Let’s not play games here guys; I’m a pretty patient guy. Anyone who knows me knows that I try to here out all sides of a story. I believe in the Thucydides’ concept of seeing a situation from all points of view. The only problem with that is that there are ignorant idiots out there who aren’t capable of doing that.
That’s right, I’ve had it up to here with all of the
terrible atrocities that occur throughout the world each and every day, but
this one hits too close to home. I’m talking about those blind, forsaken
shitheads over in Topeka, Kansas. I’m DONE with Westboro Baptist Church.
Couple things before I go on, guys. If you’re
uncomfortable with me prosecuting a religious establishment, I apologize ahead
of time. However, if you question my opposition to the hate that these people
spread like rampant viruses, then I’d like you to, personally, never visit this
site again. You know I appreciate your support, but I will not tolerate having
an audience that supports hate and the spread of it. Now that that’s out of the
way, let’s move on.
If you aren’t already aware, Westboro’s main goal is to
spread the word of God by means of hatred and demonstration. Some of their most
coined messages include, to name a few:
·
“God Hates Fags”
·
“Thank God for 9/11”
·
“God Hates America”
·
“Antichrist Obama”
The
list goes on. And on. And on. And if you think that the messages are the most
horrible thing about this establishment, well, not quite. I think it’s reasonable
to assume that it’s the people SENDING these messages that are so horrifying:
I bet their parents are
so proud. Matter of fact, that’s probably the worst part is that their parents
probably ARE proud of them.
To be blunt, Westboro is passing along the false message
that all of us are doomed to Hell and that we are sinful not for our actions,
but for our very existence. Luckily, I am not the only one who has realized the
Church’s various injustices. Various organizations in across the United States
have already begun to try and stomp out these empty words. Better yet, people
have begun to become involved on a more personal level with eliminating these
evil peoples’ message:
If we keep up this amount of support and the Obama
Administration continues to pass laws that bring us closer to human equality,
then we’re taking a step in the right direction.
We can’t
live a life based on hate; only through love may we prosper. As said in 1 John
4, Verses 7 through 21:
Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone
who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know
God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among
us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live
through him. This is love: not that we loved God,
but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our
sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God
lives in us and his love is made complete in us.
This is how we know that we live in him and he in us: He
has given us of his Spirit. And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to
be the Savior of the world. If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is
the Son of God, God lives in them and they in God. And so we know and rely on the love
God has for us.
God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God,
and God in them. This is how love is made completeamong
us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgment: In this world we are like Jesus. There is no fear in love. But perfect love
drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one
who fears is not made perfect in love.
We love because he first loved us. Whoever claims to love God yet hates
a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their
brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not
seen. And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love
their brother and sister.
