One thing I dont understand. I saw woman near the beginning holding a few banners. One of them read "God is your enemy" while the other read "Obey God".
Why would I obey my enemy? Dosent Westboro believe that everyone is going to hell anyway, regardless of what they do?
Seems like pissing into the wind to me.
Mother_Puncher I hated the song but I like the guy choosing to combat such ignorant, displaced anger with something other than the flipside
Just because hate of homosexuals is the axis of these morons' dogma doesn't mean you should counter protest with a display of homosexuality. You don't have to make it about the gays, but about love and respect. You don't have to imply that only homosexuals hate these fucktards.
DeathRay19999 Seconding the "No." The kid does something no homosexual can be counted on to do, which is to hit on Fred Phelps's granddaughter.
But I like this. You're never going to convert any of the younger Phelpses by telling them how much you hate them. That just confirms their own ideology. We should try to minimize the effectiveness of their protest without being mean around all the kids they drag with them.
Jet Bin Fever Well, I suppose they wouldn't be able to realize it was just a characterization, true. Point taken.
Syd Midnight If I ever go to a Phelps party, Imma pass out cookies and tell people that some of the cookies are gay and some aren't but they were all made with a mother's love.
pastorofmuppets One thing I have to say about Westboro: they know how to make signs that are readable from a distance. So many people lack that skill. They should go into sign-making and forget about religion and all that.
