This past Sunday at an American Idol concert in San Jose, California, protesters from the Westboro Baptist Church made it clear that they strongly disagree with “homosexuality”. According to their website, which is named God Hates Fags.com…….
Since 1955, Westboro Baptist Church (WBC) has taken forth the precious from the vile, and is therefore as the mouth of God (Jer. 15:19). In 1991, WBC took her ministry to the streets, conducting 41,002 peaceful demonstrations (to date) opposing the fag lifestyle of soul-damning, nation-destroying filth. In response, America bombed WBC & WBC on 8-2-2008. God is America’s enemy: 5,058 dead soldiers; crashing economy. America crossed the line on June 26, 2003, when the Supreme Court (the conscience of the nation) ruled in Lawrence v. Texas that we must respect sodomy. WBC believes her gospel message to be this world’s last hope. read more about WBC
One of Lambert’s fellow American Idol friends was also preforming during the protest outside the concert. StarPulse.com has released the following…….Sarver wrote on his Twitter.com page, “Funny how people think it’s a good idea to mess with a big Texan and his AI (American Idol) family. Adam is just fine, shakes it off and so should we. We are together in this thing. You mess with one you mess with all ten. We are strong and we are 1. For those outside protesting I say do not judge less ye be judged yourself. Guys don’t mind these people, we are a strong family.”
Disappointment is what I feel towards the Westboro Baptist Church. Their website is dedicated to nothing more then hate. Isn’t the purpose of a church to spread love and understanding, and proclaim Jesus, and love their fellow man? This is not what their web site promotes. They travel all over the United States proclaiming “HATE” in Gods name. I don’t know about their “god”, but my God does not hate and would never tell his “children” to go out and preach for the devil
Now I’m sure there are many more of these radical organizations out there using God as the reason for their actions. The world is full uneducated, ignorant bigots, who will always use hate to hurt others because of their personal beliefs and/or lifestyle choices. These people are out there crusading on a religious campaign and breeding hate in our society. This ideal, that hate can consume a person or a group, has been seen in history on more then a few occasions.
In the end, we do live in the United States of America, and as Americans we have certain rights. One of which is to express our opinions, even when ours might not match what other people believe or feel. Freedom, that is what we are all entitled to, so disagreeing with a cause like this is not going to make it vanish. The “hate” oriented cause will still continue to exist. We do however have the option to let it be known that we disagree, and inform others that hate never wins. And it is not acceptable. Take a stand and refuse to let hate win, refuse to let hate consume your life. After all, this is America. We have the right to be free. Free from Hate.
