Why hasn't the government arrested everyone associated with the WBC yet?
Because in America you are allowed to say or express anything.

Thankfully in Canada we never say you can express anything, but you are still allowed to express yourself.

Ugh. If there's one thing I absolutely despise above all else it's fanatics. -_-

Fucking scourge of humanity.

Y'know, it's times like this that I'm glad I'm alive. These people have gone from hateful group of psychos to comedy act in front of comic con. I can't afford to go into the con, but I might go just so I can poke fun at them.

Everyone go make a "Batman saves the faithful" and "Superman supports gay rights" posters and wait for them to start the fight. Just be sure to wear some skin-tight Kevlar.

If one would sit down and think about it, the church is worshiping an idol. They're just mad that the comicon has more fans.

Lol, why can't people like this mind their own damn business and just stay in their church where they belong? If you have a problem with it, yell at yourself not others. I do think it's funny how people like this make an excuse for trying to forcefully recruit people to be their religion, is that "We're saving them" XD

You can't tell people who to worship! Heck even I've asked the RNG (random number god) and the dice lord for help whilst planning DnD sessions!

Seriously, these are the kind of nutjobs that make religion look bad. They aren't even Christian, they just have the audacity to call themselves that. Real Christians, if they had an issue with something you're doing, would be like, "Hey, I'm not cool with that, here's why I think it's a bad idea. But I forgive you for doing it."

I believe these days we have far, far too many people that put themselves under a religious banner only to ignore the parts of it they don't like. What happened to forgiveness, love thy neighbor, all that? Hell, it's even part of the Lord's prayer. "Forgive us our sins as we forgive others for theirs." Something close to that.

I'm not particularly religious, but I can respect those who are, but I have absolutely no respect for hatemongers like this.

Also, I'm sorely tempted to dress up as Batman, and start moshing on these people whilst yelling, "DON'T YOU KNOW WHO I AM!?!? I'M THE GODDAMN BATMAN!!!!"

I wonder if a publisher is faking this protest for PR reasons or if it's really the WBC protesting. Certainly no one would put it past EA or Activision to hire some faker protesters for some unannounced project. They already did it once for Dante's Inferno.

WBC does seem to be a bunch of crazies, but I assume they're non-violent. Let them protest, it's not as if anyone will listen to them.
Nope - its legit. Or as legit as the Westboro Baptist Church is (god I hate typing that, insults church and baptist at the same time). It's on their picket schedule between picketing Al Gore and a Catholic Church.

All of their pickets are listed on their homepage (which I will not link, I am sure typing the URL would get me banned).

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 :D
Really? Wow. For the first time ever, hats off to the Home Secretary.
They've heard of almost every country... and are banned from nearly all of them.

1. I really don't think god would care (assuming he exists)and if he did why has he one nothing for the 70 odd years since they've been out, for that matter wtf has he done about anything lately?
2. Stuff like this actually cuts the legs off of these religious groups because they turn more people away from christianity with their whining and protest groups
3. All religions are essentially evil and intollerant with maybe one or two exceptions like buhdism and mormonism (if thats the right term)as most wars circa 1500 AD had some religious reason or cause behind it.
4. Superman and Thor could kick God's arse any day
