Church Protesting San Diego Comic-Con For "Idol Worship"

[EbonEuro1967]

Well, you got me there. I salute you.

I dunno, they may have a point. I mean, the way I hear some people refer to batman...

I don't know if you're joking or not, but if your serious then I have to disagree with you. People (myself included) like batman because he is an interesting fictional character who's struggles to uphold justice are thrilling to read and watch, and actually include a good deal of symbolism of human nature to boot. But there is a large difference between admiring something and deifying it. I read the "The Killing Joke" and "The Long Halloween", but I did not lay a mat down in my room and pray on it five times a day while facing towards Gotham city.

Don't worry, it was a joke.

Although posts like yours make me think it needn't have been one.

...

Also, how would you go about facing toward a fictional place?

Oh almighty Bruce Wayne. Strike down these retarded westboro church assholes.

 

[Flight]

And people like them are the reason I'm not Christian any more. The WBC is undoubtedly full of idiots who can't even manage to tie their shoes correctly.

*sigh* only in the US, sorry all you americans

 

[Bigsmith]

Do they think that spouting random bible quotes will make their points legit?

yes, that's the problem.

OT: Why don't I have the money to travel that far... Why can't this church be in England, so I can take the piss out of them!

Edit: yay page 15!

I blame the Sumerian's and their polytheism. If it weren't for them we wouldn't look at these characters as a pantheon of modern gods. Although I guess Thor kind of has one foot in the old gods as well.

 

[BlackStar42]

I feel sorry for you guys. Thank God Batman that they haven't heard of the UK.

They have, they're just banned from the country

Really? Wow. For the first time ever, hats off to the Home Secretary.

I'd get a bunch of

In the perfect world a large group from comicon, say 40 would go right next to them and start blowing those vuvuzelas until their ears bleed. What a sight that would be.

Or get some really loud techno music and start a rave around them.

If I lived in California, I'd do that with you.

Oh man, I hope a group of people do both and post it on the internet. I'd buy that for a dollar!

you don't have to live in California to mess with Westboros. they started in Topeka Kansas, and that's only a few cities away. They protested at my school. they wouldn't let us go near them though, and there ended up being more cops than protesters.

I don't think they're located in the NYC area though.

What's next for these assholes..protesting a McDonalds because an Indian man got sick off a french fry and had the liquid shits for a day?

No, they would attribute it to the Indian mans heathen, godless religion, and say that he is being punished for it.

 

[Xanadu84]

I love WBC. Nothing gives quite as much credibility to a group as WBC saying how much they hate it. They are the ultimate straw man.

 

[Mr.Squishy]

The stupid, it hurts

 

[Kojiro ftt]

Instead, let's idolize a god we made with our own hands.

 

[quiet_samurai]

Yep not suprised. They tend to make anything that people find fun.... or even just completely normal seem sinful.

 

[sabercrusader]

These are the same people who picketed Ronnie James Dio's funeral for worshipping the devil. Despite Dio being a Catholic.

those bitchs! they can't even respect the dead.

 

[Doc Cannon]

They are so idiotic and intolerant they deserve to get their mouths washed with buckshot.

I hate religious fanatics.

 

[LightOfDarkness]

What's next for these assholes..protesting a McDonalds because an Indian man got sick off a french fry and had the liquid shits for a day?

Didn't McDonalds allegedly put bits of beef or some kind of beef related product in their fries, thus making him sin (or whatever the word is for Indians)?

I really wish I could've gone to Comic-con this year. I would've dragged God himself along with his son, Jesus H. Motherfucking Christ, just to prove to them that they have gone so far over the line that they need a motherfucking network of satellites just to figure out where they are, much less get back over it, and then get sent to a circle of hell deeper than that which George Lucas should go to for absolutely ruining the Star Wars franchise.

 

[Tolerant Fanboy]

The WBC really picked the wrong targets this time. If there's anything that Revenge of the Nerds taught us, it's that misunderstood intelligentsia plot the best revenge schemes.
