American Baptists, whats going on?

I'm guessing you're talking about the Westboro Baptist church, a cult like following that believe themselves to be messengers, and that America's tolerance of gays is the reason bad stuff happens. Most Americans don't take them seriously, and for a good reason. They're morons - silly, hateful morons, and should be treated as such. I've found it's easier to ignore them, or think of them as that annoying little piece of gum on the bottom of my shoe. American's are becoming progessively tolerant, so eventually their intolerant mindset will be killed off - or another unlikely scenario is they'll mess up and find themselves in the same mess as the Branch Davidians. Or take a bullet to the head, pick your choice. Unfortunately, there's nothing America can do. They have the freedom of speech. We can only hope they'll cross the line, one day, and give us adequate reason to arrest them.

Yes, that is sick. No, they should not get into any trouble. The same freedom of expression that allows them to say what they did is the same freedom that allows me to say what I want. Even if I hate what another is saying, I will fight for their right to say it, just as I will fight for my right to say that they are wrong. The government has no right to dictate people's morality, nor should it. If I advocate the silencing of what I perceive as stupid, harmful viewpoints, than I am nothing but a hypocrite if I complain when others try to silence my opinion. The opinions must be silenced gradually by knowledge and understanding, rather than by force.

Wow what program was you watching? And how do People know what God hates I really wish they would get it into their Brain washed heads that it is the God they say hates everything is the one who has created People how they are and what goes on in this world

What kind of program were you watching??? Was it an Americam program? Which network?

I saw an interview with one of their leaders a few weeks back, they are quite the psycho Brady Bunch. Most belong to one family and there are very few of them but they do make a lot of noise and news unfortunately. I have literally never heard such hateful language spewed by people claiming to religious.... until I came to myLot.... ROFL! It'll probably end badly for them I'm afraid. They're going to tick someone off one of these days who is just as twisted as they are and it'll get real ugly. I'm not a vengeful or hateful person but I don't think I'll shed any tears if that happens.

I'm a Baptist and I am ashamed that someone could be so hateful. I am afraid that it's not limited to one denomination, I have seen a lot of hate talk go on from people from all walks of life. Our God is not a God of hate, and what these people are preaching (if you can call it that) is complete and utterly wrong. These people shouldn't even call themselves Baptists, and I certainly wouldn't consider them true Christians.

America should be like many parts Japan, outlaw religion and religious fundementalism. I cannot stand religion in this country, people go overboard with it. It has led to nothing but trouble. I remember back in high school, people who were not religious were shunned, people who were religious were part of groups. It was a public high school, and things like this were going on. People wanted prayer and they wanted to outlaw homosexuality. I thought it was madness.

Ah, my dear...don't you know that here in America we have freedom of speech and freedom of religion and to persecute anyone for speaking their minds or practicing their religion would be against our Constitutional rights? Which explains why we have to endure and put up with so much crap here

I know who it was. It was Fred Phelps and his "church" Please believe that he and his cult, most of whom are his own relatives, are not vaguely representative of American Christianity. or Christianity. And definitely not Christ.

I respect your concern . Same time I hope you will see whether the U S state policy is based on truth and reality or they demand GOD,S WRATH UPON THE PEOPLE, It is proverb AS SHALL YOU SOW ,SO SHALL YOU REAP.The state policy of U S is killing innocent on pretext or other. They sa9id Iraq has amassed great deal of chemical armaments.Then they said al qaeda is there. But it was not so . Now huge number of people are killed every day . Definitely God will punish who are responsible for blood shed .HE WILL NOT SPARE THE CULPRITS
