[Satire] Westboro Baptist Church Asks For People Not To Picket Phelp's Funeral

[Payday]

Somehow I'm surprised that their website is actually godhatesfags.com.

I urge anyone living around the Topeka, Kansas area to picket this evil man's funeral for every funeral he picketed. I find it appalling that they would have the nerve to even post that kind of shit since that's what they are famous for doing.

An eye for an eye never works out for anyone in the end.

He's gone forever. Everyone else needs to move on with their lives and worry about their own business.

the nerve of those people. if i lived close by, they would get the full force of my feelings towards those scumbags.
i would decorate his gravestone with a gay pride t shirt

Oh, I'd protest. To quote from Red State "Fuck these people"

I don't think people should picket either, but not because they asked.

Funerals are for the living, not the dead. As much of a dick as the guy was, the pain his family feels is sincere and if we're the better people they should be spared the pain they inflicted so readily on others.

If his family were innocent, then ya. But his family is just as deranged as he was. Maybe experiencing the pain they inflicted on others will teach them a valuable lesson (you know, the one they failed to learn from Jesus about treating others the way they want to be treated).

No actual news site would, in their right mind, actually use the word in that article to depict gays. It's fake.

[Naxere]

Maybe a taste of their own medicine will be good for them.

Funny how nearly everyone on this site is so against eye for an eye mentality until they are the ones wanting to give it back.

Eye for an eye demands a fair trial where the guilt must be shown by the one bringing up the case, lest he will get the punishment he demands. The solid foundation of that Hammurabi's law on which whole western justice system is based on (except for punishment for false accusation).

And in this context, that dude is definately guilty beyond any reasonable doubt.

well to be fair any honorary rule, in this case it would be respect the dead, must be enforced the only way you can enforce them, Lex talonis, Tit For Tat!
admittedly the sentiment is a, expression mostly reserved for political rules, but the principle applies.

Do you seriously believe this would change their behavior?

[Gilian]

Even if I was in the area I wouldn't waste my time on these people...

That online group Anonymous hacked their website a few times and made it redirect to a bunch of gay porn sites.

Yeah, the irony there is staggering.

The best way to try to undo the damage done by this hateful person who thought he was a Christian is to forget he ever existed, and get on with your life.

[Sam the Wiser]

Yeah, mods close this. The other one proved people can't handle this.

which is why I find it bizarre people are so on board with keeping them relevant. the sooner we forget these people exist the better. I have said before the WBC is at the bottom of the list of things that need to be taken care of in this country, they are an annoying fly and nothing more.

[Gheld]

Even if it were true, you would probably make a bigger impact by completely ignoring Phelps' funeral. Seriously, they operate off the rules of trolling.

But sometimes trolling is the whole point of life.

[MidworldOy]

Aww.. too bad they didn't have a little decency and respect for the families and friends of the gays and soldiers funerals they picketed.

[Dezerte]

So is this actually a real statement from WBC?

Yeah, I don't like Phelps or his church, but by posting this kind of thing you're stooping to his level. Very classless of you.
