They put their lives on the line so that people like me have the right to ‘life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness’. You don’t get thanked enough. Thank you.
Christina, you are mostly right. BUT, the war in Iraq was started by Bush Jr and Cheney on the pretext that Iraq had WMD. Iraq did not have WMD. Therefore, the reason for the war was bogus, making the perps liars and war criminals. The fallen American heroes died in vain, in this particular war. All +5000 of them. Have Cheney and Bush Jr been brought to book because of this massive fraud and fiasco?
They haven’t been brought to book on this because the actual legal reason was violations of the UN treaties.
All the WMD discussions were to get the population behind them, not to get permission to do so.
Bush made a decision that is arguable to be good or bad, depending on your point of view. They did not break any laws making the decision. If they did, the leaders of all the other coalition nations would be in trouble too.
How would you feel if Iraq did have WMDs, but our government never investigated? “Sorry you got bombed, LA, but we didn’t think Iraq had any WMDs. Darn. Maybe we should have investigated…”
So now we are pretending Iraq had WMD’s and we’re pretending Iraq bombed LA? Ok, but what about the alien monster that invaded Miami, how are going to prevent THAT from happening…bomb Cuba?
WE MUST INVADE MARS NOW!!!!
Get your ass to Mars.
The WMD question was investigated.
I would feel rather upset, yes. But there are two problems with that scenario.
1: Saddam preferred to keep the weapons to himself, as a threat to use against others, since he knew that if they were actually used against anybody except his own people or Iran (thank you, Ronald Reagan!) his ass would be toast.
2: A combination of Coalition airstrikes in the 1991 Gulf War, further punitive strikes during the Clinton Administration, and a comprehensive and intrusive inspection regime conducted for years under the United Nations effectively eliminated any substantial WMD capability in that country.
Perhaps the greatest tragedy is that, in their rush to hunt down caches of WMD that didn’t even exist, the leaders of the invasion failed to have secured thousands of tons of conventional munitions, which are now being used to produce the very IEDs that these bible-thumping farktards are applauding.
Christiana, I think you may have had a nesting fail. At least I hope so.
I personally think the biggest clusterflop of the war was/is Donald Rumsfield. I do think Sadam needed to be dealt with, but the entire middle east is a damnable situation since the overturn of the Ottoman empire.
I do agree with you that Bush was damned if he did, damned if he didn’t do something. But the something he did was not the answer.
That’s a red herring. First of all we were investigating, through a multilateral UN inspection, which was repeatedly saying that Saddam is insane but he has no new WMDs (it could be argued that his previous use of poison gas counts as a WMD, and indeed I wouldn’t argue that point, but they lacked any kind of delivery system that would make it more than a local threat).
The merit of invading is arguable. My personal opinion is that while it may have been necessary eventually the decision to divide attention when war had already been declared in Afghanistan was a extremely poor, and one heavily opposed by nearly every other American ally. I won’t quibble about motives, or suggest that there isn’t some good that has/will come from it, but it was a poor use of resources for an objective that was significantly lower priority than the fight everyone had already committed to.
Underestimating Afghanistan was unequivocally the dumbest move made by the Bush administration. Instead of using ‘Shock and Awe’ where it counted, where a quick and decisive take-down wasn’t just a good idea, but essential to the success of the confrontation. Instead we have succeeded in pushing the Taliban in to Pakistan… you know… where they have real WMD’s… ready and waiting.
OK, JustaC. Shortly after 9/11, Muslims were going to pay. Of nineteen 9/11ers, many were apparently from Saudi Arabia. Cheney and his VP, George, made the decision that the Muslim country that was going to pay for 9/11 would be… Iraq. This decision signed the death warrant for over one million Iraqis. (AND +5000 US military personnel.)
In hindsight, we know better now… The REAL reasons for the war had to do with protecting US corporate oil assets and interests and expanding US hegemony in the Middle East.
*directs Smurf away from the windmill he is tilting at*
Look, my name is upside down!
Eh, what?
There are better applications of your time than engaging in a futile argument.
Arguments are never futile. They are… futile.
Arguments are futile when you engage an opponent that does not recognise .. facts.
And you have proof of Bush’s intentions? Are are you just making personal assumptions?
