Hate Group to Demonstrate at Heath Ledger’s Funeral

This story disturbs me on so many levels. In fact, it is weird and ugly enough that I couldn’t even figure out what category to put this post under!

A Baptist church in Topeka, Kansas has said that they will demonstrate at Heath Ledger’s funeral because he is going to hell for playing a gay person in the movie BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN. This group is known for demonstrating at the funerals of soldiers who are killed in Iraq and they also have a website called GodHatesFags.Com and GodHatesAmerica.Com. The only positive thing in the article above that I noted was that this church is considered a hate group and is monitored by the Anti-Defamation League.

But what really bugs me is that this is a fine example of why so many people have stopped believing in religion. How in God’s name can you, in good conscious, hang out with people who believe that they are more righteous than others? Jesus taught us to love one another and not to judge, but somewhere along the way this message has gotten lost.

All I can say is that these folks will someday receive their just reward.

One of the biggest reasons I quit attending church was because of the radical actions of so-called Christians. This just turns my stomach!

Me too Gayla, me too.

Deeply, deeply unpleasant. What are they thinking?

Not in my name.

I don’t know how people can do this with a clean conscience. They, I believe, will ultimately burn in hell for the atrocities that they are committing.

If there really is a hell after life, I agree that these folks qualify for admission.

I know that this is just the sort of hate filled behavior that drives people from Christianity. I don’t know anyone to leave a religion because of messages of love and acceptance.

You got that right, Ana

well… if i simply declared that I represent a charity and asked you for money, then you find me driving a BMW with that money, does it make all charities bad? There will always be the black sheep. Otherwise, this would not be Earth. It would be Paradise.
