Title: Hey Canada, you better repent, those Westboro looneys are headed your way Post by: trekgeezer on August 08, 2008, 12:48:59 PM It's a shame they're coming to protest at the funeral of that poor kid who was decapitated on the Greyhound. http://www.edmontonsun.com/News/Canada/2008/08/07/6372186-sun.html Title: Re: Hey Canada, you better repent, those Westboro looneys are headed your way Post by: Patient7 on August 08, 2008, 12:53:40 PM Yes, I'm sure God just told that guy to ruthlessy murder a young man, then taunt everyone around him, that sounds a lot like what Jesus preached.

Sadly, too many people see them and think all Christians are like that, when every Christian I know (myself included) thinks they need to be locked in a rubber room!

I hope they find a better path to peace, since the one they are on now seems less than effective. The shame of it as it stands is that they are inflicting their own torment on other people.

Title: Re: Hey Canada, you better repent, those Westboro looneys are headed your way Post by: AndyC on August 09, 2008, 10:52:39 AM Actually, I think Jesus' thing was taking other people's torment onto himself, so they've almost got it right. :teddyr:
Seriously, God is punishing the Canadian Supreme Court by having a nut on a bus kill and defile a stranger sitting next to him? I guess the lord really does move in mysterious ways, because I can't make any sense of that. Besides, I thought decapitating people in public was more of a Muslim fundamentalist thing. Unless he was the first born in his family, then it would be more of a Jewish thing. I'm not sure what a suitable wrath of God would be for Christian extremists. I didn't see seven heads on the killer. Maybe he was trying to add more, I don't know. Did anybody hear if the victim had feet of clay?

Whoops, I forgot to add: :lookingup: :tongueout: Title: Re: Hey Canada, you better repent, those Westboro looneys are headed your way Post by: Newt on August 09, 2008, 07:37:57 PM Whoops, I forgot to add: :lookingup: :tongueout: =WHEW= - that's a relief! Thought for a moment we had hit a sore spot with you. Of course, the scary thing now is that your humour seems to resemble my own.

(in Buddhist Monk voice) Yes, it is the easily misread sarcasm that binds us all.

(Hmmm...could be the start of a whole new 'service' industry in Canada: unclaimed looney storage.)

As B.C. cartoonist Johnny Hart would say: Westboro Baptist Church members got senses of humor! :tongueout: Title: Re: Hey Canada, you better repent, those Westboro looneys are headed your way Post by: sprite75 on August 10, 2008, 07:18:52 PM Maybe the Canadians will arrest them. One can only hope...

Well, the RCMP have been known to break out the pepper spray at demonstrations. I wouldn't fault them for it in this case.

But thats probably wishful thinking. |
