Much to my disgust, Westboro Baptist Church has done it again. After the passing of Apple Founder/CEO Steve Jobs, the group announced plans to protest at his funeral. They claim that he was given a big platform but decided to use it to "teach sin" and "give no glory to God." Ironically, they tweeted out this announcement via iPhone and Mac. For those who don't know (which I'm sure is very few) Westboro is a Kansas-based church that has received a lot of attention and hatred by picketing at the funerals of celebrities and U.S. soldiers. They claim that God is punishing America for its tolerance of sin, especially homosexuality.
You know, I don't give a crap about "Freedom of Speech" this has got to stop. If you're really upset with someone, why not picket during another time and at least have the decency to respect the families of those being mourned. I'm sick and tired of these people adding insult to the already hurting hearts of families, all of whom they don't even know. What Westboro does is vile, slimy, and hateful. I don't know what Bible they are reading but it's definitely not the same one I read. I hate to break it to you Westboro, but we all are sinful in one way or another and if you think what you're doing is right, I pray you'll one day find the truth!
P.S. I would have posted a picture of these pathetic losers but I'm not putting their hypocritical propoganda on my blog so I have one of Steve Jobs.
