For a serious answer, there is my personal quote on the subject;
The greatest sin is to cast your evil upon the face of God
To ascribe to Him the darkness in your own heart.

Well done!
zombie or not, if you have faith then god will provide a sign.
I really hate it that I never look at the date on these things and read through the whole sorted mess until someone mentions zombies and then I’m all :smack:
Oh, and yes, the creepy Poltergeist preacher, dead ringer!
To think that a religion-twisting illogical jackass (who in history has tried to take a pro-conservative position by bashing military heroes?) will do anything but revel in counter-protests by “sinners” is one of (no offense) the dumber ideas I’ve heard. Attention is oxygen to people like this. You have to be pretty dead to the opinions of your opponents to do what they’re doing. You aren’t going, in a million years, to convince Phelps and his small band of acolytes. And you don’t really need to convince anyone else that the nutjobs are out of line.
Yes, I know this thread is a zombie, but maybe tomorrow morning I’ll wave to the WBC outside my church. We’ve been picketed for six weeks straight, no reason to think that tomorrow won’t be #7.
Back in the early 90’s, when the WBC was getting started with this I took tons of pictures of them, and counter-protests. But I don’t have the negatives any longer, just the pics, so I can’t post them. My favorites were taken at 17th and Gage, here in Topeka, when they picketed St, David’s Episcopal. It would be one of them, one of us, one of them, and so on. Once the bishop of the Kansas diocese came and held counter signs with us. That was a way cool picture, and I still respect him for that. He wasn’t an ivory tower kind of guy.
I secretly thought the best thing to do, were I to counter-protest the WBC, would be to get some foxy men and women to saunter around in skimpy swimwear or something, just to plant seeds in the minds of the younger, sexually repressed/confused/blossoming WBC-ers. Their parents would have to put away the teens and preteens, lest they start thinking thoughts about the human form.
This probably doesn’t help the OP though.
JESUS LOVES YOU
but I just want to be friends
Winner.
I still have a t-shirt that shows a picture of someone being hit by a lighteningbolt, flung from a hand coming out of a cloud. They’re mostly skeleton, and holding a sign, now partially burnt, on which you can see -OD --TES -AGS.
The shirt says “God doesn’t hate anyone, but he ain’t too fond of Fred.”
I’m with Stupid
This was in an editorial cartoon mentioned in a recent Gene Weingarten on-line chat on the washingtonpost.com web site. My google-fu is weak today, and the WaPo “upgraded” their web site so I can’t easily find a link to the cartoon or the chat.
Reference or no, it’s brilliant! I hope someone can find the name of the cartoonist, who deserves credit.
Things are pretty much okay!
