Sometimes it makes you wonder...


The latest campaign by the infamous anti-gay Westboro Baptist Church is to picket singer Ronnie James Dio's funeral with another potentially offensive protest. This has come to light in the NME, MOG and on the AV Club news pages. Looking at one of the most distasteful Westboro Baptist Church websites, godhatesfags, they list the funerals and locations they will be 'protesting' at...

Let there be love shared among us?

Peter, this is one of those groups that is so over-the-top that you've just got to ignore them. I've been aware of them for some years. It's unfortunate, but all they do is give rational, thinking Christians a bad name (as if we needed any more help with that!). Anyway, they're extremists under the guise of Christianity, just like Jihadists are extremists under the guise of Islam.

Cheers Steve... yes, they are notorious but it was still a shock to learn of the Ronnie J-D protest via the music business news this time rather than the gutter press or religious blogs (steady!!!).

Maybe they're in communion with the Landover Baptist Church.

I'm always getting them confused.

Wow, Steve! I'm issuing a scary link warning for it though... P
