I bet we can have a calm and rational discussion on this

[Artha]

The Westboro Baptist Church (that “God Hates Fags” crew from the heart of Jesusland USA) presents their cover “We Are the World,” rewritten and retitled as “God Hates the World.” The following spectacle managed to be both surreal and fleshcrawlingly creepy at the same time. I’m fairly sure all the people on screen are related to each other. If you can stomach it, the last twenty seconds are as close to pure evil as I’ve seen today.

These people are crazy.

[Stanley Burrell]

My ridiculously cynical side wants to say this was a stunt made by people to tarnish the already screwed up image these fucksticks convey. Then I saw the little girl in the end and realized... Yeeeah... :no:

[Gan]

Freaks.

[Drew2]

I'd care if God were real.

[Xiandrena]

The saddest part of that twisted thing was at the end where the little girl sang the song and looked proud of herself. Hope she can kick the brainwashing early.

:wtf:

[Methais]

Religion at its finest.

Why hasn't anyone murdered these people yet? Or at least set their church on fire.

[ElanthianSiren]

:rofl: what a bunch of attention whores.

If these people are going to heaven, I'm glad I'm going to hell.

Don't think for a second that these people are religious wackos. The whole family (most of them are related) are lawyers. They are trying to get people to attack them. They are pushing their rights so they can sue. They are fucking morons if they don't realize this will never work. They are the most balls out trollers in history. The Wikipedia on the Phelps family doesn't even touch on how uncaring these poeple are. They are blood sucking bitches. The sad part of the whole thing is that they are trying to turn all their children into the same thing.

[Skeeter]

I think you give them too much credit.

[Whimsi]

I don't know why anyone would be shocked. I mean Christianity has been used as a mask for much evil before. History is littered with examples.

All sorts of nasty people have claimed christian status. Just because someone takes a label doesn't make it so though.

This shit makes me sick.

There really ought to be exceptions to "Freedom of Speech." Religious beliefs, for one.

Fucking bible belt.

Fucking bible belt.

Jury trials.

Edit: Limiting the tax exemptions they get would help too. Alot of the small family churches are fronts for semi-legal tax evasion.

I understand that you mean to do this in the here and now -- but I think it's happened before by the looks of most of those people -- and that's why they sing that song.

It's probably the same reason Tabor and Parkbandit have so much pent up angst.

Because it's shocking? History is littered with religious-inspired atrocities from many faiths- that doesn't make it the norm (for a religion).

Stop projecting.. my wife didn't flee to another country to get away from me.

I love how they do all this and still call the "rest of the world" vain, certainly looks to me like they're the self absorbed ones. It's sick what they're doing to their kids, nothing like breading hatred.