*Or are*
All this time and no response? Could it be that YOU didn’t have the facts? Like UN resolution 1441 was the legal reason we went into Iraq.
We can question the personal motives all day long, and I do, and have spoken up about them. But we can’t just spout off our opinions and bash others as futile. Or you can, but you will get called on it.
No, JAC, it’s because arguing with you is futile.
Funny. I wasn’t arguing. Discussing something isn’t arguing.
I was actually trying to put in some factual information.
Futile? I actually agree to a certain extent of the “personal reasons” Bush may or may not have used.
The legal reasons were exactly what I stated. Violations of the UN treaties. (I forget the actual numbers of them)
I don’t think the personal reasons were the only reason in making those decisions, nor the leading reasons. But rather the icing on the cake.
Just the same as Clinton’s bombings in the Sudan were a distraction from his legal troubles, but he had lawful excuses to do so. Icing on the cake.
I did only say terrorist ‘threats’. I understand that Iraq (probably) doesn’t have any WMDs. My point was that soldiers have died protecting American from any threat, real or supposed. These people should be thanking the soldiers that there even IS an America, not berating them for a war that they didn’t start.
It has been hashed and re-hashed on here many time that no one but a very small fringe has anything but respect for the soldiers carrying out the orders and dying for their countries. What smurf pointed out that those giving the orders cheapen the lives of soldiers by wasting them on snipe hunts like WMDs in Iraq. The soldiers lose no honor, but society in general loses when it feels justified throwing away the lives of its soldiers without clear and verifiable cause.
Bullsh!t, the soldiers lose no honor. What about all who belittle them and show them hate? My soldier(he is currently serving in Afghanistan) got many horrid looks when he got home from BASIC. Just at the airport. Now tell me that is justified. seriously. You really need to rethink you wording. It is sad really, seeing all who do not appreciate them saving our @sses.
Dang, where the heck did he end up at? As I was leaving Basic, I kept getting stopped and thanked. It got kinda embarrassing because I felt I hadn’t done anything yet to deserve it.
There are too many people like you. Shut the hell up.
*punches lol in the face*
*hands lol an ice pack* Ooooh. That’s going to leave a mark.
*seconds that decision* It’s entirely possible to support the troops, and oppose the way.
Yes, I agree; which is what I do.
[about the Gulf War] “It was a very stressful time for me,
the war. Ill tell you why – I was in the unenviable position of
being for the war, but against the troops…. Not the most
popular stance Ive ever taken on an issue.”
I don’t even know who Bill Hicks is.
He was a controversial comedian. While many comedians wouldn’t touch the subjects of patriotism, abortion, drugs, and religion, Bill Hicks relished in them. By the time of his death in 94′ he had a cult following and was considered by many to be more of a ‘generation X’ preacher than a comedian. In a College Writing course several years ago, for the whole semester we were to pick a fictional or non-fictional epic hero to write about the whole semester. By the end of the semester my English TA said I had a passion for writing, and corrected him and said “no, just a passion for Bill Hicks”.
Oh and he was way more popular in Europe than he was in America, mainly because the American media would either censor all his “controversial” bits out, or just cut his whole act out entirely, as David Letterman famously did because of a segment Bill Hicks made outlining his pro-choice opinion on abortion. Supposedly Letterman was pressured by anti-abortion activists that had purposefully bought ad time during that particular show. Hicks died about a year later…it’s a pretty sad story, and his stuff is still very relevant and very much still stands true to this day almost a decade later. You should check him out if you’ve never heard his stuff. He’s inspired me in many ways throughout my life. Although he can seem harsh at times, his main message is one of world peace and harmony.
I’ll try to remember that, but I don’t remember much of anything these days.
Freedom of speech. I can say what I want, and you have the right to disagree.
lol, shut the hell up. though Patriarch’s wording may have been off, I still agree, society is f*cked up with the way a vast majority of them treat our soldiers.
Society and vast majority, hmmm that’s an interesting perspective…i’m not saying anything about soldiers from the US or the UK or Germany, or Australia, or soldiers from anywhere…i’m talking about you. Maybe society and the vast majority have something decent to say. Ignoring society and the vast majority just sounds like either you are over generalizing or maybe you are the one that’s f*cked up.
