I know that homosexual lifestyle and especially same sex marriage is a controversial topic to some. To me, love is love. Why should it be called same sex marriage? Why can it not be called marriage? That's what it is. The hatred portrayed by the people of this 'church' makes me want to vomit. While I belong to a church, I don't practice the religion. I do, however, have more than average knowledge of the Bible and I know that this is not what God was talking about. What ever happened to love thy neighbor? Isn't that considered the most important rule? I guess I'm just unsure how to handle these people and what they're doing. Something I was told when I became a parent comes completely in to play in this deal. You are not born with hate. When you're a small child, another child is just another child to play with. Unless you have been raised to hate. It's not something that's ingrained in us. The children in the family were the same age as my son using phrases like 'this nation of fags' and I wanted to cry to hear such things come from the mouths of little kids. How could a parent teach their child to say such awful things about people? How could a good parent teach such hatred to their kids? The image I have posted is exactly what I feel when I see people protesting a lifestyle other than their own. I wonder if the people who protested integration feel stupid now. Just like I feel that people who are protesting marriage are going to feel stupid. I want my kids to grow up in a world where everyone can feel safe to be themselves. I would never want them to be ashamed. How dare these parents of this 'church' teach their children the things they have. I'm not going to be one of those people with as much hatred and say something like 'I hope they die' but I will admit that I am sure glad none of the young adult girls want to get married. It might just mean that I could see the end of this awfulness in my lifetime. To the families of the funerals that have been protested, I'm sorry that you had to suffer through them being there while you were already grieving.

SumBlog 3
So I watched the second part of the documentary. I'm sorry but in my mind the people of the Westboro Baptist Church are bat-s**t crazy. I understand that they think this is what the Bible says and that everything they are doing is completely correct. But it's not. Nothing about what they are doing is Christian in sense of the word. I think the part that is bothering me the most is their language. There are plenty of other words that they could use to describe the group of people they are referring to. It is obscenely derogatory and offensive to use the term 'fag'. I am offended and I am a heterosexual.

I completely agree with your thoughts here. As I am not a parent, but I can understand where you are coming from. This family is brought up to hate people, which is not natural to human kind. Also the words they use are very politically incorrect and vulgar. I agree it was so hard to watch thus tape of the little boy calling people fags and he didn't even know what it mean't. I could barely handle it. Also your point about them saying they are Christians and are the only real Christians i agree with as saying they are far from Christians. This is a very disturbing tape in my eyes and it was hard to watch these people call them selves Christians, while they were acting the complete opposite.
