Protests at Soldier's Funeral

Jeremy Riggs · 2011 Super Bowl Champions!

Well, we can take some comfort at the fact that there's only 15 of these idiots.

I think there's more than 15, there were just 15 of them at this particular protest.

That is so sad. It is hard to believe what people do in "the name of God!" No respect, no respect for humankind!

If there weren't this fighting for hundreds of years, these people wouldn't even have the right to protest. Duh. Does history and religion teach us nothing? Sometimes I wonder what these people are thinking. I am sure in their minds they mean well, but please.

What angers me about these idiots who love to create controversy, is that its not so much what they want to convey, its about them being seen conveying it. I really hope they get theirs. THey got it coming.

I'm really surprised that none of the mourners got violent with the protestors.

Oh my god.

these people are sick and evil and completely disrespectful. I can't even imagine if this were a funeral for one member of my family.

these people do not deserve the protection of the US military. I am shocked and dismayed that such activities would be allowed. I am surprised the government would allow this or even the people that live in the town would turn a blind eye to such disgusting behavior.

For shame.

It's sad when a few radicals give the whole group (Christians) a bad name.

I think that sin is sin in God's eyes. Doesn't matter if it's being gay, or saying something mean to another person in a forum. I don't think God puts a rating scale on sin.

My reason for saying that is I think a lot of Christians attack gays because for most of us, being gay is not something we struggle with, or have any problems avoiding. We (Christians) can go after gays and not have to worry about the finger ever pointing back at us. If we were to rally or protest against hate, pride, lust, etc. there is a good chance that we will one day also do those things ourselves. That then places us under our own judjement. Something most of us want to avoid.

This makes me sad. Certainly for the family of the soldier, but also for the impression that these few are giving the world of Christians. Christians are not supposed to act that way.

Exactly! What happened to respect for your fellow man? And they brought their kids along to picket with them! "Come on kids, it's time to picket a funeral. Use the bathroom first, and don't forget your signs..."

Somechick · Chairwoman Of The Board

These people protesting just makes me sick to my stomach. Having friends who are over in Iraq right now fighting makes me think these people are even more crazy and disgusting than ever before. I'm completely horrified at this. And yeah, teaching your kids to do this is terrible.

I'm too angry to even type anything else.

Somechick, that's exactly I feel. There aren't words to describe the way these people acted. Disrespectful, despicable, rude, just aren't strong enough.

CP · Lord of the Lair

Acrimonious. This is what it makes me.

For what it is worth.

I have had to deal with Fred Phelps on many levels. He has traveled to Tulsa to protest our Pride Parades ( we are closer than the Madison, Milwaukee, CHicago, New York, and St Louis Pride fests that take place every year.)

They travel to Dallas to protest the unoffical "Gay Days" at Six Flags ( similar to Gay Days at Disney)

He protested a High School Student in Sand Springs who was on National Television and coming to terms with his Sexuality.

I agree with Webguy. The guy gives all Christians a bad name. There are many of us ( myself included ) who are Christian and who are more accepting of someones lifestyle. While many do not agree with it they do not judge people on it. They take the person at face value and what is on the inside.

After the mathew Shepard funeral there was a now defunct web site that Phelps put up called godhatesfags.com It was pretty graphic and he thinks he is doing a service for the people of the bible belt but all he is doing is creating sin amongst himself and when he faces our heavenly father he will be cast into the fires of hell for his wrong doing. It does not matter how small you think it is it can affect you for the rest of your life.

I still pray and go to church every sunday and it has made me a better person. I may not get married to a beautiful women as Fuzzy,Ruby, MZ and Star are all taken ( tI think) But I dont judge anyone and consider everyone here equal and good in thier own right. I respect all of you and hope the same in return.

NOW LETS BOOGIE!!!!!!!!!!!