As soon as my boyfriend gets home from Afghanistan, I am most defiantely going to show him your post. <3 you made my day.
This is Westboro baptist church, met the Phelps in person unfortunately. If they’re the only people in heaven i WANT to go to hell.
I think Kim has a point.
Real Life Trolls – You’re doin’ it right
God loves abortion. That is why he produces so many sick fetuses.
Right.
ESAD.
John Hanks, that comment is something Tom Hanks would never say.
These idiots came to my town to protest against a Jewish school and a Holocaust museum. There were 4 of the hate people (including one child) and several hundred defending the museum.
*waves to Dylan from South County* I’m assuming you’re in St. Louis.
hi rando, just want to see how far my comment falls down this page, have fun
So, Angie; now you know. Next?
while i believe that we all have the right to speak our minds this one picture takes the cake ….. just remember to all who know that GOD will get them when hes ready for them to do the work he needs
As a lifelong devoted Christian; I wonder if any of these people have ever really read the Gospels?
*scoffs*Reading’s for f@gs.
The answer to that is likely no. They let their religious leaders distill out whatever message they like and then take their word for it without actually reading, or taking in the context of the quotes spoon fed to them. It’s these kind of people that give Christians a bad name.
The WBC always reminds me of one of my favorite Gandhi quotes, “I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. They are so unlike your Christ.”
It’s a shame he didn’t have a chance to meet more of the type of Christian that takes the time to really think about what it is he claims to believe. This sort of thing is what is often cited by some as the reason they refer to themselves as ‘followers of Christ’ rather than ‘Christians’ as people like the WBC have desecrated the name so thoroughly.
“Followers of Christ” — that’s what my brother says!
It’s a self-creating problem because true followers of Christ don’t go around talking about being Christians (show your faith by your actions, not your words — paraphrasing Christ’s instructions). Only the ones who don’t understand Christ’s teachings go around talking about what good Christians they are. IMO, of course. But I HAVE read the New Testament.
*snort*
Isn’t there any crazy ass out there willing to take one for the team, massacre these asholes , ? If yopu can get away with it on insanity defense then DO EET
The picture is pretty bad, but your comment somehow is more repulsive than the picture is.
I agree.
Lol! this is so true! wow, these people, I love them!!!!!!!! GO AMERICA HATERS!!!!!!!!!!!111!
Hooray! That would make you a moron too.
Congratulations.
He’s clearly British. and before anyone says this is racist, I am British
did anyone notice that one of the signs says “Thank God for Dead Soldiers?”
Actually it’s a Belgian flag.
I thought that sign was an Israeli IDF.
It is, but it’s in Montreal.
No New Orleans.. see in the way back there’s a sign that says “God Hates New Orleans” (especially since they cheated to be Brett in the playoffs.)
Yes MadiPie, I did. Which is one of the main reasons I find this picture so offensive.
damn tree hugging hippies screw them and their “protest” if i was head of sheriff in that town city what ever break out the fire hoses and give them scumbags a bath for the first time in a year and god bless America and its troops
While I hardly object to your intentions, these people are about as far from Make-love-not-war, universal-love hippies as you can get.
I found this relevant. and hilarious!!!!
L*L!! That was f**** bi*** c****! W***, you are a f***** a****!!
Wow, for the dead soldier and ied comment i hope these people lose thier children to illness or gunshots.
Wow, you actually found a way to be as douchey if not douchier than the WBC people. That’s seriously fvcking sick.
Naw, they’re pretty much on par.
Thank God for IEDs is really disgusting.
So is wishing death on people’s children, but I wouldn’t say more.
Fair enough, but they’re DEFINITELY dead even on repulsiveness. And I’m sure the WBC people would cheer on our children dying too.
remember, they did tell us we would eat our children, so yes, they do cheer on our children dying.
Now forgive me if I’m wrong, but I was under the impression that a f a g is a hit of a cigarette and a f a g g o t is by definition a bundle of sticks so if these *shudders* people are so against love and choice, Why would they go about there misgivings in such an unintelligent way.
god isnt real
More real than you.
There is a greater possibility of god being real than you having free will and a brain, and all three of those have really low possibilities.
