Since this event is being run by the Westboro Baptists, I would not say a 'pastor' is leading it!

These people are crazy!

When we were at Notre Dame protesting Obama's visit there with other Pro-Life groups, these nuts were there too. They were against EVERYONE!

The Catholic group was walking with other Protestants, united together against abortion...but these people actually had signs that said, "God Hates You". huh? They also had signs like the 'walk' signs, but with images of homosexual sex...and "God Hates Fags". If you try to tell them that God can 'hate the sin, yet love the sinner', they scream at you. You can't reason with them, if you read Scripture to them, they scream you down.

My kids want to work in TV/Movies, they are wanting to get involved with other Christian/Conservative groups who want to take the reins in Hollywood to promote/present family/Christ valued entertainment. We went to San Diego's huge Comic Con this past weekend. It used to be just 'comic book' stuff, but now all popular media is there. There are faith based groups but also some dark stuff (just like in the rest of the world). Being a light in the darkness is important...plus, my kids have always loved to act, film, write, photograph...all sorts of interests.

Anyway this same group showed up to 'protest'. They said that even 'dressing up' as any character from tv/movies/comics was 'idol worship'. They were yelling at families with little kids dressed as the heroes from popular shows/movies. Positive characters even (ie Captain America, Wonder Woman, et al). They were shouting that these people and their children were going to hell!!

Most of the people at the con realized they are not speaking for the Christian Church and 'protested' too...some of it was funny, like the robot character who carried a sign that said, "I hate you too, death to all humans", or the 'borg' with a sign in binary. Even the Stormtrooper from Star Wars with "I hate Jedi's"...

The thing is, no one takes these people seriously. Unfortunately, some people don't realize that they are NOT speaking the truth of the Bible...and think all Christians feel the way they do. We ARE told to pray for our enemies, to love others. We can 'hate the sin, yet love the sinner'. These people do not get that. They are full of hate, which tells you right there that Christ can not be in their hearts.
