Westboro Baptist Church: Thank God for Malaysian Plane Crash

Posted by | July 21, 2014 11:12 | Filed under: Contributors Eric Trommater News Behaving Badly Opinion Politics Top Stories


Westboro Baptist Church is at it again. The group was made famous for protesting at funerals of American service men in women in order to put forth its anti-LGBT agenda. It is now claiming God caused the shooting down of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 because among the 298 dead were a few AIDS researchers.

On Twitter the group posted this:

Which led to a bunch of these:


Which linked to this:

THANK GOD FOR THE MH17 PLANE CRASH On July 17, 2014, A Malaysia Airlines Boeing 777 with 298 people aboard exploded, crashed and burned on a flowered wheat field in a part of eastern Ukraine controlled by pro-Russia separatists . . . Everyone aboard was killed, their corpses littered among wreckage that smoldered late into the summer night. . . .
. Up to one hundred of those passengers on board were HIV and AIDS researchers, activists and officials from the Netherlands who were headed to the AIDS 2014 conference in Melbourne.

Canadian HIV researcher Trevor Stratton bemoaned, “What if the cure for AIDS was on that flight?” Thank God that this righteous work of God has grabbed the attention of the world. It is time to speak some truth! It is the time to declare plainly and unapologetically [sic]: The Judge of All the Earth Shall Do Right! As Abraham declared in Genesis Chapter 18 on the eve of the holocaust that killed millions at Sodom in a few minutes, kind of like this event. The evidence is compelling that these 298 souls are in hell. There is no objectively reasonable basis to believe anything else about the eternal fate of these 298. You all have the responsibility to judge between good and evil [Amos 5:15; Luke 12:57] and take forth the precious from the vile [Jeremiah 15:19]: especially at the time of death and eternity. Make no mistake and nix the lying, maudlin talk: the wicked shall be turned into hell and all nations that forget God. [Psalm 9:17].

Some may also remember WBC’s explanation of the disappearance of Malaysian Flight MH370 and it’s 239 passengers back in April. That was God’ will too.

Despite the death of it’s founder Fred Phelps in March of this year, the church shows no sign of slowing down in its attempts to blame every tragedy on the LGBT community fighting for equal rights. If the tragedy happens to involve Malaysia in any way, shape or form that seems to be just an added bonus.

    There behavior is reprehensible. All they do is project the hate that is in them. It is sad that they parade around acting as if they’re righteous on these issues. They are to Christianity what radical Islamist terrorists is to Islam.

      It took WBC to get Bob Waas and me to agree on something. It’s like an “only Nixon could go to China” moment.

        Who knows, we may find another issue in the next couple of years where we may agree. ☺

    Darn! There I thought when we got rid of the old guy running the show the rest of them would do something human. Boy, was I wrong! When the TV mentioned that AIDS workers were aboard, I thought maybe Santorum or Coulter or someone would have a press conference to announce the score was now God 1, Queers 0. As if straight people never get AIDS. As if we shouldn’t want to save the lives of heterosexuals with HIV even if God takes the homos. If there really were a God, he would round these pitiful excuses for humans up and drop them in the lap of Vladimir Putin.

    Now, it only stands to reason that, if gays were responsible for 9/11 and two tsunamis (as the late Jerry Falwell and Pat Robertson would have us believe), then obviously the gays would also be responsible for bringing down the Malaysian airliner.

    And all this time I was blaming Putin. Boy, do I feel like a schmutz!

    This paranoid homophobic cult (And make no mistake, Westboro is a CULT, not a church) will never give up its gospel of hate — which, if you really think about it, is the gospel of Satan, isn’t it?

    Hate is, after all, the diametric opposite of love, and although I’m not a Christian, an argument can be made that to preach hatred is to preach the gospel of the devil.

    I suppose that branding Westboro satanic might be the only way to shut these hatemongers up.

    Indeed, someone already is doing just that. ChristianNewsWire.com is one of the country’s largest evangelical Christian news aggregators on the Web. In a recent article, CNW said this of Westboro:

    “The Westboro Baptist Church is a cult and is not an evangelical church. They are a cult because they say they speak for God and they do not — they are false prophets.
    . . .
    “The Westboro Baptist Church has the right to free speech, despite their hate-filled speech. They are being used by Satan to make Christians look like false prophets. . .”

    You can read CNW’s full commentary here: http://www.christiannewswire.com/news/439213575.html

    I suppose that branding Westboro satanic might be the only way to shut these hatemongers up.