Ahhh these guys were just here in Vermont and one of my best friends stood right up next to them with a rainbow colored heart and just smiled and held the hand of a female friend of ours. And she was nice to each and every one of them. it was fantastic =)
Sounds good!
Steve Brule Combat Rule #1 = Kill them with kindness, dummy!!!
So cool to hear there are people trying to love them to death! Rainbow colored hearts and handholding will hopefully make those baptists implode.
Those aren’t baptists, mainstream baptists have basically declared the WBC to be lunatics. Please don’t group us all in the same category as these wackjobs, they aren’t anything like us.
He came to our play 3 or 4 years ago because we were showing Laramie Project. BTW it was at a high school in Iowa. We actually sent them a thank you card for the free publicity.
That, right there, is beautiful. +5 interwebs of awesomeness.
Those are some SMART people, everyone else is just brainwashed to think that there actually IS a god..
they r stupid
I love people who challenge other people’s intelligence when they themselves are incapable of articulating in English properly.
You, my friend, look like an idiot.
They’re making a child hold a sign.
Win!!
It’s not so much that God hates America, it’s more of some people’s interpretation of God is wrong. God did not cause an earth quake or the levies to break during Katrina because of Gays or feminists. No… Katrina and the Earth Quake happened because that’s the way the Earth is. God had no part.
Well, thanks for clearing that up.
This is quite stupid. God loves everyone and everything.

ROMANS 9:13 As it is written, Jacob have I loved, but Esau have I hated.
Christina’s comment made my day ^_^ as for the picture… I fail to find the offense. Don’t get me wrong, I hate those people with a burning passion, but the captioner was mocking them – which I can’t argue with! There should be some sort of a way to take their children from them.
I love WBC. They’re good for a few laughs.
…you guys don’t take them SERIOUSLY, do you???
Also, if their god is the true God, then I want nothing to do with him.
It is better to be punished for love than rewarded for evil.
That last line is just so awesome. Thank you, it’s nice to know there are others in this world who think like me.
If i remember correctly they were banned from protesting in canada… or maybe just Alberta.
Horrible bunch of people. I fail to find humor in them. Though it would be pretty funny if one (or more) of them ended up in some sort of gay relationship scandel. I seems to me that a lot of people who are extremely anti-gay are just closet cases.
They’ve been banned from entering Britain at all.
It was pointed out to me recently a common religious belief among the christian faithful that I had overlooked before.
God is everywhere at all times right? He’s in everything, a part of everyone. Therefore it’s logicial to assume that God is also part of every homosexual man and woman. Making him part homosexual. Therefore, God could be planning a righteous fury for their hating one of God’s Creations, and therefore God Himself (or Herself, or Itself depending on your interpretation)
And don’t try to tell me it’s Satan’s fault they’re homosexual, Satan works for God.
God isn’t heterosexual, or homosexual. You can’t have a sexual orientation if you don’t have a gender.
Yes you can, it’s called being bisexual.
Bisexuals still have a gender.
Technically by the ancient definition Hermaphroditic would be the correct term for a genderless entity, however somehow the concept got confused (in a similar way to Toybot’s comment) to become both genders at the same time, rather than genderless.

Weird, for some reason that double posted…
Hey, you don’t need to post twice for me, I’m not the one with ADD, that’s-ooh! Shiny! *plays with a sparkly ball
Mary certianly thought God had a gender. Bow chicka bow-wow.
and I guess that would be how you envision God anyway. God could be genderless, could be everygender, could be a single gender, could be Alaniss Morisette whose very voice would kill any mortal who heard it… no wait… that was Dogma… could still apply though.
Tasteless. People who believe the crap the people in this picture do aren’t worth anyone’s time.
you notice the woman with the God hates the USA is wearing red white and blue with a US flag down her pants?
some of the worst humans alive.
