If the title of their website doesn't say enough, "godhatesfags.com". The website belongs to maybe the most insane group of religious beings, ever. The Westboro Baptist Church. Established in 1995, Westboro Baptist church isn't your typical church, the Westboro Baptist Church is an independent baptist church known for its extreme stance against homosexuality and its protest activities. They are set out to preach the Bible, and in doing this, talk about the wrongs of adultery, homosexuality, and more. This church has been known for picking funerals of people that have passed away in the war. They say that they reason that they "preach hate" is because that's what the Bible does. They also say that Preist don't tell you what you NEED to hear about that's in the Bible, rather; they tell you what you WANT to hear.
Peoples views on this Church? 93% of people are against it, that's a big majority. Someone said;
"When a group of ignorant, inbred rednecks get together and fom a church, you can expect them to spout nothing but hate. If God hates anyone, it,s the WBC"
People feel strongly about the wrongs that this Church has presented. What they do isn't right, they have no room to judge others on what they believe.
In my own opinion, their nuts. I don't believe that they have good morals I've honestly never seen a group of people with that much judgement on others, it's wrong. People can believe what ever they would like, but when it comes down to it, the way they show how they feel is a few steps too far. To be able to judge someone that easily, and to preach they things they do, I feel it goes against everything God says. One of the main messages that the Bible portrays is the message of love. Being a part of Christianity, following the Bible means understanding what the main ideas are. And, the members of this church don't seem to really understand. I also think it's immoral to judge someone for their sexual orientation, and to say that God does not love them because of it, is just cruel.
Tash, i like the blog, i agree 100% of everything you said, and i like your pictures that you used.
ReplyDeleteThis blog is very well written and i agree with what you are saying. I also think that the pictures really add to your message.
ReplyDeleteI agree with what you said when you said the members of the church did not understand what the Bible said and how it is important to understand it.
ReplyDeleteYou did a very good job in including the words!
ReplyDeleteI agree with your claim. Their protests are not only opposing views in the Bible, but they are also immoral. Being homosexual is a choice and is chosen by having one's God-given free-will.
ReplyDeleteYou really hit it with the pictures but this post is right on, I completely agree with you! <3
