So, I was reading news articles the other day when I came across this tidbit about the Westboro Baptist Church. If you are not familiar with WBC, they are known for being the infamous authors of the website God hates fags.com and God hates america.com (I will not link to them, I don't want to associate with that trash.) They have been known to show up at military funerals to protest, saying that God rejoices in each and every military death, because he hates America, since it (America) takes tolerates homosexuality. A few searches on youtube would surely turn up some of their crap.

In any case, I said to myself, self, while it is good that these horrible people paid for their, quite honestly, evil activities, it does create a very dangerous legal precedent for those who practice their faith. It's not too many steps away from someone being able to sue you for "emotional distress" because you asked if you could pray for them, etc. Food for thought. Smiley

Well one article said that the settlement far exceeds the defendants net worth... though they'll probably have to pay it in pieces.

This is absolutely awful.

Here's a wrench, though. As much as I hate to say it, us spewing hatred towards them is just doing the same thing they do to homosexuals. Don't get me wrong, what they're doing is horrible and is no doubt causing great damage to the kingdom. But, they need God's mercy more than anyone else because they are taking God's word and twisting it around to fit their agenda. They are even more deceived by the enemy.