I am a Christian, I however do have a mind of my own that has not been tainted by the legalism of the church. I have my own opinions of what I am taught and they don’t always agree with the lessons of the churches I have gone to. I am expected to believe that being gay is perverse and a sin, and that this is a choice of gay people. But I can’t believe that people would just “choose” to live a life style that is more difficult to pursue than a traditional one. Do gay people just crave attention? I doubt that anyone would choose to be gay just because they want to, for them it can’t be different than me choosing to be with a man, there just isn’t a choice in the matter. I think its sad that we judge other’s sin as worse than our own. I think the bible says that all sin is equal (even though I can’t see lying to my kids about holiday characters is just as sinful as raping someone, but so be it). People do the most horrible crimes in the name of religion and justify their own hate and prejudice on religious brainwashing. No one will ever agree that their religion is wrong and sadly so many people will die or kill to stand up for the theories and faith practices that they believe to be law. These people in my opinion are weak, insecure and susceptible to persuasion. If God didn’t want me to think for my self he wouldn’t have given me a brain he would have created a robot.
I’m sorry, We’re going to have to put your comment up for review. I appears to make too much sense. I’m not sure we are allowed to have that sort of thing here.
Nurse, get me two CCs of LOLcat.
Will that be basement or ceiling?
I think Ceiling would be appropriate (phonetically, that’s right, but it just doesn’t look right to me.)
Two CC’s of ceiling cat coming up. I also have a lolrus bucket on standby if you need it.
Lolrus bucket isn’t covered by his ity-bity-kitty HMO, I tired to reason with them but they transfered me to Shaq holding a panda.
Looks like he’ll have to wait for September.
She doesn’t have that long! This calls for drastic measures. *applies Angela to USBrides.co.uk* Ok, it looks like we have a buyer in Liverpool willing to marry her so she can get socialized health care. We just have to keep her stable until the marriage contract goes through.
All these people are going to hell because making God look like evil is an unforgivable sin. They don’t make any sense either. How is God our enemy? Idiots.

Man, I could go queer just to piss them off!!
don’t be mean guys, i’m homophonic too, or maybe i’m hobophobic… either way they’re just mad because you can’t use gay sex to inbreed!
It’s okay. I understand. Hobos scare me too.
actually i like hobos… unless i happen to be working the late shift at a convience store :S that was always scary…
Ignorant morons….giving Christianity a bad name since the Old Testament
i do not understand.
And people wonder why 1) I’m a atheist and 2) anarchist.
This is just prof there is no god. If there was one there would be a lightning bolt in this picture.
People forget: GOD LOVES! God doesn’t hate.
i cannot believe some people are actually joining this “Religion” its not even christian,i bet phelps hasnt even red the bible
Once again, the lessons of Doc Brown apply.
Same sentiment here, first thing i look at when i loaded the page, was who was posting and where. I saw Rando had made several posts to “God Hates F@gs” when i first loaded the page. Little did i know i had to go through the “click here to read caption” in order for me to see the word F@g again in the Lol caption. I understand the necessity to keep things civilized in public forums, but it was very poorly done in this case.
My lolz are much funnier but also purposely not that confrontational, so i don’t think they get very good reviews. If you don’t shock people one way or the other, they just don’t get that many positive votes here on PK.
I’ve never even seen one of yours, wicket. I just looked, and there are 1770 PAGES of lols up for voting. That’s insane.
BTW, what happened to your avatar?
I still claim that keeping things civilised and random censorship of arbitrary words are not very closely linked. (In other words – PK made a p|ss poor decision to start fecking around with this sh1t. :p )
Well, since even my kid can figure out that you can get around word censorship by simply substituting, eg v for u, it’s not particularly effective. But he is quite a bit smarter than the average troll on here.
i stopped using the wordpress.com and started using my own hosted wordpress.org site. Now if i log in to my wordpress account and post, then PK eats the post and it never shows up. Took me awhile to realize, i thought it was because i was being banned or something, but i’m pretty sure it has to do with linking to a wordpress account that is not hosted at wordpress.com. I have spent a bunch of hours trying to make this great personal blog, and now if i link to it my posts won’t show up….i’m over it, but kind of lame policy if you ask me.
