<![CDATA[blurmore @ 1/9/2008 9:19:04 AM]]>« Pahzuzu : What breaks my heart (besides the absolute stupidity of this whole protesting thing) is that this church is going forth in the name of Jesus Christ when this is NOT what He taught. I'm a Christian, a follower of Christ, and it kills me to think what this twisted group of people are doing to turn people from Christ.

I also can't believe that anyone would take their disagreement with the war out of grieving families that are losing loved ones. Regardless of whether or not this is "God's judgment" they shouldn't be responding with hate!This family lived less than 2 miles from my house
it is truly a tragic story. The kind WB loves. It took a Jewish friend of mine's translation of the 3rd commandmant, to really understand it. I never understood how God could be so self-absorbed as to make a mortal sin out of how we mortals used his name when we stub our mortal toes in the dark. My Jewish friend said the Hebrew translates more to "Thall shout not CARRY the Lord's name in vain" which is a small change but makes a BIG difference. It is TOTALLY understandable how God would be totally pissed at mortals for commiting atrocities, and crimes in HIS name. I was pretty fired up about them before the law suit, and I even posted in the forum about what I could do to "hurt" their efforts. People who responded in the forum had it right, don't give them the attention they crave. I saw VERY little about this particular protest on the news around here, as I think even they have finally realized that without news WB would be just a bunch of idiots in rainbow colored signs being scorned on the side of the road.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q24http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q24plime.com <![CDATA[tundramonkey @ 1/9/2008 8:57:53 AM]]>« Sencerd : You claim to be a follower of Christ, but your comments reveal that you haven't actually read the bible yet, have you? Or paid attention to what Westboro actually say for that matter.I've read the old book in dire need of updating that is viewed as 'holy' or 'special' by the masses.

Really, the bible is a free-for-all depending on how you choose to take it.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q23http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q23plime.com <![CDATA[Sencerd @ 1/9/2008 6:27:56 AM]]>« Pahzuzu : What breaks my heart (besides the absolute stupidity of this whole protesting thing) is that this church is going forth in the name of Jesus Christ when this is NOT what He taught.

I received two upvotes on one comment equal to 16 karma but it all of asudden went back down to 0. No one currently commenting in ths post could drop the comment by 16 or any two plimers together. Unless the two eights who upvoted the comment both took their upvotes away.

Edited to add: Its like punthe said the downvote itself doesn't matter its the fact that the downvoter didn't bother to contribute to the discussion.Here!

I don't mind getting downvoted, it is all part of the game. But, if you downvote something, have the decency to explain. I was downvoted by 16. I have an upvote from Wags273 and Pahzuzu. What gives, downvoter?

And now one from leopoldogolba.

And iamtoni78.

And larknet.

*Edit: Still waiting for the faceless downvoter. I promise, you won't be bombarded with downvotes if you come forth. I just want to know why?]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q14http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q14plime.com <![CDATA[iamtoni78 @ 1/9/2008 12:18:46 AM]]>« larknet : The more the press reports about them the more they will keep doing what they do. The longer you ignore them the less impact they will have and eventually will GO AWAY!Good point.

However, do you think that if the media coverage on them faded, that they would move on to something bigger....or actually caused things to happen and claim "GOD told them to". I know then we'd have actual reason to throw them behind bars one by one as they did something. I feel like if they didn't get their attention one way, then they'd turn another way, even to the point of being like suicide bombers. Ok, they maybe the extreme, but do you think they would?

(please say that just made sense..lol. I'm having a moody night thanx to my jerk of a husband and my thought process seems to be a lil unprocessed.)]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q13http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q13plime.com <![CDATA[wags273 @ 1/9/2008 12:12:18 AM]]>« larknet : The more the press reports about them the more they will keep doing what they do.You are correct!

This comment could be misconstrued as a threat. I don't agree with their beliefs, but Wags is partially correct. It is written in the constitution that they can say whatever they want. I think it is great to voice your oppinion, just not in this particular manner.Eh, I don't care about them enough to change my words. If they have freedom to protest funerals, then I have freedom to say I want their church blown apart. Now will I ever act on it....no. I, unlike them, have morals and a conscience. I actually value human life, and feel horrible for people who have had their lives ripped from them. However, these people...ugh. They are the new anti-christ in christian form. Old age can't come soon enough for those people.

The filth and hate that these people spew is sickening. I just really think funerals should be off limits. Mourning the death of a loved one should be sacred, and no one should be able to trample that.]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q8http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q8plime.com <![CDATA[punthe @ 1/8/2008 11:58:24 PM]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q7http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q7plime.com <![CDATA[punthe @ 1/8/2008 11:57:20 PM]]>« wags273 : That is correct punthe. You can say whatever you feel like saying but say it to the wrong person and you might get hurt.

Edited to add: One time their going to protest the wrong funeral and someone will lose their cool and one of them will get hurt or worse.And that is exactly what they want!]]>http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q6http://www.plime.com/l/46473/1/rss2_0.rss#q6plime.com <![CDATA[wags273 @ 1/8/2008 11:53:02 PM]]>
