Un-Christian “Christians” Rebuked

Coming to a town near you!

Make no mistake about it, there are hate-filled “Christians” as bigoted and narrow minded as any Islamo-fascist. Witness what happened in Symrna, Tenn.

Members of a church say God is punishing American soldiers for defending a country that harbors gays, and they brought their anti-gay message to the funerals Saturday of two Tennessee soldiers killed in Iraq.

The Rev. Fred Phelps, founder of Westboro Baptist in Kansas, contends that American soldiers are being killed in Iraq as vengeance from God for protecting a country that harbors gays. The church, which is not affiliated with a larger denomination, is made up mostly of Phelps' children, grandchildren and in-laws.

The church mentioned is dramatically anti-homosexual and blames various American woes -- including September 11th and the war in Iraq -- as punishments from God for this country's tolerance of homosexuals.

The church has apparently already protested at the Massachusetts, Iowa and Idaho funerals of Americans killed in combat.

Fortunately, Tennessee does not agree with the Westboro Baptist message.

Hundreds of Smyrna and Ashland City residents and families of other soldiers turned out at both sites to counter the message the Westboro Baptist members brought.