I have never figured out their rules about links. Several people had ICHC eat posts that had ICHC links. That’s really weird. Have you actually asked them?
i did when it first started and the replies were “your posts are showing up here at the admin level” then I’d reply, but i’m not seeing them on the user level, “oh it looks like they are still in moderation”, i’d reply but i’ve been moderated before and it usually shows up as “in moderation”. I stopped posting for several days, and then i’d start again thinking whatever the problem was must have been fixed, but then my posts would stop showing up again. It’s really not a big deal, i’m sure they don’t want people using PK to promote their own websites, but when it linked to my wordpress.com account it never mattered. It’s when i decided to move my wordpress blog onto my own server that i wasn’t able to post anymore. i could probably get my avatar back if i’d change the “my website” form in the admin panel to blank, but then what’s the point. I bet this is a huge post, i type faster than i can think sometimes. I’m ok with posting and not linking to my stuff, but the main reason i made the stupid thing was because i was starting to get a decent amount of hits to my wordpress.com hosted site and i wanted to be able to make changes to the appearance that required access to the files that wasn’t allowed unless you hosted it yourself.
interesting sidenote, I just posted a comment on Danbala’s wordpress.com’s blog and included my personal blog in the “my website” space and it got rejected until i removed the link. so maybe it’s something with my host or wordpress as opposed to just something with PK.
Yeah, but we look really silly talking about “penising our guns” and “Alfred Hitchpenis”.
Although there is something pretty funny about saying Penis Cheney.
I do have to agree with you on that point.
Uh-huh. You’re really a secret pron distributor, aren’t you? THAT’s why your website keeps getting bounced. Mwhahahahahahaha!
Angry cat has been in the ‘nip again.
Richard Cranium. Definitely.
Look man, I’m an atheist myself, but I really do hope that you realize that just as the Taliban uses the Islam, these nutwacks hide themselves behind Christianty, while their “morals” and “values” (if they have any) are far from it in reality?
“This is exactly why I’m no longer a Christian.”
That makes me curious. Have you seriously altered your faith because there are wackos who use the same denomination? How do you reason when making that decision? What bearing does one of the many subdivisions of christianity have on your personal faith?
That’s ridiculous. These people are hardly Christians. If you’re not a Christian anymore, then fine, but don’t blame it on a bunch of assholes.
I am an athiest as well, and i very much agree with your above statement.
“Nutwacks” haven’t heard that one before! Although, for these people, I think that “nutwhacks” would be better. That way, they’re less able to breed and corrupt the innocent minds of their own progeny. Too bad that it’ll take a few decades to weed them all out…
Regardless of one’s religion, they are preying on people’s faith to advertise their own warped agenda. That’s bad business no matter what side your perspective is.
I was wondering about that as well actually, but I was afraid my question would somehow sound offensive in any way because it was her personal decision. *I know I’m not making any sense* You are very good in asking the right questions in the right way, Danbala.
I’m good at making up words, especially offensive ones. For special occasions, one might say. Though I like yours more, seriously had me laughing for a while.
My roommate asked me if I was alright, haha. Though unfortunately, it’s already too late for the kids in this picture. I’m not sure if I should feel sorry for them or not…
Mmm, thank you kindly. I also feel that the word ‘poltroon’ isn’t used quite enough, although it doesn’t really apply hear. And I’ve also found that I’m pretty good at stringing together words in an offensive way, as I did lower down, heheh.
Ok, well I don’t blame a bunch of assholes, but they are a prime example. My experience with Christianity (in several churches and more than one denomination) has been less than ideal. I wouldn’t say that I’ve altered my faith, because I do believe in God, I just can’t identify with organized religion because of actions like this. It’s been kind of difficult to explain in the past, mainly because I’ve always been intimidated before, but as more and more people have asked, I’ve had an easier go of getting out (not always having it met with understanding, present company excluded). I think faith and religion, while related, aren’t interchangable. I’ve experienced several instances where the values touted by Christianity were ignored most blatantly by the very people claiming virtue for themselves by those same values. I had to leave the church because it caused me a lot of difficulty, for lack of a better word, in reconciling how I dealt with people. Faith is an individual entity, but religion is a community. I mentally and emotionally could not at that time endure the juxtaposition of values and actions in the church.
Hopefully I made some sense in that and answered at least one of your questions…
I think that made a lot of sense. I’m not a Christian myself, but I do know that you do not need to belong to a Christian Church to BE a Christian. My middle brother was a long-haul truck driver for many years and also a devout Christian who didn’t really belong to a church because he was gone so much. He used to always quote Jesus when people asked him about not going to church, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.”
