Huh... a bunch of biggots hated/banned by every country in the world protesting in front of a group of individuals in costumes so that their identities can't be known in the event they deliver some retribution and have a panache for violent video games... wonder how that will turn out?

See how childish this is?
Way to base your entire opinion on religion (at least 80% + of the world is at least mildly religious) based on the few extremists.freakymojo said:
I dunno, probably some stupid, heart of the cards, power of love bullshit. The only person I rank lower than them is the wife of the founder of Autism speaks, due to her saying that she believed that autistics should be eradicated, I guess meaning that she wanted to "cure" autism not to help out autistics, but so that she wouldn't have to deal with autistics anymore.Virgilthepagan said:
God, i fucking hate zealous nut jobs!
My dad had a nun say this to him when he was in school.
She said "Those savages in paupa new guniea worship rocks" under a granite cross with a also stone jesus on it.
Can you see the irony in this?

As an atheist I find their statement hilarious. But seriously guys, those who worship Batman and Superman spit in the face of the one true hero, Spiderman.
Nack that.
I'm reading the fucking bible and screwing up this whole shit face argument posed by the church.

WBC make their living by picketing and then suing for rights violations. They spend up to a quarter million per year doing that stupid shit and the whole racket depends on publicity - if the oxygen of publicity was withdrawn they would wither on the vine.
That said, while the "Lame" video did make me laugh, I think this one is my favourite counter protest: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j7Of_2ykZpQ
I suspect that if they do show up at Comic Con the attendees will be...rowdy. Which is what WBC wants. What was done in the video I linked is a better solution.
And frankly I expect that the WBC will go down like Capone in the end - tax fraud. When the "church" is almost exclusively family members (with only 3-4 exceptions) then it is starting to cross the line in to whether or not it is a "church" at all and thus lose tax exempt status (I read recently about a swimming pool on their compound that was quickly filled in - wondered if the IRS got close that time).
Like many countries in Europe they are refused entry to the UK. Like many countries - including the USA - free speech is an illusion and is controlled by legal checks and measures. I believe that their kind of incitement to hatred is not permitted (we don't allow certain music acts that sing about burning gay people to death either).
Their habit of picketing the funerals of servicemen is, of course, reprehensible and I believe that there was a change in the federal law in the US that bans protests within a certain distance of a cemetary. WBC would, of course, love it if someone took a swing or tried to chase them off because then they could sue. I believe that the Patriot Guard do sterling service and that they welcome anyone who wants to ride along when these pickets happen so long as you don't let yourself get provoked.

This picture just made my day!NeutralDrow said:Hmm...I'll probably see them there, then. Sadly, the anime rooms were moved to a different building.
Really, not much else I can say. Someone beat me to it.
I really fucking hate extreme christians like these going around the fucking place preaching about their oh so perfect, blackmailing,hypocritical (how many commandments has he broken)genocidal child-killer of a god who got the sexy on with josephs wife otherwise known as "coveting thy neighbours wife" i belive.
i mean, i have no problem with who or what people worship in the privacy of their own home but walking about scaring people shitless with threats of burning for eternity if they don't go raising another generation of homophobes just the other day there was a thread about a girl scared about going to hell simply for being concived through IVF and it's just things like this make me fucking angry!
This is why i call Christians crazy(i know first hand how insane they can be)
I mean most of them are extreme going around shoving Jesus down our throats(A door slammed into your nose means fuck off i dont want to join you)
Am i the only one who sees the treatment of children by religion as brainwashing? In a way they are forcing children into a religion they have no idea is right or wrong(IDK how i man aged to see my parents were retarded and so was the Christian religion when i was a kid) but am i the only one who sees training kids into a religion like that as wrong?

Can the Police just do the world a favour and shoot these nut jobs? They are clearly religious extremists and while they don't blow themselves and innocent people to whatever awaits after death, they do cause people alot of anguish and pain. People like that may claim the right to freedom of speech but personally I think the freedom to say what you think stops when what you think is complete hatred and bile.
If there is a god he won't let these people breed and contaminate the genepool anymore than it already is.
