SIGN MOVIES

When you see a member of Westboro Baptist Church holding up a sign at the event you're attending, you're witnessing the same type of faithful, unvarnished, Bible preaching that the likes of Noah, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, John the Baptist or Paul were doing - that the name of God is magnified and glorified. Most of our signs have only a few words on them, but each sign gets at the heart of some vital part of God's holy word. Each sign MOVIE offers up a brief yet fascinating, Bible-based theological exposition of the signs we carry. We live in the sound byte generation, so we have to get after it in making it crystal clear what your sins are - hence, the terse messages. But each word on each sign is pregnant with powerful meaning from the Bible out. We are simply applying God's blessed word to the situation on the ground in the world - we are duty-bound to an act of love toward our neighbors in warning you that your sins are taking you to hell. While many of the messages on our signs need little to no extra 'fleshing out' (what part of 'priests rape boys' don't you understand?), these videos will help fill in the blanks for you where needed.

blasphemy.

That is like hating Baseball because of the Yankees.

There are lots of different groups of Christians - these are some of the worst and most misguided.

it is the same with any religion. Just like the over whelming vast majority of Muslims are not the suicide bomber type.

I like God,
It is his fan club I cannot stand.

Funny, my bible does not have Jesus saying anything about homosexuals.
The Old Testament is where you find this type of thing. It is right next to the part about not eating pigs.
The day Peter ate the pig, the Old Testament was out the door. That is a very important part of Christian Theology.
Otherwise, all Christians would follow Jewish dietary laws along with other Jewish customs.
These people are theologically misguided.
Well, actually not. They use false theology to justify their hate and bigotry.

I'm not in the mood for a flame war, but I would ask you to study some of what Paul wrote to the Corinthians and what Jesus said in or around Mark 7:20.

That being said - these people are idiots.

Being a cristian myself, I feel many "christians" cause people to hate us. The very word christian means to be christ-like. back in the day, everybody (well, almost everybody) loved jesus because he loved and accepted everyone regardless of who they were or what they're sin was. He even died for them. We're supposed to share it with the world by being an examle of this and seeing the poor light most people see christians in, we haven't done a very good job as a whole. I try my best to accept everyone like christ did, I am just a person so me judging you just makes me look like an idiot and doesn't accomplish anything. in the end god is the one who judges so it's not my place to act as someone who is better when we are all sinners and equal in his eyes. I hope this is what people come to think of christians rather than hateful and spiteful people. Even the phrase "god hates you" is a lie, which is sin; something that this church is plaguing the planet with and they don't even have a clue.

Flame wars are pointless, just sharing my faith
