Recently many people have been hearing of this organization known as the Westboro Baptist Church (WBC). They were founded back in 1967 and based themselves as an "old school (primitive)" Baptist church. They have no true affiliation with and organized Baptist church, and gratefully so for the Baptists of America. In an article I found on a website that is against defamation, which is defined by the dictionary as "false or unjustified injury of the good reputation of another." This article is to inform people of religious ties that there are people in America who will take religion so far as to say that God hates fags, and Jews. The writer sees that the WBC uses God for all of their excuses of hate and they have outlandish arguments that contradict themselves. Too look up more information you just have to go to their website "Godhatesfags.com" which in itself is something to behold. The article is not one of hate but one of information so that people can see what is going on in this country. Mentioned in the article is WBC attempting to protest at funerals and vigils for victims of 9-11 and the Iraq war, because anything having to do with American politics is "sinful." This article is something for people to read if they want to learn what is happening some people in this world.

That is an interesting website. I wonder why people would judge and say that god hates jews and people who do certain things. i find it really disgusting and i can't believe someone would really think that.
ReplyDeleteChris I completely agree with what you have to about this religious group. In my eyes that is one of the flaws of the human side of religion. People misunderstand what religion should be all about in organizations such as these. It should be about learning from one another's beliefs to further or understanding of what it is to be human.
