In a church you would imagine to see it as a place of peacefulness, and happiness. You would never see it as a hatred, hurtful place to discourage or harm people about their beliefs or interests. In the Westboro Baptist Church they are known as "bullies." They were established in 1955 by Pastor Fred Phelps. Still existing today, as an old school church. They are known for picketing the funerals of US soldiers who died during the wars. Westboro Baptist Church engages in "peaceful" daily walks opposing the homosexual lifestyle of soul-damning and nation destroying filth. They adhere the teachings of the bible, and they preach all forms of sin. They teach no way of the Christianity life styleThe WBC makes colorful signs with horrible, disgusting sayings and words. For example, they say things like, "God hates Fags", "AIDS cures fags", "Fags burn in hell", "Fags doom nations", "God blew up the troops" and so the list could go on. They say that when God says "he loves everyone" that it is a lie made up from the bible, "Jesus died for everyone. They say if your church is teaching you these type of things that your church does not teach what the bible teaches. They think what they do is a moral thing. Does this seem like a type of church you would ever want to attend or be apart of? In our eyes everything they are doing is beyond immoral. Why do the WBC act like this? Why do they think it is okay to protest against homosexuals and gays, or protest against the US soliders who have died for us? They feel as if since soldiers are already doing the killing then why can't they? They say that the other churches are destroying the world, and that everything is a lie so they need to spread around the "truth." They have no human dignity for other people and show none, even though they feel as if they are. They feel as if everything they do is good or a charity but no one thinks or cares about what they do. As people who are not part of the WBC protest, what do they think? They thank them for doing it. They think it is stupid, but they thank them for doing it.. As of my opinion, i think it is down right horrible. Yes, i know we have a free will and free rights in society but what makes it even right to do things such as this. First off, a church is the one protesting against such a thing, and people apart of the church are agreeing.
There are definitely people out in this world who completely agree and completely disagree. It is not right for someone to say such things, or bring the bible and the church into it. A church who thinks sin is the right thing to do is completely stupid. I myself as a Catholic will never understand on how a person would ever think it is right to go and protest at a military funeral. Just because you think God has killed them. Yes that is your opinion on the situation but you have no right to just go and interrupt a family in their deaths funeral service. It is ridiculous, and just not right for something to happen in society. In my opinion society has got some really stupid people in it, even after they have gone through the education process.
I think you did a good job talking about what they do to others. I also think that you are right when you say it is horrible.
ReplyDeleteThis is ridiculous and society does have stupid people that interrupt family funerals.
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with what you are saying and i just cant understand why people have to go to such extremes.
ReplyDeleteI like how you said that they feel other churches are destroying the world when the truth is that organizations lke these are the ones that do the most damage. Great job
