Fear, hate and Christianity... They are frequently found together. And when mixed with staggering stupidity, you get something really astonishing, like these people...
http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/law/10/31/funeral.protests.ap/index.html
"A grieving father won a nearly $11 million verdict Wednesday against a fundamentalist Kansas church that pickets military funerals in the belief that the war in Iraq is a punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.
...
"Church members routinely picket funerals of military personnel killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, carrying signs such as "Thank God for dead soldiers" and "God hates fags."
...
"Church founder Fred Phelps held a sign reading "God is your enemy," while Shirley Phelps-Roper stood on an American flag and carried a sign that read "God hates fag enablers."
"Members of the group sang "God Hates America" to the tune of "God Bless America."
Although I've taken the liberty of quoting quite a bit here, I encourage folks to read the entire article.
It's too easy to feel good about the lawsuit. Unfortunately, it does not remedy the madness that is hate and religious. The sickness of these sociopaths and what they do is enough to make one believe that there are indeed forces of true evil in the nation. But that's not the cause. It's just us here. And unfortunately, people are just too stupid for our civilization to survive.
