Check your source dude. I think you just described the Old Testament. Fortunately, if you believe in Christianity, that isn't the way that Jesus worked. Or you could still work from the OT and get at people that have no impact on your day to day life.

A lot of churches have to have security guards now due to whackos coming in and shooting up congregations as they worship.



I know what you mean AshleyD, we have had two church shootings in separate churches that has cost the lives of two of my friends...........

Since you brought up African Americans and the civil rights movement, that opens the door for me to compare what I see occurring in this thread to something in a current thread regarding a white student who was 'attacked' (the articles words, although it was not a physical attack) by her black classmates while her black teacher did not interfere. There were a couple of comments in that thread that basically boiled down to what happened to the white student was excusable/undeserving of sympathy or rebuke, due to the fact blacks have been going through such things in this country for ages.

However, that simply doesn't sound right to me. Yes, my heart goes out to homosexuals who have had to endure persecution at the hands of others. The thing is, I will stand up and say both sides are wrong and will make absolutely no excuse for either group. I'm not going to defend Christians like Fred Phelps because I am a Christian. Likewise, I cannot 'excuse' or sympathize with what the homosexuals did in the OP under the guise, 'It's only fair.'

Homosexuality is indeed becoming more acceptable in society as time progresses. It might be a slow process but they are making headway. Things like this only set the community back further. Anyone a part of any cause, faith, group, etc., absolutely has to stand up for what is wrong and speak out against those in the group who give them all a bad name. If not, eventually a dark cloud will hang over that entire group's head.

Can I understand their frustration? Absolutely. Do I condone it or excuse it? No. I just can't. If a week from now there is an article posted that this church found out who the protesters were, showed up at their house, and broke all their dishes, I'd be equally disgusted.

No one really knows huh. No one seems to know why they have security guards, just guesses as to why a church might have security guards.


It is astonishing to me that you have to ask this question after what just occurred. Obviously the need guards, they will probably need a few more now. My church has 24 hours security guards. There are thousands of dollars worth of PA equipment, multimedia, and musical equipment, computers. Not to mention the collection plates contain large amounts of cash.

I personally did not bring up Westboro.

I still object to your mischaricterzing this as terrorism. Yes pulling a fire alarm is ganderous but it was likely a bad spur-of-the-moment decision and NOT in the same legue as 9/11 or Oklahoma City or anything else where hundreds or thousands of people actually died.

Isnt that the very reason why there is violence...intolorance to other religion??? So we go back to the core of the reason....the "My God is bigger than your God" nonsense...which in turn is the cause for intolorance, which in turn is the cause for violence, which in turn is the cause of war, conflict, death, distruction...and so on and so on.


What people believe doesnt affect me one bit. Others can believe what they wish, as long as no one tries to enforce their belief onto me, and if they do then there will be a problem. And I for one would never try to enforce my belief onto anyone else.

Its just too bad that there are those who cannot understand that simple concept. To let others believe what they believe in, and leave well enough alone.

Its a huge universe..plenty of room for differences in religious beliefs. And plenty of room for tolorance. The reason why there is no tolorance is because others try to force beliefs onto others who do not wish to believe in different beliefs. Thus intolorance, and everything else that goes with it.

IMO, religion is primative, antiquated, and has kept humanity held back for centuries, and will continue to do so.

Just because we have airplane, cell phones, internet, comptuers, dosent mean that humanity acts like it is the 21st century. More acting like its the 1st century.

Cheers!!!!

Yeah, wouldn't it be nice if there were a place where religion was something you practiced in private. I do not mean at home in the dark but you went to your church and you said your prayers and you celebrated your holidays and that was it. Your neighbors would all be allowed to do the same. People of different religions could work and live together without their religions ever intruding on each other's lives. Would that not be great. I learned in grade school that some people got in some boats to go do that somewhere. I wonder what happend. Hard to see it from this anti-gay legislating because God said so country that I live in.

You shouldn know by now that not eeryone on ATS agrees with you, don't post about such a controversial topic if you can't take varying opinions.