Yes, thank you. That made sense, and at least I understand better how you mean now.
I understand what you’re saying, and despite calling myself a Christian, I don’t attend or consider myself a part of any particular church or denomination. I couldn’t handle being told what to believe or how to interpret things. I have my beliefs, and they work for me. I also have issues with the church as the church itself seems to exist more for its own sake than for Christianity. I like what you said about faith being individual, while religion is the community. I agree that hypocrisy is an ugly thing that occurs way too often in the religion.
Thank you guys. I guess the long and the short would be that stuff like this really makes me feel bad. And I really don’t think that’s what faith or religion should be about. I’m not a Biblical scholar, but I’m pretty sure that the God intends us to lift each other up in order to be more like Him instead of cutting the rugs out from under folks.
That’s why I like you Rando.
I’m not a biblical scholar, but I wouldn’t mind being one has a side job. It’s rather a fascinating subject. Especially if you factor archeology and known history into it.
Last year my son’s history class discussed which historical flood was thought to be The Flood referred to in the Bible. The arguments for the different ‘great floods’ being the Biblical Flood were interesting. Apparently, ‘a great flood’ is a common occurrence in many cultural histories.
You mean like the flood of Nineteen thirty oughty sits?
I think they were considering ones that happened a wee bit before that one.
I’ve heard some really interesting theories on that actually. My favourite one is that during the last ice age the Mediterranean sea was dry land (on account of the lower water levels from all the water being in ice form at the poles) and was settled by people. The ice age ended and the water levels rose, but the Mediterranean renamed dry because something(I don’t recall what the theory claimed the something was) was blocking the waters at the Strait of Gibraltar. When that something broke it flooded the Mediterranean and destroyed the civilization that had been flourishing in the sea bed.
Wait, I thought that was the story of Atlantis…
Actually, that is the most commonly accepted source of the Biblical flood story by historians. It was an ice dam that broke. What you are probably thinking of, Eldritch, is the Mediterranean island that blew up (leaving a ring of rocks). Same location, but a different event. It was called Thera or Santorini (different languages).
No no, that’s Stargate.
Yay! I like being liked!
Die please.
Seconded.
The Bible does not specifically state that abortion is a sin. The passage most commonly cited as relating to abortion is about assault and miscarriage. It essentially states that if someone assaults a woman and she miscarries, the perpetrator owes her husband a fine. If additional damage is done, then the husband can harm him in an equal way.
Many people seriously question the validity of using Leviticus as an argument about homosexuality, as the same book contains numerous laws that are completely ignored these days.
I made no comment about abortion, I consider that a politically influenced dilemma. The statement that because something didn’t exist in Biblical times it is permissible and/or excusable is exceptionally faulty, however.
As for ignoring passages in Leviticus because you would choose to ignore other passages in the same book is hardly a good argument for questioning whether or not something is considered sinful or not. The previous chapter condemns theft and various forms of dishonesty. Shall we dispense with those as well? Agreed, we are not all fundamentalist Jews, so perhaps one might care to attempt to dodge all rules by claiming others aren’t relevant to Gentiles (I cut my sideburns, after all, and hardly consider that sinful)? Try 1 Corinthians 6, then? Romans 1? It’s futile to claim homosexuality is not ‘a sin’ since the word ‘sin’ is defined by religion, not society. Prevailing social ideology does not equal theology.
I still stand by the reason I felt the need to post in the first place – the statement that we’re all made in God’s image and therefore homosexuality is condoned. Homosexual relations are condemned in numerous places in the Bible, typically referred to as a ‘perversion’ just like pedophilia is a perversion, necrophilia is a perversion … I question the complete lack of logic involved there, as by that thinking, child prostitution should be acceptable, nay, natural! Because we’re all made in God’s image, right?
Seriously?
As for abortion, it’s a subject I’m happy to discuss but certainly not via commentary on a public forum. It’s a volatile enough subject already, no? Know that I support same sex unions on a social standpoint, though I do not, have not, and will not ever accept the claim that homosexuality is ‘natural’ in any definition of the word. A simple lesson in genetic culling destroys that idea immediately. But I digress.
Thirded. (wait, that sounds inappropriate.)
