Church to picket Obama’s grandmother’s funeral

Further to the post in which I draw attention to conservatives that rejoice in Obama’s grandmother’s death, this is from a flyer by the Westboro baptist Church, which regularly pickets funerals to tell us how much they (and their god) hate homosexuals:

Westboro Baptist Church
3701 SW 12th St. Topeka, Kansas 66604
785-273-0325

NEWS RELEASE
WBC to picket the funeral of Madelyn Payne Dunham, – pursuant to the picketing laws of Hawaii or Kansas or, etc., wherever burial occurs, – in religious protest and warning to the living; to wit: “Prepare to meet thy God.” Amos 4:11.

Yes. Dying time is truth time, and reflection time, and time for meditating on the weighty issues of life: getting right with God, life, death, Heaven, Hell, sin, righteousness, judgment to come, etc. Obama says his grandmother Dunham raised him, and, her “influence on his manner and the way he viewed the world was substantial.” If so, then she has much to answer for as she stands before the Lord. Obama says he will use the White House as a Bully Pulpit to advance the cause of murdering more babies and same-sex marriage. “God hath appointed a day, in the which He will judge the world in righteousness by Christ.” Acts 17:31.

“And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry to him day and night?” Luke 18:7.

“For we know him that hath said, Vengeance belongeth unto me, I will recompence [sic], saith the Lord. It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God..” Reb. 10:30,31.

These people need lovingkindness. They need to learn how to love. What about 1 John 4:20-21?

If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen. And he has given us this command: Whoever loves God must also love his brother.

Or 1 Corinthians 13?

If I … have not love, I am nothing … Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.

   Ah, well, what goes around comes around. One would rather protect them from the karma of such unkindness. Imagine living with that hatred inside you!

   Hatred is instant karma. It’s like having acid in your guts, eating you up from the inside. It’s a shame that they thrust their dysfunction on others though, especially at times of grief.

   That’s right, God hates fags. And He hates them buddhists too!

   They, and their infidel and reprobate likes, are by no strech “brothers”, but enemies of God and sons of the devil. Read the whole of that epistle of John, and see what sinners and unregenerate men really are.

   Just like the devil you quote scriptures out of their context turning them against the word of God.

   And if you keep being buddhist; enjoy eternal hellfire!

   Your definition of “love” is an abomination before God.

   Enough pearls.

   Hi! I am a Christian who is disappointed by the behavior of this church. I wrote a song called Jesus Didn’t Bring Picket Signs to Funerals and I have used the photo above in conjunction with the song. I cited the source but thought I better ask your permission to use it.

   If you’d like to hear the song please go to this link http://www.theriverbeneath.com/7.html and click on The River Beneath MySpace. I hope you like the song.

   Blessings,
   Benjamin~

   Lyrics:

   Jesus didn’t Bring picket signs to funerals and Jesus didn’t breed hate mongers at all! So stop what you’re doing can’t stop what you’ve done. For Homo & Hetero God sent his son. Let him who has not sinned cast the first stone. And if you think that it’s you, well buddy, I think you might be a little stoned!

   Jesus didn’t wait with a 45 gun outside an abortion clinic. Of course he knew killing babies was wrong and I’m sure he said it quite often. But when you take aim at the doctor, WRONG OR NOT, it’s another child of God that you’ve shot!

   Now tolerance doesn’t mean that you give up what you believe, in fact it’s the complete opposite. When Peter hacked off a guys ear for the Christ Jesus said, Satan get behind me! The Lord knew that God is in control and will have the final say. So don’t take Holy anger and turn it into sin cause we read the book and we know who’s gonna win!
