I think they just are made because comic book super heroes are more believable then their fantasy story.

I am truly sorry they did that at your uncle's funeral. These are the type of people that make life miserable for the rest of us and have no true heart.KiruTheMant said:

I think that this guy handled the situation very well without ignoring them.JayDub147 said:
OT: I never take the WBC seriously, but I was not surprised that they call love of comic book characters idol worship.
They don't make any sense, seems they haven't heard not everyone has the same beliefs and them protesting aggressively with terribly sad messages will just make the majority think of them as nut jobs and assholes. All well, these people remind us that free speech is a two way streak and ignoring them is what will kill 'em.
Two car bombs were supposedly detonated out the house of a member of the WBC. And they get spit on and kicked.DividedUnity said:
Hry! They said everything gets 10 outta 10! What about FISTING?
Where were they to protest in front of the Midnight release of Eclipse? I mean those people worship Edward and Jacob as MUCH bigger idols than anyone at Comic-con worships batman and superman.
They claim that comic fans worship 'Superman like God'? Well, I don't see any of these fans basing their way of life and morals on Superman. I don't see any societies basing thier very groundwork on Superman. Conversely, I don't see any of these fans preaching hate, promoting predjudice and generally disregarding the wellbeing and rights of their fellow man, in Superman's name. Perhaps we can blame illiteracy (which is ironic that the target is comics!) for these people not knowing what idolatry really means. More precisely, we can blame their overwhelming stupidity. Notice that some of their previous protest signs have read, "Thank God for 9/11". Are these the kind of poeple whom God wants on his side? I don't want to speak for the Big Guy but a few bolts of lighting could fix this!
I think the best thing anyone can do in this situation is to ignore these people. Don't acknowledge their existence in any way. These kind of people thrive off of confrontation, because it fuels their self-image as martyrs being persecuted. So, if you really disagree with them, don't give them that. Anything other than total lack of acknowledgment will only encourage them.

Yes, but those people are even nuttier than these guys....Krion_Vark said:
Whenever I hear of the WBC protesting a funeral for a soldier that died, I only have one idea for a counter protest...
When that old f--k that is their patriarch dies, I'm going to get some people to protest his funeral. Show them what it's like.

What's the name of the documentary? I really want to see it.Jiraiya72 said:
O.P. Seriously? Comic books? False Idols? *Double Facepalm*
Well what else is he doing with his time? He's always "busy". What is it? Paperwork? Long lunches? The Big Guy makes the Universe, and at first He's really hands on and proactive, but then he installs layers of middle management, bureaucracy and red tape, and we almost never hear from him again! I doubt He's got more pressing issues and I would think that (literally) firing some of these inept management contractors would be high on his list.paragon1 said:
These people make me sick, they picket the funerals of soldiers, gays, rock stars, movies stars and poor people who have died from STD's in the name of their "god" (I refuse to believe that god is as hateful, spiteful, vengeful and hipocritical as they seem to believe). And now this, what the hell is wrong with these idiots, they only make themselves look like a bunch of assholes. They even claim they aren't here to convert people (not that anyone whould join these nuts), then what the fuck are you doing holding such hateful signs up? This isn't idol worship, it's just people going to a convention to be around other like minded indiviuals, their isn't any form of real "worship" going on, they just enjoy the characters portrayed in those stories. Why haven't these people been shot yet?
