Lady Gaga hit out at members of Westboro Baptist Church, calling them "hate criminals".
The singer played a concert in St Louis, Missouri on Saturday night, which was picketed by the controversial church.
Members stood outside the venue holding signs that said "God hates Lady Gaga" in protest at her "promotion" of homosexuality.

I almost feel bad for the WBC, it's like they have nothing better to do. If anything they are just helping the cause they are against because even homophobes know they are nothing but a bunch of ->-bleeped-<-s.

I notice that they're picking on an entertainer and not the whole country, like they did during the black saturday bushfires in Victoria last year

You people are so unfair.
I'm sure if there is nothing to picket, they have an internal picket roster.
'Who forgot to take their lunch to work today?'
" Anyone forget to clean their teeth?"
Oh and the big debate.
Pastor:
I have studied the bible in great detail, and nowhere is there a mention that woman can use things called 'tampons' or 'pads'. God made Eve to flow freely. She was naked! I see no blue or green strings between her legs! All you woman are damned.
Partner of Pastor:
Darling you have the IQ of a tampon, and are of considerably less use.
:laugh:

I don't know her music or anything about her but after reading this I must say she sounds really intelligent, mature and very very thoughtful. I couldn't of said it better myself...

"Although we have had protesters before, as well as fundamentalists at the show, this group of protesters are hate criminals and preach using lude [sic] and violent language and imagery that I wish I protect you all from.
"My request to [fans] and public authorities is to pay these hate criminals no mind. Do not interact with them, or try to fight... Do not respond to any of their provocation."
She continued: "Don't waste your words, or feelings, no matter what you hear or see you are more fortunate and blessed than they are, and in your heart just pray for them."

They are reprehensible, salatious, hate mongers. They give honest loving Christians everywhere a bad name.
But every time they get exposure, they are given what they crave. If they got no press or any advertisement whatsoever, they would whither and blow away.
To see them univerally ridiculed is gratifying but gives them more fuel for hatred.

The scary part of the WBC is that they interpret the bible, literally. Which shows how scary the bible really is.

Actually, the really scary part is, they don't.

The WBC has literally nothing to do with Christianity. They use the broad protection of religious practice and speech in America as a way to provoke people. And that's their business: They sue if people infringe on those rights. It's a scam, an incredibly cynical and dishonest family business. No more, no less.
Let's understand them for what they have finally become: An excuse for everyone they hate to join together in love -- Jews, Muslims, Queer people, soldiers -- damn near everyone. Even Christians, since no actual Christian could possibly live up to their standards. How could they, when their standards don't seem to exist?
So, in contrast to what Lady Gaga says, let's draw as much attention to them as we can. Let's hold them up as the gold standard for hatred, hypocrisy, greed, and just plain stupidity. Let's be inspired, by their hatred, to love. Let's hold them up as the logical conclusion of all the hate that is in the world. Let's show, through our own love and respect and tolerance, how much better the world can be without that kind of hate.
Let's just not give them any reason to sue anyone. That's what they're after. The rest, well who cares. If they want to fester in their misery, that's their problem.

If they do interpret the Bible literary, then they must have torn out the (many ) pages that say, 'love thy neighbor', 'Do not judge lest you be judged' and 'let he who is without sin cast the first stone'. See, even if you do believe all of the religious stuff, there is absolutely no evidence that these small minded bigots interpret the bible literally as Jesus was pretty clear about what he thought about the pharisees and their strict adherence to old testament doctrine which was, and I'll admit that I'm paraphrasing 'Don't be such a bunch of self righteous pillocks and just get on with being good to each other'
If there is a God then I think that these idiots will have some explaining to do come judgement day :laugh:
