Are you kidding?! If these people would spend even some of the energy that they spend on these comic books, reading the Bible, well no high hopes here. They have turned comic book characters into idols, and worship them they do! Isaiah 2:8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made: 9 And the mean man boweth down, and the great man humbleth himself: therefore forgive them not. It is time to put away the silly vanities and turn to God like you mean it. The destruction of this nation is imminent - so start calling on Batman and Superman now, see if they can pull you from the mess that you have created with all your silly idolatry.
There’s ignorant. There’s intolerant. There’s uber-Jesus-y. And then there are the inbred, hateful trolls of the Westboro Baptist Church (no, I’m not about to provide a link), who seem to confuse the teachings of Jesus Christ with Niccolo Machiavelli’s The Prince or a Sam Peckinpah film. I’ve become pretty good at ignoring Rev. Fred Phelp’s merry band of inbred bigots, but this time they’ve truly outdone themselves. Not content with protesting the funerals of fallen American soldiers, the WBC zealots are now looking to branch out. Judging by their theological underpinnings, these idjits won’t be satisfied until we’re all living in mud huts with only a Bible for entertainment and edification.
Today, the WBC Traveling Road Show Of Virulent Hate And Intolerance will be in San Diego, where they’ll be picketing…nerds. Yes, you read that correctly; Phelps’ coterie of inbreds will be protesting Comic-Con, that renowned confabulation of dateless males and misfits who are really a threat only to themselves.
I almost feel sorry for these black-hearted zealots, consumed by hatred and ignorance as they are. Phelp’s cadre of uber-Jesus-y hate mongers are as much about the teachings of Jesus Christ as Timothy McVeigh was about Liberalism and peaceful co-existence. These fools wouldn’t recognize tolerance and charity if it walked up to them and bit them on the ass. I can still remember the anger I felt when they picketed at the Johnson Space Center in Houston after the shuttle Columbia blew up and disintegrated over east Texas. What pouring salt in the collective wound of a grieving community does to promote Christianity is something that’s beyond my puny ability to understand. Protesting a nerd convention makes even less sense, but whatever gets you through the night, eh?
Man, if these maroons are Christians, then I’m the Queen of England. I’m not a Christian; I don’t even believe in God…but if there’s a Hell, Fred Phelps and his band of inbreds are in the express lane with the accelerator glued to the floor. I can only hope that when they meet their version of God, there will be Hell to pay for their brutal, mean-spirited intolerance.
Go to Hell. Go directly to Hell. Do not pass “GO”. Do not collect $200….
