Sick Hatred Alive and 'Well'. . .?

Reported on the evening news, the Arizona legislature is writing a bill to be passed and signed by the governor prohibiting  the Westboro Baptist Chruch pastor and family Phelps from picketing at the funerals of the shooting victims at Tucson this weekend.

It is good...for their own safety.  The mood of people would not tolerate the Family Phelps and their cruel antics at funerals of military victims, and their attacks on Matt Shepard and funerals of gays and lesbians.  Enough is enough.  Freedom of speech HAS to have some "limits" just for the sake of common decency and respect.  

If these folks could pass as "religious exemplars" to be emulated  I suspect the "remnant of us" would join the Exodus. . . imho.

The Westboro Baptist Church said Monday it plans to picket Thursday's funeral for Christina Taylor Green because "God sent the shooter to deal with idolatrous America." The fundamentalist church has picketed many military funerals to draw attention to its view that the deaths are God's punishment for the nation's tolerance of homosexuality.

I joined the exodus years ago. And I'm sure if Jesus were alive today he would too.

Thanks, JOHN. . . good points. I like your last comments about 6 months in prison. Wonder how they will like PINK jumpsuits, out in the desert camp with that crusty sheriff.
hehehe

You've got it all wrong, Gary. I've been trying to turn water into wine for years and it just won't work.
