Westboro Baptist Church’s Plan To Protest Robin Williams’ Funeral Thwarted By Love
Click here for reuse options!The Westboro Baptist Church is trying to spread its vile message of intolerance with a disgraceful protest of Robin Williams’ funeral, but Planting Peace is not letting the hate take root…
Planting Peace, a nonprofit organization founded in 2004 with a mission to spread love and equality around the globe, is set on challenging WBC’s planned protest with a fundraiser. (The group also owns the Equality House, which is situated directly adjacent to the Westboro Baptist Church in Topeka, Kansas.)…
“When the WBC announced they were protesting Robin’s funeral, we felt like launching a fundraiser for a charity Robin loved would be the perfect way to honor him and counteract the message of hate and intolerance that the WBC continues to convey,” [Pantinig Peace co-founder Aaron] Jackson [pictured] said.

Christians are vile hate-filled trouble-makers. When they can’t have their way they kill. They are a cancer in the body of humanity.
TAX the CHURCHES!

If you had said Westboro, I’d have been in full agreement but there are warm genuine Christians out there that work hard to live their faith. I am however in full agreement on taxation. That tax free status for organized religion is just crazy.

Those warm and “genuine” (whatever that means–) christians could be good people without the supernatural hoopla. In fact they’d probably be even better people.

That’s not your call to make. If someone wants to believe, and he can be a good person too, fine. If he doesn’t believe and can be a good person, that’s fine too. But you can’t say he could be a better person without the belief. And I think what she means by genuine Christians is that they try to be Christ-like. Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s what I took from it.

Well, I can make any call I like. And I’ve been observing christians close up my whole life. Our species would be a lot better off if people would stop believing in the supernatural.

I don’t necessarily disagree, I think it’s unfortunate that so many otherwise good, caring people will miss out on so much actual living, while waiting for their “after-life”. I know some very good people that actually believe in following the teachings of Jesus and work hard at helping others. Unfortunately, it’s not the majority of Christians I know (or am related to).

I’ve been an atheist all of my life and I’ve lived a more “christ-like” life than most christians that I know. Good ideas are good ideas–their christ enunciated a lot of good ideas in the sermon on the mount. Most christians these days go back to the old testament and ignore their christ completely.

I have yet to see anything else in life, that is cherry picked as much as the bible and the Christian religion.

True that. I’ve actually read a lot of it–and forgotten most of it. Boring and hair-raising, bloody, and very very misogynistic. No surprise considering who wrote it. Today they’d probably be putting together bloody video war games. I wish that more “christians” would read and follow the Sermon on the Mount. Some day I’d like to read the Jefferson bible. He put it together just using what Jesus (allegedly) actually said.

Some Christians are, and some Muslims are, and some Jews are, and some atheists are. You generalize like that, and you’re just as bad as they are.

I agree with you. After Katrina we saw many churches come in and do good work helping people. Sadly, some came in and demanded joining their faith in order to get help so severely needed. The good works seem to be what most remember, but not forgotten either was the ones who gave help only on their terms. Love is unconditional and anything less is not real love, just conditional concern.

I was truly hoping that the old adage of “chopping the head off of the snake” thing would kick in but … apparently their hate is driven far too deeply. Hate is so not a Christian value in the sense of what Jesus taught. That is what a Christian is … someone who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ. I don’t remember Jesus saying hate gay people, hate sick people, hate your enemy even. Hate is not spiritually healthy either even if you aren’t Christian. It’s toxic. Glad to see something positive in a time when people are quick to spread hate. Put a candle in the darkest room and be that light that someone clings to.
