Westboro Baptist Church reaction to CT shooting

[matt]

This is what the Westboro Baptist Church has published on its website in response to the Newtown, CT shooting:

In your opinion, does free speech have any limits? Does the U.S. Supreme Court allow them to get away with too much?

Perfect Xmastime Destruction!

December 14, 2012

Praise God for the shooter at the Newtown, CT school! The numbers keep rising!

18 Children – 8 Adults! Good ratio! #GodSentTheShooter You taught the children to mock God! Now the airwaves are FULL of breathless reporters asking WHY?! How did the shooter get into the school to kill before Christmas?! Christmas is pagan idolatry! God hates your idols!

GodSmack!

And he went up from thence unto Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head. And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them. 2Kings 2:23-24

Please dear Lord, bereave this nation of their children!

Connecticut Justly Judged!

December 14, 2012

Thank God for the shooter(s?) at Sandy Hook Elementary School, Newtown, Connecticut.

CNN and FOX breathlessly report: one dead shooter, maybe two, a child carried out by police, parents in distress and all the schools in town are on LOCKDOWN!

GodSmack!

Fag Marriage dooms nations! Connecticut is one of nine states with Fag Marriage on your books. Repent, put it away, or look for your full, complete destruction!

If ye shall despise my statutes, or…abhor my judgments…that ye will not do all my commandments, but…break my covenant…I will even appoint over you terror…that shall consume the eyes, and cause sorrow of heart: and ye shall sow your seed in vain, for your enemies shall eat it. And I will set my face against you, and ye shall be slain before your enemies: they that hate you shall reign over you; and ye shall flee when none pursueth you. Leviticus 26:15-17

Why don't these gun nutjobs ever massacre people that are begging for it like these Westbro wackos, I guess the Westbro wackos would be armed to the teeth though as is there constitutional right.

Buzz....believing in God has nothing to do with what the WBC are and say and I find it incredibly insulting that you place me and other Christians in the same category as these vile pigs who pretend to be Christians. I believe in God and am as "normal" as decent and moral as human beings come. Perhaps you need to think about what you say before saying it. You accuse others of being abusive....well you are being just as bad when you say these very nasty and hateful things
We have been able to co-exist and even be pleasant to each other but I won't ever stand for being placed on the same disgusting level as those lowlife scumbags.

[garfield]

Why can't the westbro nuts create god in their own image, you do.

Had this been an Islamic group spouting out this vile filth, you can bet they would have been rounded up long ago.

Not in the UK they wouldn't ;D



More Tea, Vicar?

Abu Qatada has been called “the spiritual leader” of al-Qaeda in Europe and been tied to terrorists across the map from Spain to Chechnya. Her Majesty’s Government in London has spent a decade trying to deport him to no avail. In the course of his legal battles, British taxpayers have given him half-a-million pounds in various forms of welfare. Currently out on bail, he’s now been moved into a three-quarter-million dollar home at public expense.

All that’s par for the course in the suicide phase of advanced western society, but I did enjoy this comment from one of the firebreathing imam’s new neighbors:

However, the vicar at the church said: ‘Absolutely anyone is welcome to our church and I would encourage Mr Qatada and his family to join in our Christmas celebrations and reach out to the local community.’

Mr Qatada was a “spiritual advisor” to the so-called 20th hijacker Zac Moussaoui and the shoebomber Richard Reid, so when he “reaches out to the local community” you might want to stand well back.

On the other hand, like Jesus, he was born in Bethlehem, so there’s that.

Westboro never ceases to amaze don't they?

Plus it's only getting worse can you believe these people PLAN TO PICKET SANDY HOOK VICTIMS FUNERALS!!!!

It's difficult to contain your anger with people like that.

However to answer your question Matt about free speech - that's the price of democracy, unfortunately you have to listen to some vile viewpoints.

If they were advocating murder or terrorism we could legitimately do something about them but they are attributing cause to an event so our hands are tied.

Baptists are sickos, alright!

[garfield]

I'm surprised that you haven't joined them yet.

[jody]

So KTJ, you think as a Christian I act this way too?

You claim you don't belong to any church, so therefore you cannot be a Baptist.

[jody]

but I am a christian.

Now where did I mention the word christian in my post?

This thread is about Baptists (and it's in the thread's title), so that is what I mentioned.

"Normal Christian Behaviour"

[matt]

It's meant to be an anonymous poll.

[jody]

KTJ thankfully isn't a baby and takes it all in his stride.

Well....as usual, you neglected to insert a Piss Off option in the poll.

That is the option I would vote for, but you need to have that option so I can vote for it.

I have inserted that Piss Off option in my recent polls.

[jody]

what i find more interesting Matt is that YOU added that option to your poll.

[matt]

Yes, it is an article on a particular Christian church, the question is relevant. If WBC was an Islamic group, I would have asked if it was typical Islamic behaviour. I'm equal when it comes to these things.

[jody]

yep

[matt]

KTJ did not have to push the button, but I knew he would, even when the Candy option was available. KTJ hates Christians.

To be a bit more precise....a BAPTIST church.

I've already told you several times....put in a Piss Off option.

I can't make the image paste sorry.

Very good, Mr Fat. Everyone should do it, those without cats and dogs can use anything they can find.
